The key to enabling long-term cycling stability of high-voltage lithium (Li) metal batteries is the development of functional electrolytes that are stable against both Li anodes and high-voltage (above 4 V versus Li/Li + ) cathodes. Due to their limited oxidative stability ( <4 V), ethers have so...
