Additives for lithium batteries and methods
Lithium tetrafluoro(malonato)phosphate compounds are useful as additives in lithium ion battery applications. The compounds are represented by Formula (I): MPF4[—O(C═O)—(CX′X″)—(C═O)O—]; wherein M is Li or Na; each X′ and X″ independently is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, fluoro-substituted alkyl, and F; or wherein the X′ and X″ together are —CR2—(CR′2)m—CR″2—; each R, R′ and R″ independently is selected from the group consisting of H, methyl, trifluoromethyl, and F; and m is 0 or 1. These compounds can be prepared in high purity and a high yield by reaction of a metal hexafluorophosphate with a bis-silyl malonate compound. A similar oxalato compound, lithium tetrafluoro(oxalato)phosphate), can be made in the same manner, but using a bis-silyl oxalate in place of the bis-silyl malonate. Advantageously, the compounds can be formed, in situ, in a LiPF6-containing electrolyte solution.
