Rechargeable batteries are one of the crucial ways we are going to
solve the sustainable energy crisis. Lithium-ion batteries have
been commercialised and are heavily relied upon, however, the
scarcity of lithium resources increases the production cost and
hinders further application. Additionally, the toxic and flammable
electrolyte brings many potential safety hazards including
environmental pollution. Looking for low-cost, safe, and
environmentally friendly alternatives to LIBs has become a valuable
research direction. The modification of batteries is focused on the
anode, the cathode and electrolyte. Globally, researchers have
moved onto new rechargeable batteries based on multivalent metal
ions which have been extensively studied, including K+, Ca2+, Mg2+
and Al3+. However, the electrolyte is a very important component of
a battery as its physical and chemical properties directly affect
the electrochemical performance and energy storage mechanism.
Finding and selecting an appropriate electrolyte system is a
crucial factor that must be taken into account to make these
post-lithium-ion batteries commercially viable. Until now, it has
been challenging to develop a suitable electrolyte with a wide
electrochemical stability window and stable anode interface. This
book covers all the major ion-battery groups and their
electrolytes, examining their performance and suitability in
different solvents; aqueous, non-aqueous, solid gel and polymer. It
is suitable for all levels of students and researchers who want to
understand the fundamentals and future challenges of developing
electrolytes.
