Summary: | Electrolytes containing lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) as the conductive salt generally possess the high moisture tolerance and innate HF-free generation in moisture environments in comparison with those containing lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6). However, severe corrosion of the aluminium current collector presently hinders the use of LiTFSI within Li-ion cells. Here 3-methoxypropionitrile (MPN) is introduced as an alternative, non-toxic solvent into the electrolyte formulation to explore the effects on Al corrosion. The MPN-containing electrolytes can suppress Al corrosion via the generation of an aluminium nitride dominated protection layer during charge-discharge cycling, as confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. For the cycling performance of Li||LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 half cells, the increasing addition of MPN solvent improves capacity retention and suppresses the corrosion of Al current collectors in LiTFSI containing electrolytes. |
