Fundamental Understanding of Oxidative Stability in Fluorinated Asymmetric Ethers for Li Batteries
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.To improve Li‐metal battery electrolytes, we analyze fluorinated 1‐ethoxy‐2‐methoxyethane (FxEME) oxidative stability via density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD). Fluorination strengthens ethoxy C–H bonds and alters solvent orientation at the cathode, weakening interfacial interactions.

Solvent Hydrogen Bonding Determines Adsorption Geometry of Trimesic Acid on Cu
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Water reorients adsorbate molecules. Combined tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy, density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations reveal the adsorption geometry of trimesic acid on Cu. Subtle adsorbate–substrate–solvent energy differences due to hydrogen bonding dictate molecular orientation at solid/liquid and solid/gas interfaces, providing

Atomic‐Scale Tracing of Lithium Trapped in Copper Current Collectors
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Does lithium diffuse into the copper current collector during cycling in lithium‐metal batteries? This study unveils, at the atomic scale, that lithium is trapped at grain boundaries and junctions, already after only one plating/stripping cycle. After three and more cycles, the copper foil surface becomes nanocrystalline and oxidized.
