Abstract

The performance and durability of an electrochemical cell using a lithium metal based anode and a compatible lithium-accepting cathode are improved by the use of a suitable lithium electrolyte salt and a new liquid co-solvent mixture for the electrolyte. The co-solvent mixture comprises a non-aqueous ionic liquid, conductive of lithium ions, and a liquid fluorinated organic ether.
