Design Logic Flow of Fluorinated EC 3.1. Design Logic Flow of Fluorinated EC EC is a cyclic ester molecule typically used in electrolyte solvents. In this study, first, EC is a cyclic ester molecule typically used in electrolyte solvents. In this study, first, five configurations of fluorinated EC, namely EC, FEC, trans-difluoroethylene carbonates five configurations of fluorinated EC, namely EC, FEC, trans-difluoroethylene carbonates (trans-DFEC), cis-difluoroethylene carbonates (cis-DFEC), trifluoroethylene carbonate (tri- (trans-DFEC), cis-difluoroethylene carbonates (cis-DFEC), trifluoroethylene carbonate (tri- FEC), and tetrafluoroethylene carbonate (tetra-FEC) were developed as solvent molecules.

Because of the symmetry of EC molecules, two configurations were obtained when fluori- Because of the symmetry of EC molecules, two configurations were obtained when flu- nated with two -CF1 to obtain DFEC: trans (two F atoms on each side) and cis (two F atoms orinated with two -CF1 to obtain DFEC: trans (two F atoms on each side) and cis (two F on the same side), respectively, as illustrated in Figure 7a. Next, the RESP charge, HOMO– atoms on the same side), respectively, as illustrated in Figure 7a. Next, the RESP charge, LUMO, and electron affinity potentials of EC and fluorinated EC were calculated. Na-ion HOMO–LUMO, and electron affinity potentials of EC and fluorinated EC were calculated. was introduced, and the electrolyte system consisting of EC and fluorinated EC molecules Na-ion was introduced, and the electrolyte system consisting of EC and fluorinated EC with Na-ion (Figure 7b) was constructed.

Design Logic Flow of Fluorinated DME 3.2. Design Logic Flow of Fluorinated DME To improve the cycling performance of SIBs, three fluorinated units, -CF , -CF , and To improve the cycling performance of SIBs, three fluorinated units, -CF1, -CF2, and 1 2 -CF , of various combinations were suspended on the alkyl chain of DME. To ensure the -CF3, of various c3ombinations were suspended on the alkyl chain of DME. To ensure the solvated ability of Na-ion in ether solvents, we avoided directly connecting the fluorinated units to O atoms but suspended them to C atoms on the alkyl chain. Na-ion can combine with O atoms to form solvated sheaths, and fluorination decreases the charge on O and enhances the solvated ability of DME [47]. For DME fluorinated with one of the -CF1, -CF2, u
