Stabilizing polymer electrolytes in high-voltage lithium batteries

Here the authors use cationic chain transfer agents to prevent degradation of ether electrolytes by arresting uncontrolled polymer growth at the anode. This work provides a fundamental strategy for extending the high voltage stability of these electrolytes to potentials above conventionally accepted...
