About this Research Topic
How to best construct a chemically and electrochemically stable solid-electrolyte interface lies in adjusting the surface composition and structure of the cathode materials. Many researchers have offered ex-situ or in-situ methods as possible solutions, however the underlying interfacial electrochemistry needs to be better understood.
In this Research Topic, we aim to collect contributions related to the interfacial electrochemistry of cathode materials for Li/Na ion battery, mainly the surface modification of cathode materials, together with detailed characterizations of surface composition, morphology, and structural transformation of cathode materials during the cycle life.
We welcome Original Research, Review, and Mini-Review articles. Areas to be covered in this Research Topic may include, but are not limited to:
• Novel strategies on surface modifications of the cathode materials for Li/Na- ion battery
• New electrolyte solvents, additives, and salts for high voltage cathode materials
• Interfacial electrochemistry between cathode materials and electrolytes (Experimental and theoretical)
• In-situ characterization of interfacial parasitic reactions
Keywords: cathode materials, surface modification, interfacial parasitic reaction, energy storage, electrolyte
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
