Since firstly commercialized by Sony, lithium batteries are becoming ubiquitous in 3C electronic products, electric vehicles (EVs), and large-scale energy storage (ES) devices, [1][2][3][4][5] while the applications of EVs and ES still call for batteries with higher energy density. The combination of high voltage (≥4.3 V) nickel-rich cathode (LiNi x Mn y Co (1-x-y) O 2 , NCM) and lithium metal anode is no doubt an ideal choice to fulfill the energy demand, while the poor cycle stability and safety concern brought about by inferior interfacial stability between lithium and electrolyte are seriously hindering its development. Electrolyte is no doubt the most convenient way to enhance the stability of high energy density batteries; therefore, tremendous efforts have been devoted to novel electrolyte design. [6][7][8] Stable cathode/anode electrolyte interface (CEI/SEI) is the key to enable long life of Li|| NCM batteries, and in terms of electrolyte design, several strategies have been trialed and proved to be effective. The first and most commonly used one is using special additives that could promote the formation of SEI/CEI, typical ones including lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB), [9,10] Lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), [11] lithium nitrate (LiNO 3 ), [12] to name but a few. With 1.5 wt% LiDFOB as additive, graphite|| LiNi 0.83 Mn 0.05 Co 0.12 O 2 cell kept 83.1% of its initial capacity after 200 cycles at C/3 rate, while capacity retention of the one without LiDFOB is only 59.9% under the same condition. [10] However, this strategy suffers from additive loss, as the additives usually need to be self-sacrificed to form the protection layer on the electrode. [13] When the additives are used up, cell is approaching the end of its life. The second strategy is introducing solvents with better electrochemical stability, such as fluorinated carbonate, [14] sulfones, [15] and phosphates, [16] to prohibit the electrolyte from being oxidized on the cathode surface. Chen et al. [17] introduced an all-fluorinated electrolyte, 1 M LiPF 6 in methyl 3,3,3trifluoropionate (MTFP)/fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) (9:1, by vol.), which significantly enhanced the high voltage performance of Li|| NMC811 cell. Attributed to the fluorine-rich interface formed by the electrolyte, it demonstrated a capacity retention of 80% after 250 cycles even under a high cutoff voltage of 4.5 V, whereas capacity retention of the one with 1 M LiPF 6 in ethylene carbonate (EC)/diethyl carbonate (DEC) (1:1, by vol.) is only 53%. The third strategy is to adjust the Li + solvation structure by preparing (localized) high-concentration
