The solid electrolyte interphase in rechargeable Li-ion batteries, its dynamics and, significantly, its nanoscale structure and composition, hold clues to high-performing and safe energy storage.

To gain a deep understanding of how the liquid-like amorphous interphase activates and roughens the crystalline Cu surface, we trace the dynamic evolution of ESLIs at the atomic level. As shown in Fig ...

Interphase is the period between cell divisions. During this time, chromosomes replicate—each DNA strand unzips into two strands while free-floating bases attach to the unzipped strands. The ...
