The progress in exploration of organosiloxane used in the electrolyte to improve the lithium batteries' safety performance

Organosiloxane has a high-temperature resistant and stable character which was the result of its structure. Introducing organosiloxane into the electrolyte of lithium batteries, the safety performance will be improved significantly. In this paper, recent research progress on application of organosiloxane in polymer electrolyte and liquid electrolyte is systematically reviewed, including serving as the component of polymer electrolyte, as well as solvent or additives in liquid electrolyte. Besides, the results of our research team focus on the exploration of new organosiloxane compounds for Li-ion batteries electrolyte in late years are elaborated. Furthermore, the current problems and the corresponding research directions are also discussed.
