However, especially with an electrode approaching the cathodic (reductive) stability, cycling stability is insufficient. While stability critically relies on a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), the mechanism behind the cathodic stability limit remains unclear. Here, we reveal two distinct reduction potentials for the chemical environments of ‘free’ and ‘bound’ water and that both contribute to SEI formation. Free-water is reduced ~1V above bound water in a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and responsible for SEI formation via reactive intermediates of the HER; concurrent LiTFSI precipitation/dissolution establishes a dynamic interface. The free-water population emerges, therefore, as the handle to extend the cathodic limit of aqueous electrolytes and the battery cycling stability."}],"department":[{"_id":"StFr"}],"issue":"37","date_published":"2020-09-07T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","date_updated":"2023-09-05T15:47:50Z","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"article_processing_charge":"No","month":"09","day":"07","type":"journal_article","file":[{"checksum":"7dd0a56f6bd5de08ea75b1ec388c91bc","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"dernst","access_level":"open_access","file_name":"2020_AngChemieDE_Bouchal.pdf","date_updated":"2020-09-17T08:59:43Z","success":1,"file_id":"8401","date_created":"2020-09-17T08:59:43Z","file_size":1904552}],"ddc":["540","541"],"file_date_updated":"2020-09-17T08:59:43Z","year":"2020","volume":132,"intvolume":"       132","_id":"8057","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"ama":"Bouchal R, Li Z, Bongu C, et al.
