A Gum‐Like Electrolyte: Safety of a Solid, Performance of a Liquid

Abstract

A high-performance gum-like electrolyte with thermal-protection capability is constructed based on emulsion technique. The gummy electrolytes show excellent performance in adhesion/contact, structural integrity under various deformations, high ionic conductivity, and safety (thermal-protection and leakage-free properties). These results indicate that the gummy electrolyte is a viable solution for safe and flexible/stretchable lithium ion batteries.
