The long-term cycle performance of NCM811/Li batteries at high temperature was achieved by mixing LiDFOB and LiPF 6 salts into the ethylene carbonate (EC) and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) solution (EC/EMC = 3:7 by volume). The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) tests indicate 0.8 M LiPF 6 /0.2 M LiDFOB electrolyte system could improve thermal stability. The NCM811 cell with the mixed lithium salts electrolyte shows superior high temperature cycling performance, as demonstrated by the high capacity retention (89.00%) after 100 cycles at 0.5 C, which is much better than that of the 1.0 M LiPF 6 electrolyte (51.34%). Inductively coupled plasma (ICP), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and other spectroscopic analyses reveal that adding LiDFOB salt could suppress Ni/Co/Mn dissolution into the electrolyte, due to the LiDFOB salt can be decomposed to produce a protective CEI layer on NCM811 surface. These results show that mixed lithium salts (LiDFOB and LiPF 6 ) is an efficient solution to enhance the high temperature performance of nickel-rich based lithium-ion batteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
