“…Significant efforts have been focused on exploring the large design space of liquid electrolytes − for improved operational temperature window, − electrochemical stability, , ionic transport property, − and the stability of electrode–electrolyte interfaces. , In particular, modifying liquid solvents using fluorination is considered one of the most convenient and scalable manufacturing methods. , The benefits of using the fluorinated solvents are three-fold. First, the fluorine substitution reduces the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), which is necessary but not sufficient descriptor for the oxidative stability of the electrolyte. , The decreased HOMO level increases oxidation stability, , thus broadening the allowed open-circuit threshold for high-voltage cathodes. , Second, the simultaneous decrease in LUMO causes the fluorinated organic solvents to reduce before their nonfluorinated prototypes …”
