Abstract

Serious safety issues are impeding the widespread adoption of high-energy lithium-ion batteries for transportation electrification and large-scale grid storage. Herein, a triple-salt ethylene carbonate (EC) free electrolyte for high-safety and high-energy pouch-type LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂|graphite (NMC811|Gr) cells is reported. This EC-free electrolyte can effectively stabilize the NMC811 surface under high potential (up to 4.5 V), as well as generate a stable interphase to achieve a superior compatibility with the Gr anode. The electrolyte strategy enables significantly enhanced intrinsic safety (trigger temperature of thermal runaway (TR) increased by 67.0 °C), excellent electrochemical properties (4.2V, ≈100% after 200 cycles), and superior high voltage stability (4.5 V, 82.1% after 200 cycles). The work opens up a new avenue for developing novel electrolyte systems to build safer high-energy batteries for practical applications.
