Copyright © 2018, arXiv, All rights reserved. To elucidate the role of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) as an additive in the standard carbonate-based electrolyte for Li-ion batteries, the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed during electrochemical cycling on silicon anodes was analyzed with a combination of solution and solid-state NMR techniques, including dynamic nuclear polarization. To facilitate characterization via 1D and 2D NMR, we synthesized 13C-enriched FEC, ultimately allowing a detailed structural assignment of the organic SEI. We find that the soluble PEO-like linear oligomeric electrolyte breakdown products that are observed after cycling in the standard ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolyte are suppressed in the presence of 10 vol % FEC additive. FEC is first defluorinated to form soluble vinylene carbonate and vinoxyl species, which react to form both soluble and insoluble branched ethylene-oxide based polymers. No evidence for branched polymers are observed in the absence of FEC.
