LiNix Coy Mnz O2 (x+y+z=1)||graphite lithium-ion battery (LIB) chemistry promises practical applications. However, its low-temperature (≤ -20 °C) performance is poor because the increased resistance encountered by Li+ transport in and across the bulk electrolytes and the electrolyte/electrode interphases induces capacity loss and battery failures. Though tremendous efforts have been made, there is still no effective way to reduce the charge transfer resistance (Rct ) which dominates low-temperature LIBs performance. Herein, we propose a strategy of using low-polarity-solvent electrolytes which have weak interactions between the solvents and the Li+ to reduce Rct , achieving facile Li+ transport at sub-zero temperatures. The exemplary electrolyte enables LiNi0.8 Mn0.1 Co0.1 O2 ||graphite cells to deliver a capacity of ≈113 mAh g-1 (98 % full-cell capacity) at 25 °C and to remain 82 % of their room-temperature capacity at -20 °C without lithium plating at 1/3C. They also retain 84 % of their capacity at -30 °C and 78 % of their capacity at -40 °C and show stable cycling at 50 °C.
