Abstract:
Articles and methods for protection of electrodes in electrochemical cells, including protective material precursor layers for use in electrode protective structures, are provided. Certain embodiments relate to electrode protective structures that comprise protective material precursor layers that, upon direct contact with a liquid electrolyte, cause a reaction product to form between the material of the precursor layer and a component of the electrolyte.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n in an electrochemical cell comprising:\n an electrode comprising an electroactive material comprising lithium; \n an electrolyte; and \n a protective structure positioned between the electroactive material and the electrolyte, wherein the protective structure comprises a catalyst configured to catalyze a polymerization reaction of a component of the electrolyte, \n performing the steps of: catalyzing the polymerization reaction of the component of the electrolyte by exposing the component of the electrolyte to the catalyst, wherein the reaction generates a polymer that inhibits or reduces interaction of the electrolyte with the electroactive material.
