Adiponitrile, CN[CH2](4)CN, ADN, was evaluated as both a solvent and cosolvent in safer and more electrochemically stable electrolytes suitable for high energy and power density Li-ion batteries. An electrochemical investigation of its electrolyte solution with the Li(CF3SO2)(2)N, LiTFSI, salt showed a wide electrochemical window of 6 V vs Li+/Li. The high melting point and the incompatibility of ADN with graphite anode required the use of ethylene carbonate (EC) as a cosolvent. The resultant EC:ADN electrolyte solutions showed ionic conductivities reaching 3.4 mS/cm, viscosities of 9.2 cP, and an improved resistance to aluminum corrosion up to 4.4 V, all at 20 degrees C. Li-ion batteries incorporating graphite/LiCoO2 electrodes were assembled using EC:ADN electrolyte mixture containing 1 M LiTFSI and 0.1 M LiBOB as a cosalt, and discharge capacities of 108 mAh/g with very good capacity retention were obtained. AC impedance spectra of the batteries recorded as a function of charging and cycling indicated the presence of a stable solid electrolyte interface.
