Effective passivation of a high-voltage positive electrode by 5-hydroxy-1H-indazole additives†
Abstract
5-Hydroxy-1H-indazole (HI) is investigated as an effective film-forming additive for an over-lithiated layered oxide (OLO) positive electrode. The protective film that is generated by oxidative decomposition of the additive (HI) prior to the carbonate electrolyte is thin and less resistive. As a result, a full cell comprised of OLO/graphite in the HI-added electrolyte gives a better cycling performance.
