"Regulating the reduction reaction pathways via manipulating the solvat" by Wenchao Zhang, Fangli Zhang et al.
Transforming CO2 into valuable chemicals is an inevitable trend in our current society. Among the viable end-uses of CO2, fixing CO2 as carbon or carbonates via Li-CO2 chemistry could be an efficient approach, and promising achievements have been obtained in catalyst design in the past. Even so, the critical role of anions/solvents in the formation of a robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on cathodes and the solvation structure have never been investigated. Herein, lithium bis(triflu...
