Electrode-electrolyte interphases in HVLMBs play critical roles in dictating their electrochemical performance. However, despite the intensive research on solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) of Li anode, the cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) on high-voltage cathodes remains elusive. Herein, we report the formation and dynamic evolution of CEI on LiNi<sub>0.8</sub>Mn<sub>0.1</sub>Co<sub>0.1</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (NMC811) cathodes in ether-based electrolytes. We reveal that the solvent-derived interphase predominates the initial CEI, which subsequently evolves into a Li fluoride (LiF)-rich CEI during cycling. Through solvent design, the weak-solvation electrolyte with branched ether solvents promotes the formation of a conformal CEI layer featuring the monodispersing LiF nanocrystals (∼8 nm), thereby enabling NMC811 cathodes to sustain up to 2,000 cycles. This work addresses the long-standing questions regarding CEI evolution and provides valuable guidance for the rational electrolyte design for HVLMBs.","PeriodicalId":343,"journal":{"name":"Joule","volume":"133 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":39.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143713656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we propose a variable and intelligent catalyst design strategy based on catalysts’ local chemical environments (LCEs). The competing adsorption between polysulfides and solvents within LCEs governs the interfacial reactions, regulated by the interaction between extrinsic electrolyte effects and intrinsic catalyst structures. Using nickel sulfides as a model system, interpretable machine-learning methods provide intelligent insights into structural tuning. Reversed catalytic efficiency is observed in LCEs of diluted and concentrated polysulfides, and variable catalyst modification guidance is presented for accelerating electron and ion transfer rates, respectively. Li-S batteries based on a Ni<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub> catalyst manifest exceptional performance in a lean electrolyte, achieving an energy density of 433 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup> in pouch cells.
