Electrolytes for high-energy lithium batteries
Most commercial secondary/rechargeable lithium batteries are based on the lithium ion cell depicted in Fig. 1.A carbonaceous material such as graphite serves as the anode and hosts lithium as LiC 6 in the charged state. A lithiated metal oxide (LiMO, e.g., LiCoO 2) cathode hosts the lithium in the discharged state.The anode and cathode are coupled …
