  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Electrolytes for Lithium and Lithium-Ion Batteries

Part of the book series: Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry ((MAOE,volume 58))

Abstract

The successful application of lithium-ion batteries depends to a great extent on the existence of interphases at anodes. In this chapter, the role and the significance of interphases in lithium-ion batteries are introduced firstly, then the theories proposed before 2005 are outlined, and the latest research progresses are reviewed at last, mainly focused on the formation processes, chemistries, and properties of the interphases on graphite.
