Its ability to form a mechanically robust, ion-conducting, and electron-insulating layer critically determines performance, cycle life, and safety. Li or Na alkyl carbonates (LiAC and NaAC, respectively) are lead SEI components in state-of-the-art carbonate based electrolytes, and our fundamental understanding of their charge transport and mechanical properties may hold the key to designing electrolytes forming an improved SEI. We synthesized a homologous series of LiACs and NaACs from methyl to octyl analogues and characterized them with respect to structure, ionic conductivity, and stiffness. The compounds assume layered structures except for the lithium methyl carbonate. Room-temperature conductivities were found to be ∼10–9 S cm–1 for lithium methyl carbonate, <10–12 S cm–1 for the other LiACs, and <10–12 S cm–1 for the NaACs with ion transport mostly attributed to grain boundaries. While LiACs show stiffnesses of ∼1 GPa, NaACs become significantly softer with increasing chain lengths. These findings will help to more precisely interpret the complex results from charge transport and mechanical characterization of real SEIs and can give a rationale for influencing the SEI’s mechanical properties via the electrolyte."}],"oa_version":"None","publication":"Chemistry of Materials","publication_status":"published","issue":"10","extern":"1","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:12:46Z","volume":30,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0897-4756"],"eissn":["1520-5002"]},"intvolume":"        30"}
