Article Synopsis
  • Aprotic lithium-air batteries are gaining attention for their high specific energy, but instability of the electrolyte poses major challenges.
  • A mixed electrolyte combining sulfolane (TMS) and dimethylacetamide (DMA) was tested to improve stability and conductivity of lithium ions.
  • The optimized mixture (DMA/TMS = 20:80) demonstrated lower viscosity, higher ionic conductivity, better stability, and enhanced battery performance, including longer cycle life and reduced charge overpotential compared to single-solvent electrolytes.
