Improved Low Temperature Performance of Graphite/Li Cells Using Isoxazole as a Novel Cosolvent in Electrolytes
Abstract
An investigation of novel electrolyte formulations to improve low temperature performance of Li/graphite half cells has been conducted. A novel electrolyte co-solvent, isoxazole (IZ), has been investigated in electrolyte systems composed of lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) in fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and LiDFOB in ethylene carbonate (EC). Cells containing 1 M LiDFOB FEC: IZ electrolyte have a significant improvement in capacity retention and reversible capacity at −10 °C. Ex-situ surface analysis of the cycled electrodes suggests that reduction of LiDFOB results in an oxalate rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Addition of FEC, results in improved stability of the anode SEI preventing further decomposition of isoxazole solvent and improving cycling performance.
