Concentrated Electrolyte Boosting High-Temperature Cycling Stability Of Licoo2/Graphite Cell

We report a strategy employing a concentrated electrolyte to boost the cycling stability of LiCoO2/graphite cells at 90 degrees C for the first time. Such a concentrated electrolyte provides the cells with superb cycling stability (97% after 160 cycles) at 90 degrees C. Further investigations unveil that the concentrated electrolyte participates in the formation of a compact LiF-rich CEI layer, which effectively inhibits the decomposition of electrolyte solvent and the dissolution of Co2+, maintaining the structural integrity of the LiCoO2 cathode.
