Abstract The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), a complex layer that forms over the surface of electrodes exposed to battery electrolyte, has central influence on structural evolution electrode during operation. For lithium metallic anodes, tailoring this SEI is regarded as one most effective avenues for ensuring consistent cycling behavior, and thus practical efficiencies. While fluoride‐rich interphases in particular seem beneficial, how they alter dynamics plating stripping promote...
