Abstract

Abstract : Deep eutectic catholytes/anolytes, such as FeCl3 ·6H2 O/urea, are potentially a class of low-cost and greener active electrolytes with high volumetric capacities. Abstract : Deep eutectic systems with self-contained electroactive species have been recognized in this work as a distinct class of low-cost greener catholytes or anolytes that potentially have high concentration of electroactive species, hence high volumetric capacities. The viability of the concept was demonstrated by applying a new deep eutectic catholyte (DEC) in a proof-of-concept Li-DEC battery.
