Abstract

Read online

Commercial electrolytes for lithium ion batteries cannot be used for current metal-gas batteries due to the instability despite various merits. Here, the authors successfully exploit a widely used carbonate-based electrolyte to boost the electrochemical performance of lithium-sulfur dioxide batteries for the first time.
