Abstract
Methyl acetate (MA) is a suitable solvent for low-temperature electrolyte solutions, but its poor stability against lithium metal is a big problem. Herein, a simple and cheap solution of LiPF6 dissolved in MA was successfully employed for Li4Ti5O12/graphite dual-ion batteries (DIBs). This cell has a long cycle life with 93.1% capacity retention after 1000 cycles. Moreover, it has superior performance at low temperatures (-40 °C) compared to other reported DIBs. The storage behavior of PF6- solvated by MA in graphite cathode has been investigated in detail by in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) in combination with electrochemical dilatometry (ECD).
