Abstract

Electrolyte engineering is considered as an effective strategy to establish stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI), and thus to suppress the growth of lithium dendrites. In a recent study reported in Advanced Functional Materials by Ma group, discovered that strong coordination force could be founded between 15-Crown-5 ether (15-C-5) and Li+, which facilitates the crown ether (15-C-1) to participate in the solvation structure of Li+ in the electrolyte for the same purpose. Such a novel strategy might impact the design of high-performance and safe lithium metal batteries (LMBs).

Highlights

  • Electrolyte engineering is considered as an effective strategy to establish stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and to suppress the growth of lithium dendrites

  • A recent study reported in Advanced Functional Materials by Ma’ group, discovered that strong coordination force could be founded between 15-Crown-5 ether (15-C-5) and ­Li+, which facilitate the crown ether (15-C-1) to participate in the solvation structure of ­Li+ in the electrolyte for the same purpose

  • Some functional additives that could coordinate with L­ i+ are introduced in liquid electrolytes, which are beneficial to the construction of stable SEI film [5]
