Abstract 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 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (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. 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.
