Abstract:
The electrochemical instability of traditional ether-based electrolytes poses a challenge for their use in high-voltage lithium metal batteries. Herein, a synergetic optimization strategy was proposed by introducing an additive with a strong electron-withdrawing group and significant steric hindrance—isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN), reconstructing the solvation structure and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), enabling highly stable and efficient lithium metal batteries. We found that ISDN can strengthen the interaction between Li+ and the anions of lithium salts and weaken the interaction between Li+ and the solvent in the solvation structure. It promotes the formation of a LiF-rich and LiNxOy-rich SEI layer, enhancing the uniformity and compactness of Li deposition and inhibiting solvent decomposition, which effectively expands the electrochemical window to 4.8 V. The optimized Li||Li cells offer stable cycling over 1000 h with an overpotential of only 57.7 mV at 1 mA cm−2. Significantly, Li||3.7 mA h LiFePO4 cells retain 108.3% of initial capacity after 546 cycles at a rate of 3 C. Under high-loading conditions (Li||4.9 mA h LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 full cells) and a cutoff voltage of 4.5 V, the ISDN-containing electrolyte enables stable cycling for 140 cycles. This study leverages steric hindrance and electron-withdrawing effect to synergistically reconstruct the Li+ solvation structure and promote stable SEI formation, establishing a novel electrolyte paradigm for high-energy lithium metal batteries. © 2025
