a ESP of different C-2Cl diluents and the coordination structures of Li+ with different C-2Cl diluents. Color code: C-dark gray, H-white, Cl-green. b RDF curves of Li-Cl coordination in electrolytes with different C-2Cl diluents. c Percentages of different C-2Cl structures in different electrolytes obtained by MD simulations. We define the error bar as the difference between the maximum and minimum in the three data statistics. d Δδ of C-Cl characteristic peaks in different electrolytes obtained by FTIR. e Δδ of Li+ characteristic peaks in different electrolytes obtain by 7Li NMR. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
