abstract = {Traditional solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) forming
additives of vinylene carbonate (VC), fluoroethylene
carbonate (FEC) and ethylene sulfite (ES) are studied with
respect to their impact on the formation and growth of the
cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer. T-half cells are
assembled and undergo three different electrochemical
investigation plans: after formation (0.1C, 5 cycles) and
long term cycling (0.1C, 5 constant current cycles + 1C,
100/150 constant current/voltage cycles), scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and gas chromatography-mass
spectrometry (GC-MS) are combined to investigate morphology,
CEI composition, CEI thickness and aging products for cells
with different electrolyte systems. The obtained results
reveal a significant influence of these additives on the CEI
composition and CEI growth. With the help of SEM, it is
found that large areas of electrolyte decomposition products
are formed at the aged electrode surfaces (=after cycling),
with the exception when 2 $vol\%$ of FEC is added into the
reference electrolyte. From XPS measurements, CEI
thicknesses are calculated. The reference electrolyte with 2
$vol\%$ of FEC shows the thinnest layer after long time
aging (0.8 ± 0.2 nm). For the addition of 2 $vol\%$ of VC,
an incremental growth of the CEI thickness occurs from the
100th to 150th cycle (from 1.0 ± 0.1 nm to 2.9 ± 0.4 nm).
By correlating the CEI thickness values with the
electrochemical performance, it can be observed that for
lithium metal based half cells, the existence of a thinner
CEI layer corresponds to a better cycling behavior, with 2
$vol\%$ of FEC showing the highest discharge capacity of
114.4 ± 0.2 mAh/g after 150 cycles at 1C. GC-MS shows that
both VC and FEC help to prevent fast electrolyte aging.},
