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. However, one of the main technical hurdles to making the switch is that lithium metal anodes are not compatible with conventional electrolytes.
