Lithium tetrafluoro oxalato phosphate (LTFOP) was investigated as an electrolyte additive to improve the life of mesocarbon microbead (MCMB)/Li{sub 1.1}[Ni{sub 1/3}Co{sub 1/3}Mn{sub 1/3}]{sub 0.9}O{sub 2} (NCM) cells for high power applications. With the addition of 1-3 wt % LTFOP to MCMB/NCM cells, the capacity retention after 200 cycles at 55 C significantly improved. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the LTFOP addition in the electrolyte increased the initial impedance but lowered the impedance growth rate during cycling. Aging tests at 55 C indicated that the capacity retention of the negative electrode significantly benefited as a result of the LTFOP addition. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that the safety of the lithiated MCMB is significantly improved with the LTFOP addition.
