An exploratory study was performed in which several suitable carbonate and ether solvents were identified for a LiPF6 based electrolyte compatible with a lithium metal anode. For the ethers, which are generally incompatible with LiPF6, new electrolyte preparation methods and cell configurations were developed. The electrolytes were further optimized through solvation structure regulation by increasing the salt concentration and additives, which presumably leads to an improved (i.e. thin, inorganic) solid electrolyte interphase on the lithium anode (yet to be characterized). The obtained Coulombic efficiencies and cycle lifetimes are comparable with the state-of-the-art performance for electrolytes based on expensive salts (e.g. LiFSI) that are (contrary to LiPF6) not commercially viable.

进行了一项探索性研究，其中为与锂金属阳极兼容的基于LIPF6的电解质鉴定了几种合适的碳酸盐和醚溶剂。对于通常与LIPF6不兼容的醚，开发了新的电解质制备方法和细胞构型。通过增加盐浓度和添加剂，通过溶剂化结构调节进一步优化了电解质，这可能会导致锂阳极上的改善（即薄，无机的）固体电解质相间（尚未表征）。获得的库仑效率和循环寿命与基于昂贵的盐（例如LIFSI）（与LIPF6相反）的电解质的最先进性能相当。
