plating/stripping. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] As a result, LMB always suffer from rapid capacity deterioration and high safety risk, especially at high charge/discharge rates and over a wide temperature range (from subzero temperatures to high temperatures). Encouragingly, varied strategies have been devoted to explore the Li-dendrite growth mechanism and Li-metal protection. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Wherein, one of the most effective and feasible strategy in protecting Li metal is electrolyte optimization, such as developing ionic liquids, [16] dual-salt electrolytes with additives, [20] gel polymer electrolyte, [18,27,28] concentrated electrolytes, [9,[24][25][26]29,30] etc.Undoubtedly, wide temperature range high-energy LMBs are urgently demanded for special applications, such as carrying out special missions in polar areas, desert areas, snowy mountains region, and outer space. [31] However, the operation of LMBs over a wide temperature range is seldom reported because of the fact that it is a huge challenge to find a compromise between subzero temperature performances and high temperature performances. [31][32][33] At subzero temperatures, due to the significantly reduced Li + conductivity (increased viscosity) of electrolyte and simultaneously increased charge transfer resistances, the severe growth of Li dendrites will become more uncontrolled. [31,34] At high temperatures, the bottlenecks are thermal instability of conventional LiPF 6 salt, severe solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer destruction-reformation accompanied by severe gas evolution, and accelerated transition metal dissolution-migration-deposition. [31] Significantly, formulating an electrolyte will play a dominant role in enabling the wide temperature operation of LMBs.Dual-salt electrolyte systems adopting two thermally stable main lithium salts have been proposed to significantly enhance the performances of both LIBs and LMBs. [20,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] For the wide temperature operation of LIBs, thermally stable lithium borates (such as lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF 4 ), lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB), lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB), etc.) dissolved in low melting point and high boiling point carbonatebased solvents (such as propylene carbonate (PC, T m = −48.8 °C, T b = 242 °C), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC, T m = −53 °C, T b = 110 °C), etc.), have been investigated. [33][34][35][36][37][38] Recently, we have reviewed the potential application of functional lithium-borate salts in high performance lithium batteries, [43] and have successfully synthesized a bulky anion lithium trifluoro(perfluoro-tert-butyloxyl)borate (Li[(CF 3 ) 3 COBF 3 ], LiTFPFB), which exhibits high Li + conductivity and oxidation stability, as well as noncorrosivity to In this study, self-synthesized lithium trifluoro(perfluoro-tert-butyloxyl) borate (LiTFPFB) is combined with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) to formulate a novel 1 m dual-salt electrolyte, which contain...
