Enabling safe aqueous lithium ion open batteries by suppressing oxygen reduction reaction

Despite the non-flammable nature of water-based electrolytes, aqueous lithium-ion batteries still carry an explosion risk due to the sealing structure. Here the authors report a safe aqueous battery with an open configuration, utilizing highly concentrated electrolytes and Al2O3 coated anodes.
