Abstract

Lithium oxalate (Li2C2O4) is an attractive cathode pre-lithiation additive for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), but its application is hindered by its high decomposition potential (>4.7 V). Due to the liquid-solid synergistic effect of the NaNO2 additive and the LiNi0.83Co0.07Mn0.1O2 (NCM) cathode material, the decomposition efficiency of micro-Li2C2O4 reaches 100% at a low charge cutoff voltage of 4.3 V. Our work boosts the widespread practical application of Li2C2O4 by a simple and promising electrolyte-assisted cathode pre-lithiation strategy.
