Abstract
Rechargeable lithium batteries using 5 V positive electrode materials can deliver considerably higher energy density as compared to state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries. However, their development remains plagued by the lack of electrolytes with concurrent anodic stability and Li metal compatibility. Here we report a new electrolyte based on dimethyl 2,5-dioxahexanedioate solvent for 5 V-class batteries. Benefiting from the particular chemical structure, weak interaction with lithium cation and resultant peculiar solvation structure, the resulting electrolyte not only enables stable, dendrite-free lithium plating-stripping, but also displays anodic stability up to 5.2 V (vs. Li/Li+), in additive or co-solvent-free formulation, and at low salt concentration of 1 M. Consequently, the Li | |LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cells using the 1 M LiPF6 in 2,5-dioxahexanedioate based electrolyte retain >97% of the initial capacity after 250 cycles, outperforming the conventional carbonate-based electrolyte formulations, making this, and potentially other dicarbonate solvents promising for future Lithium-based battery practical explorations.

Cycling Stability of Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Fe-Ti-Doped LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 Cathodes, Graphite Anodes, and the Cathode-Additive Li 3 PO 4.

Abstract
This study addresses the improved cycling stability of Li-ion batteries based on Fe-Ti-doped LiNi0.5 Mn1.5 O4 (LNMO) high-voltage cathode active material and graphite anodes. By using 1 wt% Li3 PO4 as cathode additive, over 90% capacity retention for 1000 charge-discharge cycles and remaining capacities of 109 mAh g-1 are reached in a cell with an areal capacity of 2.3 mAh cm- 2 (potential range: 3.5-4.9 V). Cells without the additive, in contrast, suffer from accelerated capacity loss and increase polarization, resulting in capacity retention of only 78% over 1000 cycles. An electrolyte consisting of ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, and LiPF6 is used without additional additives. The significantly improved cycling stability of the full cells is mainly due to two factors, namely, the low MnIII content of the Fe-Ti-doped LNMO active material and the use of the cathode-additive Li3 PO4 . Crystalline Li3 PO4 yields a drastic reduction of transition metal deposition on the graphite anode and prevents Li loss and the propagation of cell polarization. Li3 PO4 is added to the cathode slurry that makes it a very simple and scalable process, first reported herein. The positive effects of crystalline Li3 PO4 as electrode additive, however, should apply to other cell chemistries as well.

Abstract
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) with a spinel structure is one of the most promising cathode materials choices for Li-ion batteries (LIBs). However, at a high operating voltages, the decomposition of organic electrolytes and the dissolution of transition metals, especially Mn(II) ions, cause unsatisfactory cycle stability. The initial application of a sodium alginate (SA)-xylan biopolymer as an aqueous binder aims to address the aforementioned problems. The SX28-LNMO electrode has a sizable discharge capacity, exceptional rate capability, and long-term cyclability with a capacity retention of 99.8% after 450 cycles at 1C and a remarkable rate capability of 121 mAh g-1 even at 10C. A more thorough investigation illustrated that SX28 binder provides a substantial adhesion property and generates a uniform (CEI) layer on the LNMO surface, suppressing electrolytes' oxidative decomposition upon cycling and improving LIB performances. This work highlights the potential of hemicellulose as an aqueous binder for 5.0 V high-voltage cathodes.

Abstract
Among candidates at the positive electrode of the next generation of Li-ion technology and even beyond post Li-ion technology as all-solid-state batteries, spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is one of the favorites. Nevertheless, before its integration into commercial systems, challenges still remain to be tackled, especially the stabilization of interfaces with the electrolyte (liquid or solid) at high voltage. In this work, a simple, fast, and cheap process is used to prepare a homogeneous coating of Al2O3 type to modify the surface of the spinel LNMO: the supercritical fluid chemical deposition (SFCD) route. This process is, to the best of our knowledge, used for the first time in the battery field. Significantly improved performance was demonstrated vs those of bare LNMO, especially at high rates and for highly loaded electrodes.
