Revisiting Dipole-Induced Fluorinated-Anion Decomposition Reaction for Promoting a LiF-Rich Interphase in Lithium-Metal Batteries by Liu Wang, Jiahui Guo, Qi Qi, Xiaotong Li, Yuanmeng Ge, Haoyi Li, Yunfeng Chao, Jiang Du, Xinwei Cui

“…Highlights Single-layer graphdiyne on MXene (sGDY@MXene) heterostructure was fabricated and integrated into polypropylene separators, directing a LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase and long-term stability of lithium-metal anode. Instead of direct electron transfer from surface polar groups to fluorinated anions, the adsorbed Li ions on sGDY@MXene act as dynamic bridges collaboratively connecting the electron-donating heterostructure to the anion and its derivatives, facilitating interface charge transfer. …”
