According to previous reports, the addition of 1.0–5.0 wt% of an electrolyte additive has been found to greatly enhance battery performance. For instance, the inclusion of 1.0 wt% of tris (trimethysilyl) borate in a liquid electrolyte containing LiPF 6 was observed to exhibit excellent stability at temperatures of 30 °C and 55 °C .
An example of a suitable electrolyte additive for stabilizing the lithium electrode surface is lanthanum nitrate. This additive facilitates the formation of a passivation film on metallic lithium, as depicted in Fig. 12. The passivation film may consist of lanthanum/lithium sulfides.
One example is the use of benzoic anhydride as a bifunctional electrolyte additive . It serves as an interface between the cathode and the electrolyte, improving the overall performance of the battery. Additionally, it also has the capability to capture gases that may be generated during battery operation, further enhancing safety.
The addition of nitrate additives to electrolytes has shown a significant improvement in battery performance. This is attributed to several mechanisms including the promotion of Li + ion dissolution that predominantly happens via the cation transfer to the solvation shell and alteration of their surroundings .
Development of high-performing lithium-based batteries inevitably calls for a profound understanding and elucidation of the reactivity at the electrode–liquid electrolyte interface and its impact on the overall performance and safety.
In summary, several studies have addressed these key issues because of the generally poor compatibility of phosphate additives with the negative electrode. For instance, increasing lithium salt concentration can enhance interactions among cations, anions, and solvents while reducing the number of free solvent molecules.
