We report a carbonate-based localized high-concentration electrolyte (LHCE) with a fluorinated ether as a diluent for 4-V class lithium metal batteries (LMBs), which enables dendrite-free Li deposition with a high Li Coulombic efficiency (similar to 98.5%) and much better cycling stability for Li metal anodes than previously reported dimethyl carbonate-based LHCEs at lean electrolyte conditions. This electrolyte consists of 1.2 M lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) in a cosolvent mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC)/ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) with bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) ether (BTFE) as the diluent and 0.15 M lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) as an additive. A Li parallel to LiNi1/3Mn1/3 Co1/3O2 battery with a high areal loading of 3.8 mAh cm(-2) maintains 84% of its initial capacity after 100 cycles. The enhanced stability can be attributed to the robust solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) layer formed on the Li metal decomposition of LiDFOB salt and EC solvent molecules.
