A liquefied gas electrolyte to create temperature-resilient lithium-metal batteries

Lithium Ion-based batteries are among the most effective and widely used battery technologies. However, the batteries' electrolytes mainly contain organic carbonated solvents, which are considered highly flammable with a narrow temperature window. To ensure that they don't catch fire while operating at extreme temperatures, engineers must design safer electrolytes that are not only non-flammable, but also able to operate at a wide temperature range.
