Reviewing electrochemical stability of ionic liquids-/deep eutectic solvents-based electrolytes in lithium-ion, lithium-metal and post-lithium-ion batteries for green and safe energy

TL;DR: KIBs are a promising technology for sustainable energy storage, offering high energy density and low cost. However, advancements in cathode materials are crucial to overcome current limitations and unlock their full potential.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used cheap and green deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to dissolve spent lithium-ion batteries for the preparation of magnetic adsorbents for wastewater treatment and engine oil removal.

TL;DR: Researchers propose "superlong supercooling solvents" (SSSs) as green alternatives to ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents for lithium-ion battery recycling, offering high metal leaching efficiency at low temperatures and potential for expanding green solvents and chemistry applications.

TL;DR: In this article, room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are used as electrolytes for lithium and lithium-ion batteries. But the authors focus on the formation of the solid electrolyte interface on the anode surface.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors survey the current production status of several representative post-lithium-ion batteries and offer an industrial-scale manufacturing outlook and evaluate the manufacturing compatibility of each technology with the lithium-ion production infrastructure and discuss the implications for processing costs.

TL;DR: The Green ChemisTrees as discussed by the authors is a showcase for the diversity of research and achievements stemming from green chemistry, inspired by tree diagrams that illustrate diversity of products stemming from raw materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the room temperature ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIBF{sub 4}) was demonstrated as a versatile electrolyte by examining three representative electrochemical couples: ferrocene and tetrathiafulvalene oxidations and lithium ion reduction.
