鋰鹽在鋰離子電池構成材料中，於正負極之間的電解液是扮演著讓正負極之間的鋰離子互相傳遞的重要角色。在第一次充放電之後，鋰鹽解離出的鋰離子會與碳酸跟形成固態電解液介面膜(SEI)。而 SEI 的構成與鋰鹽的化學穩定性需受控及減少SEI之不可逆反應，並抑制鋰鹽於高溫度與高電壓下的分解。
首先從研究發現，苯並咪唑鋰鹽與PF5藉由路易士酸反應形成pentafluoro-phosphate benzimidazole 離子。此pentafluoro-phosphate benzimidazole 離子能在高溫下，抑制PF5 的副反應與減少 LiF 和 HF。此外，pentafluoro-phosphate benzimidazole 離子形成新的 SEI 構成，且此新化合物能影響電池表現。
其次，本研究探討苯並咪唑鋰鹽應用於高溫與高電壓下，並藉由搭配正極材料 (Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2) LNMO 討論其苯並咪唑鋰鹽加入拉電子性後之影響。強拉電子性的加入，能平衡自由電子的高氧化反應，並提升電解液的電化學穩定性。就結果而言，不只是代換成-CF3，–H與–CH3 的加入一樣能藉由路易士酸反應在高電壓下穩定電解液。因此，透過 LNMO 與 MCMB 半電池結果顯示，強拉電子性的加入是適合於鋰離子電池。

Lithium salt plays a critical role in initiating an electrochemical reaction in lithium ion batteries. The Li single ions dissociate from salt and associate with carbonates to form a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) at the first charge-discharge of the battery. The SEI formation and salt chemical stability must be controlled and optimized mutually to minimize the irreversible reaction of the SEI, and to suppress the decomposition of the salt at high temperatures and high voltage application.
The first motivation in this research is the discovery of pentafluorophosphate benzimidazole anion, which is the product between benzimidazole and PF5 through Lewis acid base reaction. This new pentafluorophosphate benzimidazole anion inhibits the side reactions of PF5 that scavenge lone pair from SEI to minimize the LiF and HF production at high temperature. In addition, the new pentafluorophosphate benzimidazole anion also provides a new SEI formation, which fabricates a new chemical composition in affecting the battery performance.
The second motivation in this research is the discovery of lithium benzimidazole-based salt toward high temperature and voltage application. In this study, benzimidazole salts have been discussed electron withdrawing and donating effect on (Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2) LNMO cathode material. Strong electron withdrawing group subtitution formed to improve the elctrochemical stability of electrolyte, which is used to balanced the free electron escaping bonding at high anodic reaction. In terms of the result, -CF3 subtitution not only stabilize the electrolyte at high voltage operation, but also the Lewis acid base reaction is going to increase in comparison with –H and –CH3 subtitutions. Therefore, both LNMO and MCMB half cell result shows that strong electro withdrawing subtitution is appropiate to lithium ion battery.
