High-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are at the forefront of advancing green energy solutions and transforming energy storage technologies. These batteries are particularly sought after due to their exceptional energy capacity and potential to replace conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, despite their promise, the challenges associated with lithium metal anodes (LMA) remain significant hurdles that researchers must overcome. The use of conventional ester-based electrolytes, which have high oxidation windows, often leads to unstable electrode interfaces. This instability results in rapid capacity decay and the perilous growth of lithium dendrites, which can severely impair battery performance and safety.
Addressing the inherent issues related to lithium metal anodes is vital for harnessing the full potential of LMBs. One of the fundamental strategies being pursued is the modification of electrolytes to better…
