Title: Additives for high voltage lithium ion batteries

Abstract

This invention relates to a method for preparing an electrochemical cell comprising the sequential steps of preparing a solution of a lithium salt in an non-aqueous solvent containing an additive compound, and maintaining the solution at a temperature in the range of about 20 to about 30° C. for about 5 to 10 days to form an aged electrolyte; assembling an electrochemical cell from an anode, a cathode, and the aged electrolyte; and electrochemically subjecting the electrochemical cell to formation cycling. The additive compound comprises one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: (R3SiO)3B, (R3SiO)3XY, (R3SiO)3P, (R′O)3PO, (R3Si)3X′, R3SiOS(O)2R′; (R3Si)OC(═O)R′; wherein each R and R′ independently is a hydrocarbyl group; X is P or B; Y is O or S; X is Ti or Al. Electrochemical cells and batteries also are described.
