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.
