Solvation-Equilibrium Locking Enables Ultrawide-Temperature Operation of High-Voltage Lithium-Metal Batteries.
High-energy lithium metal batteries are promising for space, polar, deep-sea, and other extreme environments, but their operation is constrained by temperature-sensitive ion transport, Li+ solvation, and interfacial chemistry. A solvation-equilibrium-locked electrolyte (SELE) is reported by combining dimethyl sulfite (...
