Stable Acetals of Glyoxal as Electrolyte Solvents for Lithium-Ion Batteries

In this manuscript, we report for the first time about the use of the glyoxylic-acetals-based electrolytes in combination with graphite electrodes. We showed that these innovative electrolytes display good viscosities and conductivities, as well as higher thermal stability and flash points compared to the electrolyte based on conventional solvents. Additionally, they display intrinsic film-forming ability and they can be successfully used in combination with graphite electrodes.
