Less water, more stability: a new pathway for aqueous batteries
One of the most important components of Li-ion batteries is the electrolyte, which consists of a salt dissolved in organic solvents. However, these solvents are toxic, environmentally harmful, and flammable. To address this issue, researchers are developing aqueous batteries. Yet, the low electrochemical stability of water (1.23 V in theory) limits the operating voltage of…
