    Abstract: Low flammability and nonflammable localized superconcentrated electrolytes (LSEs) for stable operation of lithium and sodium ion batteries are disclosed. Electrochemical devices including the low flammability and nonflammable LSEs are also disclosed. The low flammability and nonflammable LSEs include an active salt, a solvent comprising a flame retardant compound, wherein the active salt is soluble in the solvent, and a diluent in which the active salt is insoluble or poorly soluble. The LSE may further include a cosolvent, such as a carbonate, a sulfone, a sulfite, a sulfate, a carboxylate, an ether, a nitrogen-containing solvent, or any combination thereof. In certain embodiments, such as when the solvent and diluent are immiscible, the LSE further includes a bridge solvent.

    Abstract: The Coulombic efficiency of lithium deposition/stripping can be improved while also substantially preventing lithium dendrite formation and growth using particular electrolyte compositions. Embodiments of the electrolytes include organic solvents and their mixtures to form high-quality SEI layers on the lithium anode surface and to prevent further reactions between lithium and electrolyte components. Embodiments of the disclosed electrolytes further include additives to suppress dendrite growth during charge/discharge processes. The solvent and additive can significantly improve both the Coulombic efficiency and smoothness of lithium deposition. By optimizing the electrolyte formulations, practical rechargeable lithium energy storage devices with significantly improved safety and long-term cycle life are achieved. The electrolyte can also be applied to other kinds of energy storage devices.

    Abstract: A method for etching materials in which organic solvents are added to the etching mixture and combined in a mixing arrangement. When agitated organic materials mix with the etching agent and interact with the underlying material to form a shield around the etched areas that prevents the additional interaction of water with the newly etched areas and enables the etching of silicon oxides (SiOx) but does not oxidize Si. This method leads to milder reactions with less heat generation and avoids the safety hazards associated with conventional etching methods.
