A combination of lithium difluorophosphate and vinylene carbonate as reducible additives to improve cycling performance of graphite electrodes at high rates

초록

Lithium difluorophosphate (LiDFP) as a reducible additive is employed to overcome the unsatisfactory rate capability and cycling instability of highly pressed graphite electrodes with high mass loading (8.1 mg/cm(2)) with a vinylene carbonate (VC)-derived surface film that hampers the charge transport at the graphite electrolyte interface at high rates. Our investigation reveals that LiDFP modifies the surface chemistry induced by VC and makes a more ionically conductive surface film on graphite, ensuring good rate capability. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
