a EIS of the symmetric cells using graphite anodes retrieved from the graphite||NCM811 cells after 1000 cycles in different electrolytes. b The resistance obtained by fitting with the equivalent circuit shown in Supplementary Fig. 27. c Calculated reduction potentials (vs. Li+/Li) and reduced complexes of LiFSI, TTMS, and TM with SMD solvation model. Inset is the simulated reduction products of the 1.9 M LiFSI/TTMS–TM electrolyte on the lithiated graphite anode. d Fitted Li+ diffusion coefficients at room temperature and diffusion energy barriers of the main reduction products (Li2SO3, LiF, and Li2O) in 1.9 M LiFSI/TTMS–TM electrolyte. e Simulated possible Li+ diffusion pathways in bulk Li2SO3 by the BVEL method.
