Abstract
We present a combined simulation method of single-component artificial force induced reaction (SC-AFIR) and effective screening medium combined with the reference interaction site model (ESM-RISM), termed SC-AFIR+ESM-RISM. SC-AFIR automatically and systematically explores the chemical reaction pathway, and ESM-RISM directly simulates the precise electronic structure at the solid-liquid interface. Hence, SC-AFIR+ESM-RISM enables us to explore reliable reaction pathways at the solid-liquid interface. We applied it to explore the dissociation pathway of an H2O molecule at the Cu(111)/water interface. The reaction path networks of the whole reaction and the minimum energy paths from H2O to H2 + O depend on the interfacial environment. The qualitative difference in the energy diagrams and the resulting change in the kinematically favored dissociation pathway upon changing the solvation environments are discussed. We believe that SC-AFIR+ESM-RISM will be a powerful tool to reveal the details of chemical reactions in surface catalysis and electrochemistry.

Abstract
The focus of mainstream lithium-ion battery (LIB) research is on increasing the battery’s capacity and performance; however, more effort should be invested in LIB safety for widespread use. One aspect of major concern for LIB cells is the gas generation phenomenon. Following conventional battery engineering practices with electrolyte additives, we examined the potential usage of electrolyte additives to address this specific issue and found a feasible candidate in divinyl sulfone (DVSF). We manufactured four identical battery cells and employed an electrolyte mixture with four different DVSF concentrations (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%). By measuring the generated gas volume from each battery cell, we demonstrated the potential of DVSF additives as an effective approach for reducing the gas generation in LIB cells. We found that a DVSF concentration of only 1% was necessary to reduce the gas generation by approximately 50% while simultaneously experiencing a negligible impact on the cycle life. To better understand this effect on a molecular level, we examined possible electrochemical reactions through ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) based on the density functional theory (DFT). From the electrolyte mixture’s exposure to either an electrochemically reductive or an oxidative environment, we determined the reaction pathways for the generation of CO2 gas and the mechanism by which DVSF additives effectively blocked the gas’s generation. The key reaction was merging DVSF with cyclic carbonates, such as FEC. Therefore, we concluded that DVSF additives could offer a relatively simplistic and effective approach for controlling the gas generation in lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Since the advent of the Li ion batteries (LIBs), the energy density has been tripled, mainly attributed to the increase of the electrode capacities. Now, the capacity of transition metal oxide cathodes is approaching the limit due to the stability limitation of the electrolytes. To further promote the energy density of LIBs, the most promising strategies are to enhance the cut-off voltage of the prevailing cathodes or explore novel high-capacity and high-voltage cathode materials, and also replacing the graphite anode with Si/Si-C or Li metal. However, the commercial ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolytes with relatively low anodic stability of ∼4.3 V vs. Li+/Li cannot sustain high-voltage cathodes. The bottleneck restricting the electrochemical performance in Li batteries has veered towards new electrolyte compositions catering for aggressive next-generation cathodes and Si/Si-C or Li metal anodes, since the oxidation-resistance of the electrolytes and the in situ formed cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers at the high-voltage cathodes and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers on anodes critically control the electrochemical performance of these high-voltage Li batteries. In this review, we present a comprehensive and in-depth overview on the recent advances, fundamental mechanisms, scientific challenges, and design strategies for the novel high-voltage electrolyte systems, especially focused on stability issues of the electrolytes, the compatibility and interactions between the electrolytes and the electrodes, and reaction mechanisms. Finally, novel insights, promising directions and potential solutions for high voltage electrolytes associated with effective SEI/CEI layers are proposed to motivate revolutionary next-generation high-voltage Li battery chemistries.

Abstract
Insertion compounds have been dominating the cathodes in commercial lithium-ion batteries. In contrast to layered oxides and polyanion compounds, the development of spinel-structured cathodes is a little behind. Owing to a series of advantageous properties, such as high operating voltage (≈4.7 V), high capacity (≈135 mAh g-1 ), low environmental impact, and low fabrication cost, the high-voltage spinel LiNi0.5 Mn1.5 O4 represents a high-power cathode for advancing high-energy-density Li+ -ion batteries. However, the wide application and commercialization of this cathode are hampered by its poor cycling performance. Recent progress in both the fundamental understanding of the degradation mechanism and the exploration of strategies to enhance the cycling stability of high-voltage spinel cathodes have drawn continuous attention toward this promising insertion cathode. In this review article, the structure-property correlations and the failure mode of high-voltage spinel cathodes are first discussed. Then, the recent advances in mitigating the cycling stability issue of high-voltage spinel cathodes are summarized, including the various approaches of structural design, doping, surface coating, and electrolyte modification. Finally, future perspectives and research directions are put forward, aiming at providing insightful information for the development of practical high-voltage spinel cathodes.

Abstract
Exploring reliable electrolytes for aluminum ion batteries requires an in-depth understanding of the behavior of aluminum ions in ethereal-organic solvents. Electrolytes comprised of aluminum trifluoromethanesulfonate (Al-triflate) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) were investigated computationally and experimentally. Optimized geometries, redox potentials, and vibrational frequencies of species likely to be present in the electrolyte were calculated by density functional theory and then measured spectroscopically and electrochemically. Aluminum appears to be electrochemically active in THF with a reduction onset near 0 V versus Al/Al3+. Spectroscopic measurements reveal explicit evidence for the presence of two concentration-dependent ionic environments for the triflate anions, namely, outer-shell ligands and Al-bound triflates. Additionally, ionic conductivities of ∼2.5 mS/cm were measured for these electrolytes ∼0.8M.

Abstract
Lithium metal anodes suffer from a short cycle life, and the parasitic reactions of lithium with electrolytes are widely observed. Common sense is to avoid such reactions. Herein, we head in the opposite direction by using an oxidizing co-solvent, ethyl methyl sulfone, in the electrolyte, which addresses the 'dendrite' issue entirely, resulting in a dense and macroscopically smooth surface morphology of the plated lithium. However, a dendrite-free lithium metal anode does not necessarily exhibit a high coulombic efficiency.

Abstract
High-voltage lithium-ion batteries (HVLIBs) are considered as promising devices of energy storage for electric vehicle, hybrid electric vehicle, and other high-power equipment. HVLIBs require their own platform voltages to be higher than 4.5 V on charge. Lithium nickel manganese spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) cathode is the most promising candidate among the 5 V cathode materials for HVLIBs due to its flat plateau at 4.7 V. However, the degradation of cyclic performance is very serious when LNMO cathode operates over 4.2 V. In this review, we summarize some methods for enhancing the cycling stability of LNMO cathodes in lithium-ion batteries, including doping, cathode surface coating, electrolyte modifying, and other methods. We also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different methods.

Abstract
The electrochemical cycling performance of vanadium oxide nanotubes (VOx-NTs) for Mg-ion insertion/extraction was investigated in acetonitrile (AN) and tetramethylsilane (TMS)-ethyl acetate (EA) electrolytes with Mg(ClO4)2 salt. When cycled in TMS-EA solution, the VOx-NT exhibited a higher capacity retention than when cycled in AN solution. The significant degradation of capacity in AN solution resulted from increased charge-transfer resistance caused by the reaction products of the electrolyte during cycling. Mixed TMS-EA solvent systems can increase the cell performance and stability of Mg-electrolytes owing to the higher stability of TMS toward oxidation and the strong Mg-coordination ability of EA. These results indicate that the interfacial stability of the electrolyte during the charging process plays a crucial role in determining the capacity retention of VOx-NT for Mg insertion/extraction.

Abstract
This paper presents the computational assessment of the electrochemical stability of a series of alkyl methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids for their use as lithium battery electrolytes. The oxidation and reduction potentials of the constituent cation and anion of each ionic liquid with respect to a Li(+)/Li reference electrode were calculated using density functional theory following the method of thermodynamic cycles, and the electrochemical stability windows (ESW)s of these ionic liquids were obtained. The effect of varying the length of alkyl side chains of the methylimidazolium-based cations on the redox potentials and ESWs was investigated. The results show that the limits of the ESWs of these methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids are defined by the oxidation potential of the anions and the reduction potential of alkyl-methylimidazolium cations. Moreover, ionic liquids with [PF6](-) anion have a wider ESW. In addition to characterizing structure-function relationships, the accuracy of the computational approach was assessed through comparisons of the data against experimental measurements of ESWs. The potentials calculated by the thermodynamic cycle method are in good agreement with the experimental data while the HOMO/LUMO method overestimates the redox potentials. This work demonstrates that these approaches can provide guidance in selecting ionic liquid electrolytes when designing high-voltage rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
High throughput screening of solvents and additives with potential applications in lithium batteries is reported. The initial test set is limited to carbonate and phosphate-based compounds and focused on their electrochemical properties. Solvent stability towards first and second reduction and oxidation is reported from density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed on isolated solvents surrounded by implicit solvent. The reorganization energy is estimated from the difference between vertical and adiabatic redox energies and found to be especially important for the accurate prediction of reduction stability. A majority of tested compounds had the second reduction potential higher than the first reduction potential indicating that the second reduction reaction might play an important role in the passivation layer formation. Similarly, the second oxidation potential was smaller for a significant subset of tested molecules than the first oxidation potential. A number of potential sources of errors introduced during screening of the electrolyte electrochemical properties were examined. The formation of lithium fluoride during reduction of semifluorinated solvents such as fluoroethylene carbonate and the H-transfer during oxidation of solvents were found to shift the electrochemical potential by 1.5-2 V and could shrink the electrochemical stability window by as much as 3.5 V when such reactions are included in the screening procedure. The initial oxidation reaction of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate at the surface of the completely de-lithiated LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 high voltage spinel cathode was examined using DFT. Depending on the molecular orientation at the cathode surface, a carbonate molecule either exhibited deprotonation or was found bound to the transition metal via its carbonyl oxygen.

Abstract
In seeking new sulfone-based electrolytes to meet the demand of 5 V lithium-ion batteries, we have combined the theoretical quantum chemistry calculation and electrochemical characterization to explore several sulfone/cosolvent systems. Tetramethylene sulfone (TMS), dimethyl sulfite (DMS), and diethyl sulfite (DES) were used as solvents, and three kinds of lithium salts including LiBOB, LiTFSI, and LiPF6 were added into TMS/DMS [1:1, (v)] and TMS/DES [1:1, (v)] to form high-voltage electrolyte composites, respectively. All of these electrolytes display wide electrochemical windows of more than 5.4 V, with the high electrolyte conductivities being more than 3 mS/cm at room temperature. It is indicated that to achieve the best ionic conductivity in TMS/DMS cosolvent, the optimized concentrations of lithium salts LiBOB, LiTFSI, and LiPF6 were 0.8, 1, and 1 M, respectively. Furthermore, the vibrational changes of the molecular functional groups in the cosolvents were evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It is found that lithium salts show strong interaction with the main functional sulfone groups and sulfonic acid ester group, thus playing a vital role in the enhancement of the ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability of the solvent system. These sulfone-based solvents with high electrochemical stability are expected to become a new generation of a high-voltage organic electrolytic liquid system for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
New electrolytes with large electrochemical windows are needed to meet the challenge for high-voltage Li-ion batteries. Sulfone as an electrolyte solvent boasts of high oxidation potentials. Here we examine the effect of multiple functionalization on sulfone's oxidation potential. We compute oxidation potentials for a series of sulfone-based molecules functionalized with fluorine, cyano, ester, and carbonate groups by using a quantum chemistry method within a continuum solvation model. We find that multifunctionalization is a key to achieving high oxidation potentials. This can be realized through either a fluorether group on a sulfone molecule or sulfonyl fluoride with a cyano or ester group.
