| Abstract | Limited availability of raw materials including cobalt and lithium is a roadblock for widespread adoption of Li-ion batteries. One way to circumvent this roadblock is to develop metal-ion batteries beyond lithium. Water-in-salt electrolytes (WiSEs), which are highly concentrated solutions where the salt content is much higher than the water content, are promising electrolytes. These electrolytes offer improved safety, reduced flammability, efficiency, and performance, while also reducing the cos |
