The current commercial carbonate-based electrolytes cannot meet the increasing voltage requirements of high energy density lithium-ion batteries. It is crucial to construct a robust cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) to separate the electrolytes from the cathode materials and suppress side reactions. This review summarizes the historical evolution, characterizations, and modeling of CEI, as well as practical considerations for electrolyte design. The focus is on CEI-forming additives, antioxidation solvents, and lithium salts.
The thermal stability window of current commercial carbonate-based electrolytes is no longer sufficient to meet the ever-increasing cathode working voltage requirements of high energy density lithium-ion batteries. It is crucial to construct a robust cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) for high-voltage cathode electrodes to separate the electrolytes from the active cathode materials and thereby suppress the side reactions. Herein, this review presents a brief historic evolution of the mechanism of CEI formation and compositions, the state-of-art characterizations and modeling associated with CEI, and how to construct robust CEI from a practical electrolyte design perspective. The focus on electrolyte design is categorized into three parts: CEI-forming additives, antioxidation solvents, and lithium salts. Moreover, practical considerations for electrolyte design applications are proposed. This review will shed light on the future electrolyte design which enables aggressive high-voltage cathodes.
