High-energy-density lithium-ion batteries employing high voltage LiCoO2 encounter challenges regarding diminished reversibility and structural issues from uncontrolled electrolyte decomposition at elevated voltage. Ensuring oxidation stability in the electrolyte is imperative for optimal high voltage operation, necessitating a low gas generation solvent within the LiCoO2. PF6 and PF5 molecules can also yield undesirable compounds like HF, occurring interfacial layer degradation. In this study, effective electrolytes and additives were introduced. By using density functional theory calculations, it was confirmed that ethyl butyrate electrolyte successfully suppressed gas generation. Moreover, 1,3,6-hexanetricarbonitrile additive stabilized the PF5 molecule, and tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite additive efficiently scavenged the HF molecule. Our study demonstrates the enhanced performance, providing valuable insights for future high-energy-density lithium-ion battery advancements. |
