ACHIEVING SAFE AND STABLE ANODES FOR LI ION, LI-S AND LI-AIR BATTERIES: ENHANCED LI ⁺-SOLVENT COORDINATION IN ELECTROLYTES

摘要

Lithium batteries, electrolytes configured for use in lithium batteries, and methods of preparing stable lithium batteries are provided. The electrolyte includes a lithium ion source, an ether-based solvent, and an inorganic salt represented by the formula MA, wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Al³⁺, and A is selected from the group consisting of F^-, Cl^-, Br^-, I^-, NO₃^-, SO₄^2-, CO₃^2-, and PO₄^3-. In this regard, the inorganic salt provides coordination cores for lithium ion aggregation.
