The polymer was analyzed using Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HAXPES), Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical testing. HAXPES enabled us to address the full depth-dependent layer chemistry and allowed us to probe the interface of the solid-electrolyte interphase and the silicon based electrode. The performance was investigated by coin-cell lithium ion battery testing and provides an interesting view into the influence of incorporating polymers in the SEI. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/21402 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
