“…The use of additives in a liquid electrolyte is considered to be an economic and effective way to enhance the performance of LIBs, by performing various functions, such as film-formation, protection of electrodes, , stabilizing and increasing cycle life, , and flame-retardation , during repeated charge and discharge processes. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been extensively used as a new solvent or additive − of electrolyte for LIBs because of their attractive properties, including high thermal and chemical stability, negligible vapor pressure, reasonably high conductivity, and nonflammability .…”
