Abstract:

A series of organic molecules combined with benzene ring and cyclic carbonate as electrolyte additives, including terephthalicacidbis-(2-oxo-[1,3]dioxolan-4-ylmethyl)ester(TABE), benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid tris-(2-oxo-[1,3]dioxolan-4-ylmethyl) ester(BATE1) and benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarb-oxylic acid tetrakis-(2-oxo-[1,3]dioxolan-4-ylmethyl) ester(BATE2), was designed and synthesized. The effects of these additives on the electrochemical performance of lithium ion batteries were studied by rate capability, constant current charge-discharge test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The results showed that the amount of substituents on benzene ring greatly influenced the interface between electrolyte and graphite. Compared with the blank electrolyte, a dense and stable Solid electrolyte interface(SEI) film could be observed on the surface of the graphite electrode with BATE1 or BATE2 after 20 charge-discharge cycles, which could optimize the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte and led to the less increase of battery resistance. The test of the rate capability of the battery showed that the addition of BATE2 could improve the rate performance of the battery; meanwhile TABE could make the battery’s performance worse.
