Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are increasingly required to operate under harsh conditions, particularly at low-temperature condition. Developing novel electrolytes is a facile and effective approach to elevate the electrochemical performances of LIBs at low temperature. Herein, a dual-salt electrolyte consisting of (lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiODFB)) is proposed to regulate the solvation structure of Li+ ions and improve the reaction kinetics under low temperature. Based on the comprehensive electrochemical tests and theoretical computations, the introduction of LiODFB component not only effectively benefits the formation of cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) layer on the surface of LiFePO4 electrode, but also inhibits the chemical corrosion effect of LiTFSI-containing electrolytes on Al foil. As expected, the optimized Li||LiFePO₄ cells can display high reversible capacity of 117.0 mAh/g after 100 cycles at -20 °C. This work provides both theoretical basis and experimental guidance for the rational design of low-temperature resistant electrolytes.
