Compatibilities between Lithium Bis(Oxalate)Borate-Based Electrolyte and LiFePO4, LiMn2O4 or LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 Cathodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Olivine-type LiFePO4 and crystal structure LiMn2O4 or LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 are promising cathode materials for electric vehicles (EVs) applications. To find more appropriate electrolyte systems to exert the perfect electrochemical performance of LiFePO4, LiMn2O4 and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathodes, the electrochemical performances of LiBOB-ethylene carbonate (EC)/ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC)/diethyl carbonate (DEC) electrolyte are investigated in this paper. In LiFePO4/Li, LiMn2O4/Li and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4/Li cells, this novel electrolyte exhibits several advantages, such as stable cycle performance and good rate performance. It suggests that LiBOB-EC/EMC/DEC electrolyte has good compatibility with the three kinds of cathodes, and would be an attractive electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries based upon LiFePO4, LiMn2O4 and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathodes.
