Chemical treatment for preparing metal electrodes

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to chemical treatments for preparing metal electrodes, including ex-situ chemical treatments for preparing metal electrodes and to ex-situ chemically treated metal electrodes, which can be used in electrochemical cells. The present disclosure also relates to methods for forming a metal fluoride-based layer (e.g. a SEI fluoride layer) on a metal or an electrode thereof comprising an ex-situ chemical treatment of the metal or electrode thereof, and to electrochemical cells comprising the ex-situ chemically treated metal electrodes.
