a Work of separation for LiF|LixSi, Li2O|LixSi, and Li2CO3|LixSi interfaces. bd Electron localized function and Eint between the LixSi (Li15Si4, Li12Si7, and LiSi) alloys and major SEI components (LiF, Li2O and Li2CO3) with the scale bar (from 0.0 to 1.0) shown on the left. b LiF. c Li2O. d Li2CO3. e The normalized concentration profile of interstitial Li+ and mobile electron Li2O within Li2O/LiF space charge region. The inserted scheme shows the configuration of the Li2O/LiF space charge model. f The total ionic conductivity of the Li2O/LiF composite SEI as a function of the volume fraction of LiF when the grain size of Li2O is equal to 15 nm and 1 nm, respectively.
