LiFNFSI-based electrolyte does not decompose after storage at 85 °C for two weeks.
Decompositions of LiPF6-carbonate electrolyte would be initialized by the presence of trace amounts of HF and protic impurities.
SEI films formed on graphite anode in the LiFNFSI-based electrolyte are majorly dominated by the reductive products of FNFSI− anions.
Graphite/LiCoO2 cells with LiFNFSI show better higher-temperature storage, current-rate and cycling performances than those with LiPF6.
