Ethylene carbonate (EC) has been used as the Solid-Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) former in the conventional electrolyte for decades. However, its low anodic stability leads to severe capacity decay during cycling under high voltage operation. Therefore, finding a viable electrolyte with high anodic stability and the ability to form robust SEI for high voltage lithium-ion batteries is of primary importance. In this study, a series of electrolytes containing various fluorinated cyclic carbonates as the SEI former have been designed, synthesized and evaluated. Linear sweep voltammetry study suggested that fluorinated cyclic carbonates generally possess higher anodic stability than EC. Based on the cycling performance of LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂ (NMC532)/ graphite full cells, the electrolyte with DFEC/FEMC (1.0 M LiPF₆) inhibited the oxidation side reaction on the cathode and forms a vigorous SEI on the anode. The high voltage NMC532/Graphite cell utilizing the novel electrolyte exhibits excellent cycling durability under both room and elevated temperature. The superior performance of the DFEC based electrolyte was further unveiled by SEM, EDAX and XRD. Both the anode and cathode of the full cell employing DFEC based electrolyte retained their intrinsic structures after cycling while the electrodes cycled in conventional electrolyte showed severe degradation.
