Abstract
- High nickel LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 (NCA) cathode material has become one of the most promising cathode materials in the field of power batteries, but the side reaction between the conventional LiPF 6 -based electrolyte and the surface of the NCA material results in poor material interface stability. In this work, a compatible lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB)-based electrolyte by the employment of sulfolane (SL) as a representative sulfur-containing solvent has been built to enhance the interfacial stability of NCA electrode. The composition, morphology and electrochemical properties are studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy et al. Results show that the decomposition of LiDFOB on the surface of the positive electrode material contributes to forming a uniform cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) film, which subsequently reduces the dissolution of metal ions and hinders the structure transition of the material from the layered structure to spinel or rock-salt phases. Besides, the sulfur-containing products resulted from the decomposition of SL promote the conductivity of Li+ ions for CEI film, which makes up for shortcomings of LiDFOB. Moreover, more LiF has been formed due to the synergistic action between LiDFOB salt and SL solvent, improving the stability and density of CEI film, reducing the thickness of CEI film, and further improving the cycle performance of the battery.
