Electrolyte is very critical to the performance of the high-voltage lithium (Li) metal battery (LMB), which is one of the most attractive candidates for the next-generation high-density energy-storage systems. Electrolyte formulation and structure determine the physical properties of the electrolytes and their interfacial chemistries on the electrode surfaces. Localized high-concentration electrolytes (LHCEs) outperform state-of-the-art carbonate electrolytes in many aspects in LMBs due to their unique solvation structures. Types of fluorinated cosolvents used in LHCEs are investigated here in searching for the most suitable diluent for high-concentration electrolytes (HCEs). Nonsolvating solvents (including fluorinated ethers, fluorinated borate, and fluorinated orthoformate) added in HCEs enable the formation of LHCEs with high-concentration solvation structures. However, low-solvating fluorinated carbonate will coordinate with Li+ ions and form a second solvation shell or a pseudo-LHCE which diminishes the benefits of LHCE. In addition, it is evident that the diluent has significant influence on the electrode/electrolyte interphases (EEIs) beyond retaining the high-concentration solvation structures. Diluent molecules surrounding the high-concentration clusters could accelerate or decelerate the anion decomposition through coparticipation of diluent decomposition in the EEI formation. The varied interphase features lead to significantly different battery performance. This study points out the importance of diluents and their synergetic effects with the conductive salt and the solvating solvent in designing LHCEs. These systematic comparisons and fundamental insights into LHCEs using different types of fluorinated solvents can guide further development of advanced electrolytes for high-voltage LMBs.

The benefits of using CO2 in polymer synthesis are numerous, ranging from environmental responsibility to improved materials properties. Carbon dioxide is an inert, nontoxic, nonflammable, and inexpensive reaction and processing medium that is an environmentally benign alternative to the organic solvents or water typically used today. Although the often toxic, carcinogenic, and environmentally hazardous organic solvents are recycled, some release to the environment is inevitable. Replacement of organic solvents with water still requires the costly purification of the wastewater prior to disposal and/or an energy-intensive drying process to remove the water. On the other hand, CO2 can be easily separated from other chemical components and recycled through depressurization and recompression. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the CO2 used as a solvent does not contribute to the greenhouse gases since it is acquired from natural reservoirs or recovered as a by-product from other industrial chemical processes. The more specific environmental benefits of using liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent vary depending on the polymerization being considered. The synthesis of fluoropolymers in CO2 is of particular interest since these polymers have historically been prepared in chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other fluorinated solvents, as well as in water. Due to the association of CFCs with ozone-layer depletion, these solvents have been banned and replacement solvents must be found. Alternative fluorinated solvents are expensive and also have environmental concerns. In heterogeneous polymerizations, many polymer latexes produced by emulsion or dispersion polymerization in water or organic solvents can be produced in CO2. To eliminate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, more polymer latexes are being synthesized in water. However, for dry polymer applications, the latexes must undergo energy-intensive drying by vacuum or heat to remove the water. For polymer latexes produced in CO2, there are no VOC emissions and the energy-intensive drying step can be significantly reduced since the CO2 has a much lower heat of vaporization in the liquid state and, in fact, has a zero heat of vaporization in the supercritical state. Additionally, the polymer can be shipped dry at 100% solids, thus saving energy and money in shipping the heavy water latex.
