This is intrinsically related to the fact that little knowledge is available on species that may be more favourable.

On this basis, we propose a new insight that regulating the Ca<small><sup>2+</sup></small> solvent sheath to obtain inorganic-rich SEI is a decisive step toward developing reversible Ca metal anodes.

By this method, the derived inorganic fluorides and borates improve reversible Ca plating/stripping. Consequently, the Ca‖Ca symmetric cell exhibits a long-cycling stability over 350 h with low polarization. Finally, the density functional theory confirmed that the fundamental mechanism of working the hybrid inorganic-rich SEI is a low diffusion energy barrier and high electronic insulation that ensure fast Ca<small><sup>2+</sup></small> diffusion through the SEI film and reversible plating/stripping on the Ca metal surface.</p>","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":" 4","pages":" 1941-1951"},"PeriodicalIF":32.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142992367","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}
