A schematic description of Li‐ion diffusion from the bulk electrolyte to the anode.15 a) The solvated Li ion sheds its solvent molecules and thus has the access to the internal Schottky vacancy of the SEI. b) The Li ion continuously migrates through the bulk of the SEI by relaying itself in Schottky vacancies. c) The free Li ion reaches the anode surface and accepts an electron from the current collector, then deposits as Li metal.
