Spontaneous aggregation of lithium ion coordination polymers in fluorinated electrolytes for high-voltage batteries

Malliakas, Christos D.; Leung, Kevin L.; Pupek, Krzysztof Z.; Shkrob, Ilya A.; Abraham, Daniel P.

Fluorinated carbonates are pursued as liquid electrolyte solvents for high-voltage Li-ion batteries. Here we report aggregation of [Li+(FEC)3]n polymer species in fluoroethylene carbonate containing electrolytes and scrutinize the causes for this behavior.
