Highlights FGN-182 electrolytes exhibit highly reversible Li plating/stripping with an average Coulombic efficiency reaching up to 99.56% determined from Auerbach’s test. The gas-evolution process of LiNO3 in high-voltage lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathodes is revealed by in situ differential electrochemical mass spectrometry. Pouch cells equipped with high-loading LCO (3 mAh cm−2) cathodes, ultrathin Li chips (25 μm), and lean electrolytes (5 g Ah−1) using optimized electrolyte (FGN-182 + 1%HTCN) demonstrate outstanding cycling performance.
