Description
Summary:The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on metallic electrodes must be elastic and able to reversibly flex and expand to accommodate changes in electrode volume. In their Communication on page 992 ff., L. A. Archer et al. describe the use of SiCl4 as an interfacial cross‐linking agent in liquid electrolytes to create hybrid SEIs on Li metal anodes. The hybrid SEIs are composed of Si‐interlinked OOCOR molecules and host LiCl salt. These systems exhibit good charge‐transfer kinetics and high exchange current densities.
