Deciphering and modulating energetics of solvation structure enables aggressive high-voltage chemistry of Li metal batteries

Zunchun Wu et al.

Summary: This study found that the coordination between Li+ and solvents determines the anodic stability of localized high-concentrated electrolytes (LHCEs) on high-voltage cathodes, which can be finely tuned by ambient diluents. Among the possible diluents, 2H,3H-decafluoropentane (HFC) was found to satisfy the principle of weak but sufficient interactions, which enhances Li+ coordination and offers excellent antioxidant chemistry. The study provides guiding principles for improving the cathodic and anodic stability of electrolytes, benefiting the development of LHCEs and inspiring next-generation lithium batteries formulation.
