title: Spontaneous aggregation of lithium ion coordination polymers in fluorinated electrolytes for high-voltage batteries.
abstract: Fluorinated carbonates are pursued as liquid electrolyte solvents for high-voltage Li-ion batteries. Here we report aggregation of [Li(+)(FEC)3]n polymer species in fluoroethylene carbonate containing electrolytes and scrutinize the causes for this behavior.
