Abstract: An electrochemical cell includes a negative electrode including a metal, metal alloy, or an electrode active material that reversibly intercalates and de-intercalates cations; a positive electrode including (i) an electrode active material that reversibly intercalates and de-intercalates cations or anions, or (ii) an inert host that reversibly catalyzes an external reactant; a separator between the negative electrode and the positive electrode; and an electrolyte including one or more alcohol-based solvents, with one or more salts. The solvents may include methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, triglycerol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, an organic small molecule or macromolecule that contain at least one hydroxyl (OH) group, or a combination thereof. The electrochemical cell may include a mixture of multiple alcohol-based solvents or a mixture of the one or more alcohol-based solvents with water, mixed at select ratios. The electrochemical cell may include one or more additives having a concentration range between 0.01% to 20% by weight.

Abstract: To improve the performance of certain multivalent metal electrodes, the electrodes can be treated prior to use in an electrochemical cell by applying a solution comprising an acid to a surface of a multivalent metal electrode, then removing excess solution comprising the acid and drying the surface of the multivalent metal electrode. The resulting electrode has an outer interphase layer comprised of a hydrated hydroxychloride comprising the multivalent metal, where the interphase layer has a thickness of less than 5 µm.
