Starving Free Solvents: Immiscible Binary Liquid Electrolytes for Li-Metal Cells

Starving Free Solvents: Immiscible Binary Liquid Electrolytes for Li-Metal Cells

【Research Background】 Lithium metal batteries are one of the development directions for high specific energy batteries, attracting significant attention in both academia and industry. However, it is commonly believed that lithium metal electrolytes with excellent performance should use single-phase electrolytes, which often conflicts with the different properties of the anode and cathode. Therefore, the rational … Read more

Competitive Solvation of Ternary Eutectic Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries

【Research Background】 Replacing graphite anodes with lithium metal anodes (theoretical specific capacity of 3860 mA h g–1) is considered one of the most attractive ways to improve battery energy density. The electrolyte plays an important role in insulating electrons but conducting ions between the electrodes, thus promoting battery performance. With the rapid development of electrochemical … Read more
