Primary Li-SO2 batteries offer a high energy density in a wide operating temperature range with exceptionally long shelf life and have thus been frequently used in military and aerospace applications. Although these batteries have never been demonstrated as a rechargeable system, herein, we show that the reversible formation of Li2S2O4, the major discharge product of Li-SO2 battery, is possible with a remarkably smaller charging polarization than that of a Li-O2 battery without the use of catalysts. The rechargeable Li-SO2 battery can deliver approximately 5400 mAh g(-1) at 3.1 V, which is slightly higher than the performance of a Li-O2 battery. In addition, the Li-SO2 battery can be operated with the aid of a redox mediator, exhibiting an overall polarization of less than 0.3 V, which results in one of the highest energy efficiencies achieved for Li-gas battery systems.

Rechargeable Li-SO batteries offer low-cost, high-energy density benefits and can leverage manufacturing processes for the existing primary version at a commercial scale. However, they have so far only been demonstrated in an "open-system" with continuous gas supply, preventing practical application. Here, the utilization and reversibility of SO along with the lithium stability are addressed, all essential for long-life, high-energy batteries.

Article Synopsis
- Li-SO2 batteries have great energy density but pose safety risks due to pressurized SO2 and flammable solvents.
- A new ambient Li-SO2 battery utilizes ionic liquid electrolytes designed to solvate SO2 through reversible chemical absorption.
- By optimizing the interactions between the ionic liquids and SO2, the battery achieves high energy density and discharge performance with operating voltages exceeding 2.8 V, paving the way for safer, next-gen batteries.
