Abstract Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) dominate the fields of power batteries and energy storage due to their high energy density and excellent cycling performance, with widespread applications in portable electronic devices, electric transportation, and large-scale energy storage systems. However, despite efforts to achieve higher energy densities and improved safety performance, LIBs still face critical challenges, including interface instability, low initialcoulombic efficiency, rapid capacity fading, and poor thermal safety performance. Interface regulation plays a decisive role in addressing these issues and has thus become a hotspot in LIB research. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest advances in interface regulation strategies and stability in LIBs. Firstly, the mechanisms of action and material selection of binders and conductive agents in constructing stable electrode structures and enhancing electron transport efficiency are explored, along with their role in regulating the fine interface structure of the electrode. Next, the paper systematically analyzes the key impacts of electrolytes and additives in regulating the stability of the electrode/electrolyte interface, suppressing side reactions, and optimizing ion transport. Furthermore, starting from the regulation of the electrode electric double layer (EDL), the design of heterogeneous structures of electrode materials and surface coating modification, coupled with the synergistic optimization of electrolyte systems, this paper systematically explores interface construction strategies. Additionally, the optimization directions of separator materials in terms of thermal stability, mechanical properties, and electrochemical compatibility are summarized. Finally, the paper identifies the major bottlenecks and challenges currently faced in the field, while providing an outlook on the future trends in material design and interface engineering.
