Lithium-bis(hexafluorobutan-2,3-diol)-borate (R1S), synthesized as a novel electrolyte component in lithium-ion battery (LIB) cells, was evaluated and introduced as a bifunctional interphase additive for both, anodes and cathodes with the purpose of improving the cell performance during high voltage operation. For the graphite based anode it was demonstrated, that the additive could diminish the amount of parasitic capacity required for the formation of an effective solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which could be concluded from improved Coulombic efficiency data. In parallel, improved capacity retention on the cathode attributed to an altered cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) by the same additive was observed. Contrary to the CEI formed by the benchmark electrolyte formulation, the interphase of the additive containing electrolyte formulation is significantly influenced in an electrochemical manner (oxidation reactions), as derived from potentiodynamic measurements. As a result, the additive-tuned CEI was found smoother and less resistive compared to the additive-free counterpart, which was demonstrated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the harvested LiNi 1/3 Co 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 (NMC111) electrodes after charge/discharge cycling. The simultaneous improvement of the interphases on cathode and anode by the additive could finally enhance the overall performance of a NMC111/graphite cell.
Herein, we report the preparation of silver(I) pentafluorooxosulfate from commercially available AgF and OSF 4 . The compound is surprisingly stable in a MeCN solution. Apart from that, AgOSF 5 has been stabilised by the addition of 2,2'-bipyridine ligands. Starting from solutions of the unstabilised silver(I) salt, OSF 5 complexes with Ni II , Cu I , and Cu II -centres have been obtained. In addition, AgOSF 5 has proven to be generally capable of mediating the transfer of OSF 5 groups to aryne moieties, thus furnishing a new and safe method for the preparation of OSF 5 -substituted arenes. X-ray crystal structure analysis of selected transition-metal OSF 5 compounds have revealed distorted octahedral [OSF 5 ] À anions which are extensively stabilised by hydrogen bonding.Scheme 1.
