Abstract

Electrolytes and electrolyte additives for energy storage devices comprising fluorinated cyclic compounds.

Claims (20)

1. An energy storage device comprising:

a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a Si-based electrode;

a separator between the first electrode and the second electrode;

an electrolyte; and

at least one electrolyte additive comprising a compound selected from the group consisting of Formulae (A), (B), (C) and (G):

wherein:

each R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 is independently selected from the group consisting of —H, —F, and a C1-C8 alkyl substituted by F;

wherein, in Formula (A), at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 or R 4 is —F or a C1-C8 alkyl substituted by F;

wherein, in Formula (B), at least one of R 1 or R 2 is —F or a C1-C8 alkyl substituted by F;

wherein, in Formula (C), at least one of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 or R 6 is —F or a C1-C8 alkyl substituted by F;

and

wherein, in Formula (G), each R 11 , R 12 , and R 13 is —H or a C1-C8 alkyl substituted by F, wherein at least one of R 11 , R 12 , or R 13 is a C1-C8 alkyl substituted by F.

2. The energy storage device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode is a Si-dominant electrode.

3. The energy storage device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode comprises a self-supporting composite material film.

4. The energy storage device of claim 3 , wherein the composite material film comprises:

greater than 0% and less than about 90% by weight of silicon particles, and

greater than 0% and less than about 90% by weight of one or more types of carbon phases, wherein at least one of the one or more types of carbon phases is a substantially continuous phase that holds the composite material film together such that the silicon particles are distributed throughout the composite material film.

5. The energy storage device of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte further comprises fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC).

6. The energy storage device of claim 5 , wherein the electrolyte is substantially free of non-fluorine containing cyclic carbonate.

7. The energy storage device of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte additive is selected from the group consisting of a fluorinated succinimide, a fluorinated glutarimide, a fluorinated maleimide, and a fluorinated 1-propanephosphonic acid cyclic anhydride.
