An efficient, safe lithium-ion oxygen battery is formed by combining an oxygen cathode and a lithium-alloy anode in a glyme-based ionic liquid-containing electrolyte.
The chemical reactivity of silicon surface species with LiPF6/carbonate electrolyte are detailed via FTIR spectroscopy and verified by MD/DFPD simulations.
A novel Al-ion battery based on an Al alloy anode, pyrolytic graphite paper cathode, and low-cost AlCl3–urea liquid analogue electrolyte was successfully established. The present Al alloy/PG battery can afford a capacity as high as 105 mA h g−1.
