An improved N-N dimethylacetamide-based non-flammable molecular crowding electrolyte using NaOTf for cobalt-based prussian blue//hard carbon aqueous solution battery.

Aqueous sodium-ion batteries (ASIBs) are promising for large-scale electrical energy storage (LSEES) applications due to their cost and safety advantages. However, the low voltage stabilization window of water (∼1.23 V) and the lack of cathode with high specific capacity and long cycle life have limited their development.
