Abstract

Disclosed is an electrolyte composition comprising: a) a solvent comprising: i) either a mixture of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexaflu-oro-2-methoxypropane (HFMP) or of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy)propane (HFMFP), of monofluoroethylene carbonate (F1EC) and of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methyl carbonate (F3EMC), ii) or a mixture of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-methoxypropane (HFMP) or of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy)propane (HFMFP), of monofluoroethylene carbonate (F1EC) and of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acetate (F3EA), b) at least one lithium salt, the cation of which is the cation of an alkali metal.

Claims (22)

1. An electrolyte composition comprising:

a) a solvent comprising:

a mixture of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-methoxypropane (HFMP) and/or of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy) propane (HFMFP), ethylene monofluorocarbonate (F1EC) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acetate (F3EA),

wherein:

the 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-methoxypropane (HFMP) and/or the 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy) propane (HFMFP) makes up 20 to 30% of the volume of the solvent,

the ethylene monofluorocarbonate (F1EC) makes up 15 to 40% of the volume of the solvent,

the 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acetate (F3EA) makes up 30 to 50% of the volume of the solvent,

b) at least one salt the cation of which is the cation of an alkali metal.

2. The electrolyte composition of claim 1 , further comprising, in addition to said at least one salt, lithium difluorophosphate LiPO 2 F 2 .

3. The electrolyte composition of claim 2 , wherein the percentage by weight of lithium difluorophosphate makes up from 0.05 to 5% of the weight of a combined weight of the solvent and the said at least one salt.

4. The electrolyte composition of claim 3 , wherein the percentage by weight of lithium difluorophosphate makes up from 0.05 to 2% of the weight of a combined weight of the solvent and the said at least one salt.

5. The electrolyte composition of claim 4 , wherein the percentage by weight of lithium difluorophosphate makes up from 0.1 to 1% of the weight of a combined weight of the solvent and the said at least one salt.

6. The electrolyte composition according to claim 2 , comprising lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) and lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO2F2).

7. The electrolyte composition according to claim 6 , further comprising lithium fluorosulfonyl imide (LiFSI).

8. The electrolyte composition according to claim 1 , wherein the said at least one salt is a lithium salt and its concentration is greater than or equal to 0.7 mol.L -1 and less than or equal to 4 mol.L -1 .

9. The electrolyte composition according to claim 8 , wherein the lithium salt is lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ).

10. An electrochemical cell comprising:

at least one anode,

at least one cathode,

the electrolyte composition according to claim 1 .

11. The electrochemical cell of claim 10 , of the lithium-ion type.

12. The electrochemical cell of claim 10 , wherein the anode is graphite-based.
