Succinonitrile (SN, CN–[CH2]2–CN) is evaluated as an additive for improving thermal stability in ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolytes lithium ion batteries. Without any sacrifice of performance such cyclability and capacity, the introduction SN into electrolyte with a graphite anode LixCoO2 cathode leads to (1) reducing amount gas emitted at high temperature, (2) increasing onset temperature exothermic reactions (3) decreasing exothermal heat. The improvement considered be due strong...

Vinylene carbonate (VC) has been the best performing solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) additive for current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, it is also true that LIB technology being stagnated by limit set VC. This study introduces 3-fluoro-1,3-propane sultone (FPS) as a novel SEI to replace VC and another popular additive, 1,3-propane (PS). Both density functional calculations electrochemical experiments confirm presence of an electron withdrawing fluorine group favourable in terms...
