摘要
Enabling lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)to operate in a wider temperature range,e.g.,as low or high as possible or capable of both,is an urgent need and shared goal.Here we report,for the first time,a low-temperature electrolyte consisting of traditional ethylene carbonate,methyl acetate,butyronitrile solvents,and 1 M LiPF_(6) salt,attributed to its very low freezing point(T_(f)=-126.3℃)and high ion conductivity at extremely low temperatures(0.21 m S/cm at-100℃),successfully extends the service temperature of a practical 9.6 Ah LIB down to-100℃(49.6%capacity retention compared to that at room temperature),which is the lowest temperature reported for practical cells so far as we know,and is lower than the lowest natural temperature(-89.2℃)recorded on earth.Meanwhile,the high-temperature performance of lithium-ion batteries is not affected.The capacity retention is 88.2%and 83.4%after 800 cycles at 25℃and 45℃,respectively.The progress also makes LIB a proper power supplier for space vehicles in astronautic explorations.
