Abstract:Poor oxidation stability of ether solvents at the cathode restricts the use of dilute ether electrolytes with conventional concentrations around 1 M in high-voltage lithium metal batteries. Here we develop an anion-adsorption approach to altering the ether solvent environment within the electrical double layer (EDL) at the cathode, by adding a small amount of nitrate, so that the oxidation tolerance of nitrate-containing dilute ether electrolytes is enhanced up to 4.4 V (versus Li/Li+), leading to complete com… Show more
