Lithium-ion batteries are widely implemented as energy storage devices due to their high energy density and low cost. They enabled modern portable electronics and electric ve-hicles, and are key to manage the integration of intermittent renewable electrici ...
Water-in-salt electrolytes have enabled the development of novel high-voltage aqueous lithium-ion batteries. This study explores the reasons why analogous sodium electrolytes have struggled to reach the same level of electrochemical stability. Solution str ...
The water-in-salt approach has expanded the electrochemical stability window of aqueous electrolytes, enabling novel aqueous batteries with relatively high cell voltages and energy densities. However, the stability of these electrolytes tends to be overest ...
Designing solid electrolytes for all-solid-state-batteries that can withstand the extreme electrochemical conditions in contact with an alkali metal anode and a high-voltage cathode is challenging, especially when the battery is cycled beyond 4 V. Here we ...
The discovery of enhanced electrochemical stability for aqueous electrolytes with very high salt concentration has stimulated the development of high-voltage aqueous batteries. We show that a key factor limiting the applicability of these batteries is the ...
Through a combination of bulk, interface, and interphase effects, water-in-salt electrolytes, employing a high salt concentration, offer a wider electrochemical stability window than traditional dilute aqueous electrolytes. Here we explore chemical stabili ...
Salts with asymmetric (fluorosulfonyl)(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (FTFSI) anions have recently been shown to suppress crystallization of water-in-salt electrolytes, enabling low-temperature operation of high-voltage aqueous rechargeable batteries. To c ...
Sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide based aqueous electrolytes exhibit a wide electrochemical stability window of up to 2.6 V when the water-to-salt molar ratio falls below 2:1, enabling the fabrication of high-voltage rechargeable aqueous sodium-ion batteries ...
