Abstract

Microsized SiOx has been vigorously investigated as an advanced anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, its practical application is seriously hampered by its huge volume variation during the repeated (de)lithiation process, which destroys the microparticle structure and results in rapid capacity fading. Herein, we propose the usage of trans-difluoroethylene carbonate (DFEC) as an electrolyte additive to maintain the structural integrity of microsized SiOx with a uniform carbon layer (SiOx@C). Compared with ethylene carbonate and fluoroethylene carbonate, DFEC has lower lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy and higher reduction potential, which is easily reduced and promotes the in situ formation of a more stable LiF-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the surface of anode materials. The LiF-rich SEI exhibits enhanced mechanical rigidity and ionic conductivity, thus enabling the microsized SiOx@C anodes’ excellent lithium storage stability and high average Coulombic efficiency.
