Equal resistance single and bilayer films decouple role of solid electrolyte interphase from lithium morphology in batteries

<p>Equal resistance single and bilayer films establish that thin film/electrolyte interfaces are more important for battery performance compared to copper/thin film interfaces due to their role in inorganic-rich solid electrolyte interphase formation.</p>.
