    摘要: A nonflammable electrolyte comprises (a) at least four different salts; and a solvent comprising >50 vol % to 100 vol % of a flame retardant compound and optionally a cosolvent, wherein ((i) each salt comprises an anion with a different chemical composition than an anion of each of the other salts, (ii) cations of each of the salts are the same, the cations comprising lithium cations, sodium cations, or potassium cations, and (iii) a concentration of each of the salts is 5 mol % of a total molar concentration of the salts in the electrolyte; or (b) a difluoro(oxalato)borate or bis(oxalato)borate salt wherein a concentration of the salt is 40 mol % to 100 mol % of a total molar concentration of salts in the electrolyte, and a solvent comprising a flame retardant compound comprising an organic phosphate and a cosolvent comprising an organic carbonate solvent.

    摘要: A lithium metal pouch cell having a specific energy ≥300 Wh·kg−1 includes an anode comprising lithium metal and an anode current collector, the anode having an areal capacity N (mAh·cm−2); a cathode comprising a cathode material and a cathode current collector, the cathode having an a real capacity P (mAh·cm−2), wherein a ratio of N/P is within a range of 0.02 to 5; an electrolyte having an electrolyte mass E and comprising a lithium active salt and a solvent, the lithium metal pouch cell having an electrolyte mass to cell capacity (E/C) ratio within a range of 1 to 6 g·Ah−1; a separator positioned between the anode and the cathode; and a packaging material defining a pouch enclosing the anode, cathode, electrolyte, and separator; wherein a protruding tab of the anode current collector and a protruding tab of the cathode current collector are external to the pouch.
