A new class of fluorinated sulfones, β-fluorinated sulfones, were designed and synthesized as electrolyte solvents for high voltage lithium-ion batteries. While the oxidation potential of β-fluorinated sulfones is slightly lower than that of α-fluorinated sulfones, it is still significantly higher than the oxidation potential of regular sulfones, which already possess fairly high anodic stability. However, β-fluorinated sulfones exhibit a significant decrease in reduction potential compared to α-fluorinated sulfones, rendering them more stable towards graphite anodes. Moreover, the reduced lithium solvating power of β-fluorinated sulfones compared to regular sulfones mitigates the transition metal dissolution of cathodes. Taken together, these middle ground properties of β-fluorinated sulfone-based electrolytes enable the very stable long-term cycling of graphite||LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂ full cells. Finally, the outstanding performance of β-fluorinated sulfones designed by applying the “golden middle way” paves a new path for the development of an effective electrolyte system.
