AI Article Synopsis

  • - A new type of "water-in-salt" electrolyte has been created using UV photopolymerized acrylic polymers.
  • - This new electrolyte formulation decreases water activity and increases the electrochemical stability window to 4.1 V.
  • - The research shows that it significantly enhances the cycle life of full cells using lithium titanate anodes compared to traditional liquid water-based electrolytes.

Article Abstract

We report the development of a new class of "water-in-salt" electrolytes based on UV photopolymerized acrylic polymers. Incorporation of "water-in-bisalt" in a polymer matrix reduces water activity, expands the electrochemical stability window to 4.1 V, and dramatically improves cycle life in full cells with lithium titanate anodes compared to liquid water-based electrolytes.
