Abstract: | In this study, a new electrolyte additive 1,3,5-tri-2-propenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-(1H, 3H, 5H)-trione (TAIC) for lithium-ion batteries is reported. The additive is introduced as a novel electrolyte additive to enhance electrochemical performances of layered lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) and lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) cathodes, especially under a higher working voltage. Encouragingly, we found protective films would be formed on the cathode surface by the electrochemical oxidation, and the stability of the cathode material–electrolyte interface was greatly promoted. By adding 0.5 wt.% of TAIC into the electrolyte, the battery exhibited outstanding performances. The thickness swelling decreased to about 6% after storage at 85 °C for 24 h, while the capacity retention of cycle-life performances under high temperature of 45 °C after the 600th cycle increased 10% in comparison with the batteries without TAIC. Due to its specific function, the additive can be used in high energy density and high voltage lithium-ion battery systems. |
