Lu et al. demonstrated that at a charge rate of 0.2 C, a graphite anode in an electrolyte with 25% TFENH maintained 92% of room-temperature capacity at -50 °C.
“Lu et al. also explored electrochemical performance of a graphite anode at different subzero temperatures in an electrolyte with 25% TFENH as cosolvent, and demonstrated that at a relatively higher charge rate of 0.2 C, the graphite anode maintained 92% of RT capacity at -50 °C.”
From Review on Low-Temperature Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Lithium Metal Batteries (2023) · cites this paper as [70]
The enhanced performance with TFENH is attributed to the formation of a thin and stable SEI on the graphite surface that reduces charge transfer resistance.
“Such enhanced performance is attributed to the formation of a thin and stable SEI on the surface of graphite to reduce charge transfer resistance [70].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
