In situ polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane and formation of fluorine/boron-rich interfaces enabled by film-forming additives for long-life lithium metal batteries

full cell enables a capacity retention of 98.64% after 300 cycles at 1C and a capacity retention of 95.39% after 200 cycles at a high temperature (60 °C). At the same time, this electrolyte is also suitable for the Li‖NCM523 full cell, which also achieves excellent stability of more than 180 cycles. This film-forming Lewis acid additive provides ideas for designing low-cost, high-performance PDOL-based lithium metal batteries.
