摘要
Two component mixtures of dinitrile functionalized disiloxanes and ethylene carbonate were investigated as new solvent composition for liquid electrolytes in lithium-ion half-cells. Their thermal and chemical stability offer an enhanced safety due to the substitution of the usually used volatile noncyclic carbonates of standard electrolyte compositions by 1,3-Bis(3-cyanopropyl) tetramethyldisiloxane which was tested in a 1: 1 mixture with ethylene carbonate (denoted as dinitrile/EC). A wide electrochemical window up to 5.4 V vs. Li/Li+ on Pt electrode was obtained using LiClO4 as lithium salt. The dinitrile/EC electrolyte shows ionic conductivities reaching 1 mS.cm(-1) and viscosities of 13 mPa.s at 30 degrees C. Half-cell tests using graphite and LFP electrodes yielded high capacity retentions of 90% of the initial capacity after more than 500 cycles.
