Fig. 3: Decoupled electrolyte design.
From: Boosting a practical lithium carbon dioxide battery through a decoupled electrolyte
a Radar plot evaluating the key properties of co-solvent candidates, including coordination ability with cations (|ESPmin|−ESPmax, eV), CO2 solubility (the interaction energies for CO2:solvent complexes, eV), oxidation potential (Ar), volatility, and flashing point. The detailed values are provided in Supplementary Table 1. b Comparison of the |ESPmin|−ESPmax value for DMF and co-solvent candidates, including TEGDME, DMI, DMA, and DMSO. The carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, and hydrogen atoms are marked as light blue, red, navy, yellow, and white, respectively. c Comparison of ionic conductivity of the decoupled electrolyte and previously reported battery electrolytes. The decoupled electrolyte, composed of TEGDME and DMF in volume ratios of 3:7, exhibits higher ionic conductivity compared to the others. The detailed values are provided in Supplementary Table 2.
