Abstract
It is crucial to understand at which potentials electrolyte decomposition reactions start and which chemical species are present in the subsequently formed decomposition films, e.g., solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Herein, a new operando experimental approach is introduced to investigate such reactions by employing hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES). This approach enables the examination of the SEI formed below a thin metal film (e.g., 6 nm nickel) acting as the working electrode in an electrochemical cell with sulfide-based Li6PS5Cl solid electrolyte. Electrolyte reduction reactions already started at 1.75 V (vs Li+/Li) and resulted in considerable Li2S formation, particularly in the voltage range 1.5–1.0 V. A heterogeneous/layered microstructure of the SEI is observed (e.g., preferential Li2O and Li2S deposits near the current collector). The reversibility of side reactions is also observed, as Li2O and Li2S decompose in the 2–4 V potential window, generating oxidized sulfur species, sulfites, and sulfates.

期刊介绍:
ACS Energy Letters is a monthly journal that publishes papers reporting new scientific advances in energy research. The journal focuses on topics that are of interest to scientists working in the fundamental and applied sciences. Rapid publication is a central criterion for acceptance, and the journal is known for its quick publication times, with an average of 4-6 weeks from submission to web publication in As Soon As Publishable format.
ACS Energy Letters is ranked as the number one journal in the Web of Science Electrochemistry category. It also ranks within the top 10 journals for Physical Chemistry, Energy & Fuels, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology.
The journal offers several types of articles, including Letters, Energy Express, Perspectives, Reviews, Editorials, Viewpoints and Energy Focus. Additionally, authors have the option to submit videos that summarize or support the information presented in a Perspective or Review article, which can be highlighted on the journal's website. ACS Energy Letters is abstracted and indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service/SciFinder, EBSCO-summon, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Portico.
