Fluorinated ether electrolyte with controlled solvation structure for high voltage lithium metal batteries

The development of lithium-metal batteries is limited by the low thermodynamic and/or low voltage stability of conventional electrolytes. Here, the authors combined the high voltage stability of fluorinated ethers with high Li+ solvation ability of ethers in a single molecule and realized highly sta...

Description
Summary:The development of lithium-metal batteries is limited by the low thermodynamic and/or low voltage stability of conventional electrolytes. Here, the authors combined the high voltage stability of fluorinated ethers with high Li+ solvation ability of ethers in a single molecule and realized highly stable lithium-metal batteries.
