TL;DR: In this article, the surface reactions of electrolytes with the graphitic anode of lithium ion batteries have been investigated using two novel techniques, which are enabled by the use of binder-free graphite anodes.

TL;DR: Spontaneous leakage from the dMLs decreased with increasing nanoparticle loading, consistent with greater bilayer stability and a decrease in the effective dML surface area due to aggregation, but with radio frequency heating, the initial rate and extent of leakage increased significantly as a function of nanoparticles loading and electromagnetic field strength.

TL;DR: In this article, an investigation of the interrelationship of cycling performance, solution structure, and electrode surface film structure has been conducted for electrolytes composed of different concentrations of LiPF6 in propylene carbonate (PC) with a binder-free (BF) graphite electrode.

TL;DR: In this paper, high aspect ratio cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum rods were synthesized at room temperature in the environment of water-in-oil microemulsions using a combination of two surfactants: the anionic bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) and the zwitterionic phospholipid l-α-phosphatidylcholine (lecithin).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of electrolyte additives fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and vinylene carbonates (VC) on the structure of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) was investigated via ex-situ surface analysis including X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Hard XPS (HAXPES), Infrared spectrograms (IR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
