Abstract High‐voltage Li ion batteries are compromised by lower cycle life due to enhanced degradation of cathode material, for example LiNi 0.5 Co 0.2 Mn 0.3 O 2 (NCM523). Crucial part is the initiated electrode crosstalk, that transition metal (TM) dissolution from and subsequent deposition on anode, as it forces formation high surface area lithium, capacity losses risk dendrite penetration, finally leading an abrupt end‐of‐life (=rollover failure). Hence, suppression this failure cascade...
The further increase of practically usable specific energies in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) can be realized by minimizing the capacity losses, e.g., via electrolyte additives.
