Journal ArticleDOI

High rate and stable cycling of lithium metal anode

TL;DR: It is reported that the use of highly concentrated electrolytes composed of ether solvents and the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt enables the high-rate cycling of a lithium metal anode at high Coulombic efficiency (up to 99.1%) without dendrite growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Failure Mechanism for Fast‐Charged Lithium Metal Batteries with Liquid Electrolytes

TL;DR: In this article, it is demonstrated that at high current density, a highly resistive solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) entangled with Li metal, which grows towards the bulk Li, dramatically increases up the cell impedance and this is the actual origin of the onset of cell degradation and failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ionic liquids to the rescue? Overcoming the ionic conductivity limitations of polymer electrolytes

TL;DR: In this article, the incorporation of salts molten at room temperature (room temperature ionic liquids or RTILs) into polymer electrolytes may be the necessary solution to overcoming the inherent ionic conductivity limitations of ‘dry’ polymer electrolyte.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anode-Free Rechargeable Lithium Metal Batteries

TL;DR: In this article, an anode-free rechargeable lithium battery based on a Cu||LiFePO4 cell structure with an extremely high Coulombic efficiency (>99.8%) is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ionic liquids behave as dilute electrolyte solutions

TL;DR: The results indicate that ionic liquids screen charged surfaces through the formation of both bound (Stern) and diffuse electric double layers, where the diffuse double layer is comprised of effectively dissociated ionic liquid ions.
