Watermelon-like solvation structure enables ultra-low-concentration electrolytes for high-rate and low-temperature lithium metal batteries.

Electrolyte engineering is crucial for developing high-rate and low-temperature lithium-metal batteries. Conventional carbonate-based electrolytes have achieved broad success in commercial batteries, but their high freezing point, high viscosity, and strong Li+ solvation ability severely limit Li+ transport and interfa...
