Abstract

The pursuit of high energy density has promoted the development of high-performance lithium metal batteries. However, it faces a serious security problem. Ionic liquids have attracted great attention due to their high ionic conductivity, non-flammability, and the properties of promoting the formation of stable SEI films. Deeply understanding the problems existing in lithium metal batteries and the role of ionic liquids in them is of great significance for improving the performance of lithium metal batteries. This article reviews the effects of the molecular structure of ionic liquids on ionic conductivity, Li+ ion transference number, electrochemical stability window, and lithium metal anode/electrolyte interface, as well as the application of ionic liquids in Li-high voltage cathode batteries, Li-O2 batteries and Li-S batteries. The molecular design, composition and polymerization will be the main strategies for the future development of ionic liquid-based electrolytes for high performance lithium metal battery.
