a–c SAXS patterns of three carbon negative electrodes before and after 10 cycles. The cycles were conducted at 25 °C using specific current of 50 mA g−1. All three carbon negative electrodes reached the desodiation state. The arrows represent the direction of the peak’s movement. 3D TOF-SIMS visual maps for negative secondary ion mode of d AC, e CMS-800, and f CMS-1300 negative electrodes after 10 cycles. g–i Operando characterization of SEI formation by EQCM. The CV curves (blue) and the mass change-charge profiles (red) of the SEI formation process, i.e., from A to C, for g AC, h CMS-800, and i CMS-1300 negative electrodes. The cycling process was performed at 25 °C using specific current of 50 mA g−1. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
