Some important design principles for electrode materials are considered to be able to efficiently improve the battery performance. Host chemistry strongly depends on the composition and structure of the electrode materials, thus influencing the corresponding chemical reactions.
One technical challenge is a lack of reliable tools to characterize the behavior of electrodes under realistic and complex chemical conditions. The operation of battery electrodes is extremely sensitive to the environment, and a trace of oxygen or moisture could cause a number of undesired side reactions.
Clearly, the electrochemical properties of these electrode materials (e.g., voltage, capacity, rate performance, cycling stability, etc.) are strongly dependent on the correlation between the host chemistry and structure, the ion diffusion mechanisms, and phase transformations.23
In addition, coating active electrode materials with a conductive layer or embedding the active electrode materials in a conductive matrix can also efficiently improve the electron conductivity of the whole electrode. The structural stability of electrode materials includes two main aspects, the crystal structure and the reaction interface.
While the electrolyte pretreated at 60 °C did not decompose according to our GC-MS analysis, the electrolyte pretreated at 100 °C did (Figures S7 and S8). The color of the electrolyte turned into a vibrant red, and a considerable portion of the 50 mL sample evaporated (Figure S9), despite closing the plastic vessels firmly.
