This study reveals In redox reactions at the interface between a halide solid-electrolyte and a Li-In alloy anode. The migration of the in situ generated In3+ leads to the formation, growth, and eventual stabilization of a Li3-xInxYCl6 anode-electrolyte interphase over cycling. Such dynamic evolution enables the excellent performance of high-energy...
