Introduction
Efficient and reliable energy storage systems are crucial for our modern society. Battery safety is of growing importance and needs to be considered during the development of batteries. Those high-profile incidents involving battery fires as portrayed by the media, result from exothermic chemical reactions occurring between the flammable electrolyte and the electrode material under abusive operating conditions. Non-flammable electrolytes could intrinsically eliminate fire hazards and improve battery safety. In this talk, I will present some of our recent progress in the design and development of non-flammable electrolytes to enhance safety and electrochemical performance of rechargeable metal ion batteries.
