abstract = {Lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO) and silicon/graphite
(SiGr) are promising active materials for high voltage
lithium ion batteries attributed to the high operating
potential versus Li|Li+ of LNMO and the high specific
discharge capacity of silicon. However, this cell chemistry
exhibits rapid capacity fading, primarily attributed to
electrolyte decomposition at the high operating voltage of
4.9 V. Here, a fluorinated electrolyte containing lithium
hexafluorophosphate as conducting salt, as well as
fluoroethylene carbonate and methyl (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)
carbonate as electrolyte solvents is introduced. The
influence of the selected solvents on the interphase
formation and galvanostatic cycling performance is analyzed
using complementary electrochemical, spectroscopic, and
safety-related techniques. The presence of fluorinated
solvents enables a high oxidative stability of an
electrolyte up to 5.0 V versus Li|Li+ and effective
interphase formation. In comparison to cells with
non-fluorinated electrolytes, the galvanostatic cycling
performance demonstrates a considerable improvement, leading
to a doubling of the achievable cycle life. Roll-over
failure observed in the electrolyte with non-fluorinated
solvents could be effectively suppressed for over 300 cycles
and the resulting electrolyte formulation with fluorinated
solvents is non-flammable. Additionally, by fine-tuning the
electrolyte formulation, the extent of acetylcholinesterase
inhibition, an indication of substance toxicity of the aged
electrolyte could be reduced.},
