Abstract:
The electrochemical instability of traditional ether-based electrolytes poses a challenge for their use in high-voltage lithium metal batteries. Herein, a synergetic optimization strategy was proposed by introducing an additive with a strong electron-withdrawing group and significant steric hindrance-isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN), reconstructing the solvation structure and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), enabling highly stable and efficient lithium metal batteries. We found that ISDN can strengthen the interaction between Li* and the anions of lithium salts and weaken the interaction between Li* and the solvent in the solvation structure. It promotes the formation of a LiF-rich and LiNxOy-rich SEI layer, enhancing the uniformity and compactness of Li deposition and inhibiting solvent decomposition, which effectively expands the electrochemical window to 4.8 V. The optimized Li||Li cells offer stable cycling over 1000 h with an overpotential of only 57.7 mV at 1 mA cm-2 . Significantly, Li||3.7 mA h LiFePO4 cells retain 108.3% of initial capacity after 546 cycles at a rate of 3 C. Under high-loading conditions (Li||4.9 mA h LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 full cells) and a cutoff voltage of 4.5 V, the ISDN-containing electrolyte enables stable cycling for 140 cycles. This study leverages steric hindrance and electron-withdrawing effect to synergistically reconstruct the Li* solvation structure and promote stable SEI formation, establishing a novel electrolyte paradigm for high-energy lithium metal batteries.
