Hyperconjugation-Controlled Molecular Conformation Weakens Lithium-Ion Solvation and Stabilizes Lithium Metal Anode

Tuning the solvation structure of lithium ions via electrolyte engineering has proven effective for lithium metal (Li) anode. Further advancement that bypasses the trial-and-error practice relies on the establishment of molecular design principles. Expanding the scope of our previous work on solvent fluorination, we report here an alternative design principle... Show more
