The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.
The rational design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with high ionic conductivity and high electrochemical stability is significantly important in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. Herein, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to generate protective SEI films on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB is beneficial to form a dense, uniform, stable and LiF-richer SEI, which is helpful to boost the Li-ion storage kinetics. In addition, the generated SEI can inhibit the further decomposition of electrolytes and maintain the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. As a result, LVO-based anodes exhibit a much higher capacity (769.5 mA h g(-1) at 0.5 A g(-1)), enhanced rate performance (243.3 mA h g(-1) at 5.0 A g(-1)) and excellent long-term cycling stability (209.9 mA h g(-1) after 5000 cycles) when cycled in 1 wt% LiDFOB addition electrolyte. This work confirms that LiDFOB is a promising multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides new insights into SEI construction towards high-performance LVO anodes.
