Electrolyte decompositon

Electrolyte Decomposition refers to the process in which solvents, lithium salts, or additives in battery electrolytes undergo chemical or electrochemical decomposition reactions under specific conditions (such as high voltage, high temperature, or electrode reactions), resulting in the formation of gases, solid by-products, or new electrolyte species. This phenomenon is usually irreversible and can affect the performance, safety, and lifespan of the battery.
