Abstract
Advanced electrolytes are essential for extending the operational voltage and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to meet the demands of high-energy applications and enhance safety. Here, we report the design and development of a non-flammable 1M LiPF6 electrolyte based on methyl 3,3,3-trifluoropropionate (MTFP) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC). This electrolyte enables stable cycling of high-voltage graphite||NMC811 LIBs up to 4.5 V, thereby significantly exceeding the voltage limits of conventional carbonate-based electrolytes. Commercial-scale 2.1 Ah pouch cells with a high active material loading (3.8 mA h/cm2) retain 72 % of their initial capacity for over 1000 cycles at 0.5C (2.7–4.45 V). This enhanced performance and cycling stability are attributed to the formation of a protective LiF passivation layer on both the cathode and anode surfaces, as revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. These findings highlight the viability of MTFP-based electrolytes for next-generation LIBs with higher energy density and extended cycle life.
