Electrolyte engineering via ether solvent fluorination for developing stable non-aqueous lithium metal batteries

Fluorination of solvents, useful for non-aqueous lithium-based batteries, improves the electrochemical stability but decreases the ionic conductivity. Here, the authors report a targeted functionalization of an ether solvent to balance the electrolyte ionic conductivity and oxidative stability.
