The high-voltage spinel LiNiMnO (LNMO) cathode material with high energy density, low cost, and excellent rate capability has grabbed the attention of the field. However, a high-voltage platform at 4.7 V causes severe oxidative side reactions when in contact with the organic electrolyte, leading to poor electrochemical performance.

However, oxidative products of organic molecules receive less scientific concerns. In this study, hydroquinone (HQ) was used as a representative organic compound to determine the redox reactions with Cr(VI) and the concomitant oxidative products.
