It combines the heavy alkali cation Rb+ with the flexible, weakly coordinating, highly fluorinated TFSI^- anion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Healing Electrostatic Shield (SHES) Mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e: In lithium-metal battery systems, local high electric fields at the tips of metallic lithium protuberances trigger non-uniform Li+ electrodeposition, leading to dendrite formation. The reduction potential of Rb+ (~ -2.93 V vs. SHE) is slightly lower than that of Li+ (~ -3.04 V. During high-rate charging, Rb+ ions accumulate at the sharp tips of growing Li dendrites without being reduced into rubidium metal. This forms a localized positively charged electrostatic shield that repels incoming Li+ ions toward flatter regions of the anode, driving smooth, dendrite-free lithium plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) Modification \u0026amp; Polysulfide Interaction\u003c\/strong\u003e: (1) \u003cem\u003eF-Rich \u0026amp; Inorganic Interphases\u003c\/em\u003e: The TFSI- anion decomposes at low potentials to build an inorganic-rich interphase (containing LiF, Li2S, and Li3N species), suppressing continuous solvent breakdown.
