Li metal batteries (LMBs) with LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cathodes could release a specific energy of >500 Wh kg−1 by increasing the charge voltage. However, high-nickel cathodes working at high voltages accelerate degradations in bulk and at interfaces, thus significantly degrading the cycling lifespan and decreasing the specific capacity. Here, we rationally design an all-fluorinated electrolyte with addictive tri(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) borate (TFEB), based on 3, 3, 3-fluoroethylmethylcarbonate (FEMC) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), which enables stable cycling of high nickel cathode (LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2, NMC811) under a cut-off voltage of 4.7 V in Li metal batteries. The electrolyte not only shows the fire-extinguishing properties, but also inhibits the transition metal dissolution, the gas production, side reactions on the cathode side. Therefore, the NMC811||Li cell demonstrates excellent performance by using limited Li and high-loading cathode, delivering a specific capacity >220 mA h g−1, an average Coulombic efficiency >99.6% and capacity retention >99.7% over 100 cycles. |
