Recently, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used as high energy density sources in many consumer electronics as well as electric vehicles.
Impedance growth and capacity loss of lithium-ion batteries at elevated temperatures are still problems for obtaining high energy density sources.

However, after 100 cycles, its cell system only shows capacity retention of no more than 75%, even no more than 60% (vide figure 3 and figure 4 of US2005/0019670).
Thus, there is a need to provide lithium-ion batteries having higher capacity retention at elevated temperature. The present invention provides a solution for excellent capacity retention after 1 ,000 cycles.

wherein each R1 to R5 is independently H or C1 -C10 alkyl, each Ari to Ar3 is independently aryl.
The invention also provides a method for preparing such lithium-ion battery, the method comprises the steps of:

(2) performing initial formation charge below a voltage of 3.9V.
It is found that the present lithium-ion batteries have good capacity retention at relative high temperature after 1 ,000 cycles.
