ConspectusLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on graphite anodes are a widely used state-of-the-art battery technology, but their energy density is approaching theoretical limits, prompting interest in lithium-metal (LMBs) that can achieve higher density. In addition, the limited availability of lithium reserves raises supply concerns; therefore, research postlithium metal underway. A major issue with these anodes, including lithium, dendritic formation and insufficient reversibility, which leads to safety risks due short circuits use flammable electrolytes.Ionic liquid electrolytes (ILEs), composed salts ionic liquids, offer safer alternative nonflammable nature high thermal stability. Moreover, they enable Coulombic efficiency (CE) for (LMAs) allow reversible stripping/plating various post-lithium metals application, e.g., aluminum (AMBs). Despite advantages, ILEs suffer from viscosity, impairs ion transport wettability. To resolve challenges, researchers have developed locally concentrated (LCILEs) by adding low-viscosity nonsolvating cosolvents, hydrofluoroether, ILEs. These cosolvents do not coordinate cationic charge carriers, thereby reducing viscosity improving without compromising compatibility anodes. However, inherent difference molecular organic solvents liquids full charged species, most i.e., less effective respect conventional solvents. hydrofluoroether contains environmentally problematic -CF3 and/or -CF2- groups, per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), subject restrictions.In this Account, we provide an overview endeavors our group development PFAS-free LCILEs high-energy LMBs AMBs.

Abstract Phosphate‐based localized high‐concentration electrolytes (LHCE) feature high flame retardant and satisfactory cathodic stability for lithium metal batteries. However, stable cycling of those at ultra‐high upper cut‐off voltages long‐term remains challenging. Herein, an ether‐modified phosphate, diethyl (2‐methoxy ethoxy) methylphosphonate (DMEP), is designed high‐voltage applications. The ether modification enhances the Li + ‐DMEP‐FSI − coordination structure, promoting formation cation‐anion aggregates (AGG) dominated solvation which favors generation LiF‐rich cathode electrolyte interphase layers compared to triethyl phosphate (TEP)‐based LHCE. Consequently, degradation, including transition‐metal dissolution electrode cracking, well‐suppressed.
