While it is widely recognized that the operating temperature significantly affects the energy density and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries, the consequence of electrode-electrolyte interphase chemistry to sudden environmental temperature changes remains inadequately understood. Here, we systematically investigate the effects of a temperature pulse (T pulse) on the electrochemical performance of LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ (NMC811) pouch full cells. By utilizing advanced characterization tools, such as time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry, we reveal that the T pulse can lead to an irreversible degradation of cathode-electrolyte interphase chemistry and architecture. Despite negligible immediate impacts on the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) on graphite anode, aggregated cathode-to-anode chemical crossover gradually degrades the SEI by catalyzing electrolyte reduction decomposition and inducing metallic dead Li formation because of insufficient cathode passivation after the T pulse. Consequently, pouch cells subjected to the T pulse show an inferior cycle stability to those free of the T pulse. Furthermore, this work unveils the effects of sudden temperature changes on the interphase chemistry and cell performance, emphasizing the importance of a proper temperature management in assessing performance.
