Abstract: Traditional lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes have gradually been limited by the glass ceiling of energy density. As a result, lithium metal batteries (LMBs), regarded as the ideal alternative, have attracted considerable attention. However, lithium is highly reactive and susceptible to most electrolytes, resulting in poor cycle performance. In addition, lithium grows Li dendrites during charging, adversely affecting the safety of LMBs. Therefore, LMBs are more sensitive to the chemical composition of electrolytes and their relative ratios (concentrations). Recently, concentrated electrolytes have been widely demonstrated to be friendly to lithium metal anodes (LMAs). This review focuses on the progress of concentrated electrolytes in LMBs, including the solvation structure varying with concentration, unique functions in stabilizing the LMA, and their interfacial chemistry with LMA.
