Separator-Wetted, Acid- and Water-Scavenged Electrolyte with Optimized Li-Ion Solvation to Form Dual Efficient Electrode Electrolyte Interphases via Hexa-Functional Additive.

ABSTRACT: The performance of lithium metal batteries (LMBs) is determined by many factors from the bulk electrolyte to the electrode-electrolyte interphases, which are crucially affected by electrolyte additives. Herein, the authors develop the heptafluorobutyrylimidazole (HFBMZ) as a hexa-functional additive to inhibit the dendrite growth on the surface of lithium (Li) anode, and then improve the cycling performance and rate capabilities of Li||LiNi_0.6 Co_0.2 Mn_0.2 O₂ (NCM622). The HFBMZ can remove the trace H₂ O and HF from the electrolyte, reducing the by-products on the surface of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and inhibiting the dissolution of metal ions from NCM622. Also, the HFBMZ can enhance the wettability of the separator to promote
