Carbon dioxide has been proposed as an additive to improve the performance of lithium batteries [60]. Aurbach et al. [61] studied the film formed on lithium in electrolytes saturated with C02, and using in situ FTIR found that Li2C03 is a major surface species. This means that the formation of a stable Li2C03 film on the lithium surface may improve cyclability [62], Osaka and co-workers [63] also studied the dependence of the lithium efficiency on the plating substrate in LiC104-PC. The addition of C02 resulted in an increase in the efficiency when the substrate was Ni or Ti, but no effect was observed with Ag or Cu substrates.

The first two models are irrelevant to lithium-battery systems since the PEIs are not thermodynamically stable with respect to lithium. Perchlorate (and other anions but not halides) were found to be reduced to LiCl [15, 16, 22-27]. It is commonly accepted that in lithium batteries the anode is covered by SEI which consists of thermodynamically stable anions (such as 02, S2-, halides). Recently, Aurbach and Za-ban [25] suggested an SEI which consists of five different consecutive layers. They represented this model by a series of five...

The following reactions proposed by Aurbach and co-workers are examples of the reductive decomposition reactions of anions with lithium [199, 169] ...
