Lithium-based batteries (LiBs) have become increasingly important in modern society, as cutting-edge portable energy storage systems and as a crucial component in the energy revolution. However, they still face challenges such as safety concerns, capacity degradation, and the ever-growing demand for higher energy density. To address these issues, researchers have turned their attention to fluorinated organic compounds (FOCs) as part of LiBs electrolytes. These substances, closely related to per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), have shown great potential in optimizing LiBs. Specifically, their strong fluorine-carbon bond offers enhanced oxidative and chemical resistance. Nevertheless, their environmental impact is a cause for concern. Fluorinated organics can persist in the environment or can lead to the formation of persistent end-products, which accumulate and contribute to global health problems.
To study the fate of fluorinated organic electrolytes in different environmental and application scenarios, a range of simulation methods are employed, including the TOP (Total Oxidizable Precursor) Assay, electrochemistry, photo-induced degradation, and cycling of self-assembled coin cells prepared with FOCs. Transformation products (TP) are identified using gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (GC/LC-HRMS).
