TL;DR: In this article, an approach that improves the stability of non-flammable phosphate electrolytes by adjusting the molar ratio of Li salt to solvent was proposed. But their compatibility with electrode materials, especially graphite anodes, remains an obstacle owing to the strong catalytic activity of the anode surfaces.

TL;DR: In this article, the reductive stability of nonflammable electrolytes with a wide salt to solvent ratio range was investigated and it was shown that an ion-solvent-coordinated (ISC) non-flammable electrolyte-lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI)-triethylphosphate (TEP) enables dendrite-free Li metal plating/stripping on the Cu electrode with a high CCE of 99.3% up to 350 cycles.

TL;DR: A safer sodium‐ion battery is proposed by introducing a nonflammable phosphate electrolyte (trimethyl phosphate, TMP) coupled with NaNi0.35Mn0.3O2 cathode and TMP + 10 vol% FEC electrolyte, which works very well with considerable capacity and cyclability, demonstrating a promising prospect to build safer Sodium‐ion batteries for large‐scale energy storage applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the safety of lithium ion batteries using nonflammable phosphonate electrolyte, thermal-stable LiFePO 4 cathode and alloy anodes was investigated.
