An unwanted guest in the electrochemical oxidation of high-voltage Li-ion battery electrolytes: the life of highly reactive protons
Electrochemical oxidation of Li-ion electrolytes generates highly reactive protons that trigger cascading degradation of solvents, salts, and cathodes, revealing a critical origin of battery performance loss.
