Effects of different electrode materials on the performance of lithium tetrafluorooxalatophosphate (LiFOP) electrolyte

► New salt for lithium ion battery electrolytes was investigated. ► New electrolytes improve lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles. ► Surface analysis of the electrodes after cycling was conducted. ► LiPF4(C2O4) electrolytes are an alternative to state-of-art LiPF6 electrolytes.
