Lithium-ion batteries with fluorinated mesogen-based liquid-crystalline electrolytes: molecular design towards enhancing oxidation stability

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) nanostructured liquid crystals containing fluorinated cyclohexylphenyl and cyclic carbonate moieties have been developed towards quasi-solid-state self-organized electrolytes for safe lithium-ion batteries. We have designed lithium ion-conductive liquid-crystalline (LC)...
