Formation of the solid electrolyte interface at the graphite electrode results in capacity loss in a lithium ion battery. The makeup of the solid electrolyte interface has been studied in [Vallabha Rao Rikka et al., In situ/exsitu Investigations on the Formation of the MosaicSolid-Electrolyte Interface Layer on Graphite Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries The Journal of Physical Chemistry Part C 122, 50, 28717-28726 (2018)].
