“…There are many aspects that affect the cycling performances of LLO, including the increased interfacial impedance due to the accumulated products from electrolyte decomposition, the decreased discharge voltage plateau due to phase transformation from layered to spinel, and the structural destruction due to the attack from HF . Thanks to the high charge voltage (4.8 V), all of the cells deliver an initial capacity of as large as 250 mAh g –1 at 0.1C, which is highly dependent on the composition of LLO. − In the baseline electrolyte, the LLO behaves stable before 100 cycles, although minor capacity loss is observed. This initial capacity loss can be ascribed to the slow phase transformation that is inevitable for the samples enforced by doping, coating, or using electrolyte additives. , After the 130th cycle, however, the LLO cycled in the baseline electrolyte suffers a sudden capacity fading, which can be ascribed to the structural destruction. , In the BTMSC-containing electrolyte, the LLO behaves similar to that in the baseline electrolyte but is stable up to 200 cycles, highlighting the contribution of BTMSC.…”
