Figure 5

Schematic illustration of the proposed (a) mosaic structure [53], (b) multilayered structure [70] of the SEI. (c) Schematic open-circuit energy diagram of battery electrolyte. ΦA and ΦC are the anode and cathode work functions. Eg is the window of the electrolyte for thermodynamic stability. A µA > LUMO and/or a µC < HOMO requires a kinetic stability for the formation of an SEI layer [71].
