The energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is primarily determined by the working potential of devices and the specific capacity of cathode compounds. Carbonate-based electrolytes have received considerable attention due to their significance for advancing current cell-assembly process. However, the commercially available liquid LiPF(6) based electrolytes cannot withstand the harsh high-voltage environment and the effects of cathode, due to issues such as the undesired oxidative decomposition of ethylene carbonate (EC), the catalytic influence of dissolved transition metal ions (TMs), ...
