Lithium nitrate regulated carbonate electrolytes for practical Li-metal batteries: Mechanisms, principles and strategies

This review unravels the grievances between LMA, LiNO3 and carbonate electrolytes, and enables a comprehensive analysis of LMA stabilizing mechanism with LiNO3, dissolution principle of LiNO3 in carbonate electrolytes, and LiNO3 introduction strategies. This review converges attention on a point that the LiNO3-introduction into commercial carbonate electrolytes is an imperious choice to realize practical LMBs with commercial 4 V layered cathode.
