In situ formation of circular and branched oligomers in a localized high concentration electrolyte at the lithium-metal solid electrolyte interphase: a hybrid ab initio and reactive molecular dynamics study

Developing advanced electrolytes has been considered as a promising approach to stabilize the lithium metal anode via the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that can protect the Li anode to enable long-term cycling stability.
