In the quest for environmentally friendly and safe batteries, moving from fluorinated electrolytes that are toxic and release corrosive compounds, such as HF, is a necessary step. Here, the effects of electrolyte fluorination are investigated for full cells combining silicon- graphite composite electrodes with Li-Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC111) cathodes, a viable cell chemistry for a range of potential battery applications, by means of electrochemical testing and postmortem surface analysis. A fluorine-free electrolyte based on lithium bis(oxalato) borate (LiBOB) and vinylene carbonate (VC) is able to provide higher discharge capacity (147 mAh g(NMC)(-1)) and longer cycle life at C/10 (84.4% capacity retention after 200 cycles) than a cell with a highly fluorinated electrolyte containing LiPF6, fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and VC. The cell with the fluorine-free electrolyte is able to form a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, has low overpotential, and shows a slow increase in cell resistance that leads to improved electrochemical performance. Although the power capability is limiting the performance of the fluorine-free electrolyte due to higher interfacial resistance, it is still able to provide long cycle life at C/2 and outperforms the highly fluorinated electrolyte at 40 degrees C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results showed a F-rich SEI with the highly fluorinated electrolyte, while the fluorine-free electrolyte formed an O-rich SEI. Although their composition is different, the electrochemical results show that both the highly fluorinated and fluorine-free electrolytes are able to stabilize the silicon-based anode and support stable cycling in full cells. While these results demonstrate the possibility to use a nonfluorinated electrolyte in high-energy-density full cells, they also address new challenges toward environmentally friendly and nontoxic electrolytes.
