Rational Design of Vinylene Carbonate-Inspired 1,3-Dimethyl-1H-imidazol-2(3H)-one Additives to Stabilize High-Voltage Lithium Metal Batteries

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) employing high-voltage nickel-rich cathodes represent a promising strategy to enable higher energy density storage systems. However, instability at the electrolyte-electrode interfaces (EEIs) currently impedes the translation of these advanced systems into practical applications. Herein, 1,3-dimethyl-1
