Stable Cycling of High-Voltage Lithium Metal Batteries in Ether Electrolytes

Abstract

The development of functional electrolytes that are stable with both the lithium (Li) anode and the 4-V cathode is of significant importance to enable long-term cycling stability of high-voltage Li metal batteries. Due to their limited oxidative stability (90% over 300 cycles with a charge cut-off voltage of 4.3 V. This study offers a promising approach to enabling ether electrolytes for high-voltage applications, expanding a new spectrum of solvent choices for high-voltage Li metal batteries.
