Electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries

This chapter describes electrolytes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. The chemical composition, formation mechanism, growth characteristics, ion transport mechanism, and thermal stability of the positive and negative interfaces of different materials for Li-ion batteries are discussed with a brief summary of the interactions between the positive and negative interfaces. The liquid electrolyte solvents, lithium salts, and additives are explained in detail, including the types of solvents, the classification of lithium salts, and the types and roles of additives, respectively.
