Nitrile Electrolyte Strategy for 4.9 V-Class Lithium-Metal Batteries Operating in Flame

Challenges facing high-voltage/high-capacity cathodes,in addition to the longstanding problems pertinent to lithium(Li)-metal anodes,should be addressed to develop high-energy-density Li-metal batteries.This issue mostly stems from interfacial instability between electrodes and electrolytes.Conventional carbonate-or ether-based liquid electrolytes suffer from not only volatility and flammability but also limited electrochemical stability window.Here,we report a nitrile electrolyte strategy based on concentrated nitrile electrolytes(CNEs)with co-additives.The CNE consists of high-concentration lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide(LiFSI)in a solvent mixture of succinonitrile(SN)/acetonitrile(AN).The SN/AN solvent mixture is designed to ensure high oxidation stability along with thermal stability,which are prerequisites for high-voltage Li-metal cells.The CNE exhibits interfacial stability with Li metals due to the coordinated solvation structure.Lithium nitrate(LiNO3)and indium fluoride(lnF3)are incorporated in the CNE as synergistic co-additives to further stabilize solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI)on Li metals.The resulting electrolyte(CNE+LiNO3/lnF3)enables stable cycling performance in LillLiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1 and 4.9 V-class LillLiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cells.Notably,the LillLiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cell maintains its electrochemical activity at high temperature(100 ℃)and even in flame without fire or explosion.
