Compared to usual solvation structures, this study utilizes the multifunctional groups of difluoro(oxalate)borate anion (ODFB^-), which can connect with Li⁺. By tailoring the concentration, the anion serves as a bridge between different solvated structures. The electrolyte is investigated through in situ techniques and simulations to draw correlations between different solvation structures and reaction pathways. The proposed design demonstrates remarkable high-temperature performance on both the anode and cathode sides, enabling stable cycling of LCO||graphite (0.5 Ah, 1.0 C) pouchAdvanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)Multipoint Anionic Bridge: Asymmetric Solvation Structure Improves the Stability of Lithium-Ion Batteries.PMC116722862207530552061135110EXC 2089/1 - 3907762602020Z025217732792021Z121EXC 2089/1 ‐ 390776260LD22E020003Xia YXiong JXie WWu MDong XLiang YLiao CZheng TMuller-Buschbaum PCheng YJXu TXu ZYu YfalseMultipoint Anionic Bridge: Asymmetric Solvation Structure Improves the Stability of Lithium-Ion Batteries.In this study, a novel concept of multipoint anionic bridge (MAB) is proposed and proved, which utilizes anions with different sites to connect with the asymmetric solvation structure (ASS).
