The stability of lithium metal electrodes with different electrolyte combinations. To verify the stability of lithium (Li) metal electrodes with different salt/solvent compositions, Li/Li symmetric cells were assembled employing six salt/solvent modified electrolytes. af Changes in impedances of the symmetric cells were observed under the five-day storage condition, g Galvanostatic 1 h/1 h charge/discharge operation was conducted with 0.5 mA cm−2 current density for six different electrolyte systems. The six salt/solvent modified electrolytes include 1 M LiX, X = bistriflimide (TFSI), triflate (Tf), or bromide (Br), in 1,3-dioxolane (DOL):1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) (1:1), and 1 M LiTFSI in dimetylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylacetamide (DMA), and dimethylformamide (DMF)
