Ni-rich LiNixCoyMn1−x−yO2/graphite batteries with Ni ≥ 0.8 have aroused great interest in high-energy–density Li-ion batteries. However, their practical applications still face huge challenges owing to severe capacity fading on unstable cathodic solid electrolyte interfaces (SEI). Herein, we propose an advanced electrolyte additive, tri(2-furyl)phosphine (FuP), to induce the simultaneous formation of robust SEI films on cathode and anode surfaces. This interphase can significantly improve the cyclability of commercial LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2/graphite pouch cells at 45 °C and reduce cell impedance during cycling. The capacity retention rate of the cells with the FuP-based electrolyte can reach 90 % after 600 cycles, which is considerably better than that of baseline batteries (70 %). Mechanistic studies indicate that FuP suppresses the formation of fragile Li2CO3 to generate more stable LiF, LixPOyFz, and additional organic phosphorus species on the electrode surface, thereby preventing cation disorder and irreversible phase transitions. These results provide a facile and efficient strategy for enhancing the performance of Ni-rich Li-ion batteries.

三(2-呋喃基)膦诱导的坚固界面,用于耐用的富镍锂离子电池
Ni ≥ 0.8的富镍 LiNi x Co y Mn 1−x−y O 2 /石墨电池引起了人们对高能量密度锂离子电池的极大兴趣。然而,由于不稳定的阴极固体电解质界面(SEI)上的严重容量衰减,它们的实际应用仍然面临巨大挑战。在此,我们提出了一种先进的电解质添加剂三(2-呋喃基)膦(FuP),以诱导在阴极和阳极表面同时形成坚固的 SEI 膜。该界面可以显着提高商业 LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2的循环性能/石墨软包电池在 45 °C 并降低循环过程中的电池阻抗。采用 FuP 基电解液的电池在 600 次循环后容量保持率可达 90%,明显优于基准电池(70%)。机理研究表明,FuP 可抑制易碎的 Li 2 CO 3的形成,从而在电极表面生成更稳定的 LiF、Li x PO y F z和其他有机磷物质,从而防止阳离子紊乱和不可逆相变。这些结果为提高富镍锂离子电池的性能提供了一种简便有效的策略。
