Variant-Localized High-Concentration Electrolyte without Phase Separation for Low-Temperature Batteries.

Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) present great application potential in low-temperature energy storage scenarios due to their unique dual-ion working mechanism. However, at low temperatures, the insufficient electrochemical oxidation stability of electrolytes and depressed interfacial compatibility impair the DIB performance. Here, we design a variant-localized high-concentration solvation structure for universal low-temperature electrolytes (ν-LHCE) without the phase separation via introducing an extremely weak-solvating solvent with low energy levels.
