Popis: Lithium-ion batteries face insufficient capacity at low temperatures. The lithium-ion desolvation process in the vicinity of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer is considered the major problem. Thus, an accurate determination of lithium-ion solvation structures is a prerequisite for understanding this process. Here, using a cryostat combined with an FTIR spectrometer, we found that as the temperature decreased, the number of coordinating carbonates in the first solvation shell of the lithium ion increased with a decreased population of the contact ion pair (CIP). More specifically, we found that two or more carbonate molecules replace a single PF
