Title: Non-flammable electrolytes for emerging potassium and Zinc ion batteries

Abstract: Efficient and reliable energy storage systems are crucial for our modern society. Battery safety is of growing importance and needs to be considered during the development of batteries. Those high-profile incidents involving battery fires as portrayed by the media, result from exothermic chemical reactions occurring between the flammable electrolyte and the electrode material under abusive operating conditions. Non-flammable electrolytes could intrinsically eliminate fire hazards and improve battery safety. In this talk, I will present some of our recent progress in the design and development of non-flammable electrolytes to enhance safety and electrochemical performance of potassium ion and zinc ion batteries.
