Correlating electrochemical performance and heat generation of Li plating for lithium-ion battery with fluoroethylene carbonate additive

1. Introduction With the superior performance of high energy density, lightweight and long life span, lithium-ion battery (LIB) are perceived as an attractive and reliable power source for modern-used portable electronics, ecofriendly electric vehicles and power distribution, and thereby a remarkable solution to assuage energy dependence on fossil fuel and environmental concern. Nevertheless, the unexpected Li plating together with the Li dendrites growth on graphite anode surface has been a profound hindrance to the practical application of LIB, of which induces inferior Coulombic efficiency, poor lifespan and safety concern [1].
