Enhancing the energy output of batteries in low temperatures is critical to broadening the application areas of advanced electronic devices, which can be accomplished by utilizing high-voltage cathodes to match lithium metal anode, optimizing electrolyte electrochemical windows and forming stable solid electrolyte interphases to provide facile ion-transmission kinetics at low temperature. Herein, we demonstrate a fluorinated ester co-solvent electrolyte, which applies 1 M LiPF6 in an ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro butyrate/fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) (4/1 by volume ratio) that jointly satisfies high voltage cathode and lithium metal anode reversibility at required ambient. The performance of the battery is due to the rapid dissociation of Li+ and the formation of a fluorine-rich inorganic electrolyte interface in the fluorinated solvent. Therefore, the fluorinated ester co-solvent electrolyte system can provide 209.9 mAh g−1, 194.8 mAh g−1, and 175.5 mAh g−1 when discharged at room temperature, −20 ℃ and −40 ℃, respectively, those far exceeds the performance of carbonate electrolytes. This work advances the development of low-temperature lithium metal batteries.
