Miniature Li<sup>+</sup> solvation by symmetric molecular design for practical and safe Li-metal batteries
Nature Energy, Published online: 06 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41560-025-01733-9Developing safe, fast-recharging Li-metal batteries is challenging due to the need for stable, non-flammable electrolytes. This study presents an electrolyte design using miniature anion–Li+ solvation structures, achieving high conductivity, stable cycling and improved safety.
