Rechargeable lithium‐metal batteries (LMBs) are regarded as the “holy grail” of energy‐storage systems, but the electrolytes that are highly stable with both a lithium‐metal anode and high‐voltage cathodes still remain a great challenge. Here a novel “localized high‐concentration electrolyte” (HCE;...
