Abstract

We report the relation between the structural and electrochemical properties of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)-based electrolytes containing lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (LiTFSA) in the concentration range cLi = 0–3.2 mol dm–3. Raman spectroscopy and DFT calculations indicate that Li+ ions are solvated by DMF molecules in the form of [Li(DMF)4]+ complexes at low cLi ( 2.5 mol dm–3. The high cLi solutions, in which all the DMF molecules solvate to Li+ ions (i.e., no DMF remains in the bulk), make the electrochemical window wider; the oxidative stability is enhanced owing to lower HOMO energy le...
