"stable cycling/ even interfaces overcoming dendrites, capacity fading, safety risks... carbonate-based electrolyte crosslinking agent forms 3D polymer network uniformly depositing inorganic components in both solid/ cathode -electrolyte interphases... reduces activation energy required... reduces interfacial Li-ion migration energy barrier to 48 kJ/mol... retained 80%  capacity after 140 cycles... by precisely regulating additive reactions, desired interfacial structure is formed during initial battery operational stage"
