The decomposition of state-of-the-art lithium ion battery (LIB) electrolytes leads to a highly complex mixture during battery cell operation. Furthermore, thermal strain by e.g., fast charging can initiate the degradation and generate various compounds.
Electrolyte decomposition limits the lifetime of commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and slows the adoption of next-generation energy storage technologies. A fundamental understanding of electr...
To address the rapidly growing demand for energy storage and power sources, large quantities of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been manufactured, leading to severe shortages of lithium and cobalt resources. Retired lithium-ion batteries are rich in metal, which easily causes environmental hazards and resource scarcity problems.

Along with the key degradation factor, the impacts of these factors on lithium-ion batteries including capacity fade, reduction in energy density, increase in internal resistance, and reduction in overall efficiency have also been highlighted throughout the paper.
Cycling degradation in lithium-ion batteries refers to the progressive deterioration in performance that occurs as the battery undergoes repeated charge and discharge cycles during its operational life . With each cycle, various physical and chemical processes contribute to the gradual degradation of the battery components .
