abstract = {The continuously increasing number and size of
lithium-based batteries developed for large-scale
applications raise serious environmental concerns. Herein,
we address the issues related to electrolyte toxicity and
safety by proposing a “water-in-ionomer” type of
electrolyte which replaces organic solvents by water and
expensive and toxic fluorinated lithium salts by a
non-fluorinated, inexpensive and non-toxic superabsorbing
ionomer, lithium polyacrylate. Interestingly, the
electrochemical stability window of this electrolyte is
extended greatly, even for high water contents.
Particularly, the gel with $50 wt\%$ ionomer exhibits an
electrochemical stability window of 2.6 V vs. platinum and
a conductivity of 6.5 mS cm−1 at 20 °C. Structural
investigations suggest that the electrolytes locally
self-organize and most likely switch local structures with
the change of water content, leading to a $50\%$ gel with
good conductivity and elastic properties. A
LiTi2(PO4)3/LiMn2O4 lithium-ion cell incorporating this
electrolyte provided an average discharge
voltage > 1.5 V and a specific energy of
77 Wh kg−1, while for an alternative cell chemistry,
i.e., TiO2/LiMn2O4, a further enhanced average output
voltage of 2.1 V and an initial specific energy of
124.2 Wh kg−1 are achieved.},
