Improvements to a class of battery electrolyte first introduced in 2017—liquefied gas electrolytes—could pave the way to replacing the graphite anode with a lithium-metal anode. As demonstrated in this earlier work, the solvent itself, rather than the salt, plays a more critical role in stabilizing the Li metal.
