Abstract
High-voltage lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NCM811) cathode materials present a promising avenue for increasing energy density. However, achieving stable operation at elevated voltages is hindered by chemical instability in ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolytes, leading to parasitic interfacial reactions. Herein, we introduce 2-hydroxy-5-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl) pyridine (HNTFP) as a multifunctional electrolyte additive to mitigate EC dehydrogenation and minimize interfacial side reactions. Leveraging the unique functional groups of HNTFP (NO2, CF3, and CO), we demonstrate the formation of a robust hybrid/inorganic cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) on high-voltage cathodes and a fluorine-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on graphite anodes. These interphases enable 4.5 V-charged NCM811||graphite full cells to achieve a capacity retention of 92 % over 500 cycles, while commercial 1 Ah pouch cells retain 89 % over 1000 cycles. This study provides a fresh perspective on electrolyte additive design and underscores the transformative potential of HNTFP in enabling long-life, high-voltage LIBs with superior stability and performance.
