However, challenges caused by severe volume changes and continuous (re-)formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) on Si need to be overcome. The volume changes lead to electrolyte consumption and active lithium loss, decaying the cell performance and cycle life. Herein, the additive 2 sulfobenzoic acid anhydride (2 SBA) is utilized as an SEI-forming electrolyte additive for SiOx-containing anodes. The addition of 2 SBA to a state-of-the-art carbonate-based electrolyte in high-voltage $NMC811||AG+20\%$ SiOx pouch cells leads to improved electrochemical performance, resulting in a doubled cell cycle life. The origin of the enhanced cell performance is mechanistically investigated by developing an advanced experimental technique based on operando attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The operando ATR-FTIR spectroscopy results elucidate the degradation mechanism via anhydride ring-opening reactions after electrochemical reduction on the anode surface. Additionally, ion chromatography conductivity detection mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and quantum chemistry calculations are employed to further elucidate the working mechanisms of the additive and its degradation products.}, cin = {IEK-12}, ddc = {050}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-12-20141217}, pnm = {1221 - Fundamentals and Materials (POF4-122) / Elektrolytformulierungen für Lithiumbatterien der nächsten Generation mit großer Energiedichte und hoher Beständigkeit (13XP5129)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-1221 / G:(BMBF)13XP5129}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:001122818800001}, doi = {10.1002/aenm.202303568}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1019323}, }
