Fluorinated Electrolytes for Li-Ion Batteries: The Lithium Difluoro(oxalato)borate Additive for Stabilizing the Solid Electrolyte Interphase.

ABSTRACT: Fluorinated electrolytes based on fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) have been considered as promising alternative electrolytes for high-voltage and high-energy capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the compatibility of the fluorinated electrolytes with graphite negative electrodes is unclear. In this paper, we have systematically investigated, for the first time, the stability of fluorinated electrolytes with graphite negative electrodes, and the result shows that unlike the ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolyte, the FEC-based electrolyte (EC was totally replaced by FEC) is incapable of forming a protective and effective solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that protects the electrolyte from runaway reduction on the graphite surface. The reason is that the lowest unoccupied molecu
