The research plan we are proposing will answer important, fundamental questions about the design principle for not only battery components but also interfacial engineering for LIBs. First, we will investigate nonflammable electrolytes including ionic liquids, aqueous electrolytes and solid electrolytes to achieve high energy density and safety as well. Second, interfacial reactions will be explored in both anode and cathode parts and the strategies for interfacial engineering will be suggested based on the understanding of fundamental science. Finally, synchrotron X-ray techniques will be used to understand how local/bulk structures in electrolytes or electrodes as a function of potential, therefore this operando data will be correlated with electrochemical characterization, thus enabling the rational design of longer-lasting battery materials with high energy densities.
