Abstract

<p>LiPF<sub>6</sub>/Methyl difluoroacetate (MFA) shows a very good thermal stability with Li metal. However, LiPF<sub>6</sub>/Ethyl difluoroacetate (EFA) did not show any improvement of the thermal stability. Using FTIR and XPS, the main component of SEI in the MFA electrolyte was found to be CHF<sub>2</sub>COOLi. However, CHF<sub>2</sub>COOLi does not exist in the SEI of the EFA electrolyte, because CHF<sub>2</sub>COOLi dissolves in EFA electrolyte. CHF<sub>2</sub>COOLi was found to dissolve in EC, DMC, and DEC. Therefore, the addition of a small amount of MFA in 1 M LiPF<sub>6</sub>/EC + DMC, DMC, and DEC electrolytes was not effective to improve thermal stability.</p>
