Interfacial Speciation Determines Interfacial Chemistry: X-ray-Induced Lithium Fluoride Formation from Water-in-salt Electrolytes on Solid Surfaces
Abstract
Using synchrotron X-rays the LiTFSI/H2O electrolyte interfacial decomposition pathways in the „water-in-salt“ and „salt-in-water“ regimes are investigated. The resultant photoelectron-induced reduction was revealed to be concentration-dependent interfacial chemistry that only occurs among closely contact ion-pairs, which constitutes the rationale behind the „water-in-salt“ concept.
