Safety is the key-feature of high energy density lithium-ion batteries and thermal stability of the electrolytes is crucial. In this work, the thermal and flammability properties of mixed electrolytes based on the conventional ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) (1:1:1 v/v/v), 1M LiPF6 and the hydrophobic ionic liquid (IL) N-methyl-N-propylpiperidinium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (Pp13TFSI) have been investigated. The mixed electrolyte is observed to be nonflammable at the Pp13TFSI contents of more than 40 vol.%. And physical and electrochemical characteristics of high energy density lithium ion batteries based on Li [Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 as the cathode and artificial graphite as the anode with mixed electrolyte are also investigated. The cell of graphite/ Li [Li0.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13]O2 with 1 mol/L LiPF6/40%Pp13TFSI + 60% (EC+DMC+EMC) (1/1/1,v/v/v) electrolyte shows first charge capacity of 313.8 mAh g-1 and discharge capacity of 201.8 mAh g-1, respectively. Moreover, the nail penetration tests are carried out on the charged lithium-ion cells after formation, and the results show no explosion, ignition, or thermal runaway. These results suggest that the IL has potential to improve the safety of lithium ion batteries and can be used to fabricate the high energy density lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles.

Solar energy and ambient heat are two inexhaustible energy sources for addressing the global challenge of energy and sustainability. Solar thermal battery based on molecular switches that can store solar energy and release it as heat has recently attracted great interest, but its development is severely limited by both low energy density and short storage stability. On the other hand, the efficient recovery and upgrading of low-grade heat, especially that of the ambient heat, has been a great challenge. Here we report that solar energy and ambient heat can be simultaneously harvested and stored, which is enabled by room-temperature photochemical crystal-to-liquid transitions of small-molecule photoswitches. The two forms of energy are released together to produce high-temperature heat during the reverse photochemical phase change. This strategy, combined with molecular design, provides high energy density of 320-370 J/g and long-term storage stability (half-life of about 3 months). On this basis, we fabricate high-performance, flexible film devices of solar thermal battery, which can be readily recharged at room temperature with good cycling ability, show fast rate of heat release, and produce high-temperature heat that is >20<sup> o</sup>C higher than the ambient temperature. Our work opens up a new avenue to harvest ambient heat, and demonstrate a feasible strategy to develop high-performance solar thermal battery.
