Batteries are the most widely used energy storage devices, and lithium‐ion battery is heavily commercialized type in industry. However, current rapid development of society requires a major advancement materials to achieve high capacity, long life cycle, low cost, reliable safety. Therefore, many new efficient systems being developed explored, their working mechanisms must be clearly understood before industrial application. In recent years, density functional theory (DFT) has been employed...
Abstract Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have attracted remarkable attention due to their high theoretical capacity of 1675 mAh g −1 , rich resources, inexpensiveness, and environmental friendliness. However, the practical application Li–S battery is hindered by shuttling soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) slow redox reactions.

Abstract High‐energy lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) can be realized with the use of nickel‐rich materials, however, their reversible operation requires long‐term cathode‐electrolyte interfacial (CEI) stability, especially for high‐temperature applications, but how CEIs evolves during is still a mystery.
