The Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), either naturally formed or artificially designed, plays a critical role in the stability and durability of Li-ion batteries (LIBs). It is even more important for high energy density electrodes such as Li metal anodes, which subjected to large volumetric interfacial variations due deposition/stripping cycles during operation. Currently, there lack understanding SEI/Li interfaces their mechanical electrochemical properties. In this paper, we present an...
