Provided herein are solvents for an electrolyte of a battery comprising fluorinated compounds of the present disclosure, batteries comprising: an anode structure including an anode current collector, a cathode structure including a cathode current collecto...

The present embodiments relate generally to stable cycling of metallic lithium under high current densities and realistic cell conditions based on a flower-like nanostructured hard carbon host (CF). In embodiments, CF is both intercalated with lithium ions...

A salt-philic solvent-phobic (SP2) polymer coating on a lithium anode, sodium anode, or a silicon anode selectively transports salt over solvent and is configured to promote salt-derived SEI formation on the anode. The SP2 coating can include a polymer bac...
