A new self-cleaning salt molecule to improve the performance of lithium metal batteries

Lithium (Li) metal batteries, batteries that contain a metallic Li-based anode, are currently used to power a wide range of electronic devices. Most of these batteries contain carbonate-based electrolytes, which are unable to passivate the corrosion of the lithium anode, causing the substantial growth of dendrites and limiting a cell's cycling life.
