The electrochemical properties of the interface between the spinel LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4- δ   (LNMO 4- δ  ) cathodes and ethylene carbonate−dimethyl carbonate (EC-DMC) electrolyte containing 1 M of LiPF 6  have been investigated to achieve high-voltage durability of LNMO 4- δ  /graphite full cells. Coating the LNMO 4- δ   crystal surface by a fluoroalkylsilane self-assembled monolayer with a thickness below 2 nm resulted in a capacity retention of 94% after 100 cycles at a rate of 1 C and suppression of capacity fading for both the cathode and anode of the full cell. The observed effect is likely caused by the inhibited oxidative decomposition of EC−DMC electrolyte and vinylene carbonate (VC) species at the LNMO 4- δ   crystal surface and formation of a stable VC solid electrolyte interface near the anode. Moreover, the results obtained via photoelectron spectroscopy and density-functional calculations revealed that the increase in the work function of the LNMO 4- δ   crystal surface due to the formation of Si−O−Mn species primary contributed to the inhibition of the oxidative decomposition of the electrolyte and VC molecules at the cathode/electrolyte interface.
