Fluorinated Electrolyte Technology for EV Batteries
Modern electric vehicle batteries operate at increasingly higher voltages—typically above 4.3V—to achieve greater energy density, but conventional carbonate-based electrolytes break down at these potentials. When pushed beyond stability limits, electrolytes decompose and form resistive films that impede lithium transport, leading to capacity fade rates exceeding 20% after just 100 cycles at elevated temperatures.
The fundamental challenge lies in developing electrolyte systems that remain stable at high voltages while maintaining the ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility needed for practical EV operation.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including fluorinated cyclic carbonates that enhance voltage stability, fluoroalkyl borate compounds that suppress dendrite formation, and fluorinated ether additives that improve high-temperature performance. These and other approaches focus on achieving the stability and longevity required for next-generation EV batteries operating above 5V.

The optimized PVDF-HFP structure with lower crystallinity further enhances conductivity. The improved solid electrolyte is used in all-solid-state batteries with high cycle performance and specific capacity.
