Chemical additives are disclosed to increase solubility of salts in liquefied gas electrolytes.

Chemical formulations for electrochemical device

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for implementing electrochemical energy storage devices using a liquefied gas electrolyte. The mechanical designs of an electrochemical device to house a liquefied gas electrolyte as well as methods of filling and sealing said device are presented.

Electrochemical cell cap

Electrochemical energy storage devices utilize ionic conducting electrolyte solution to carry charge between positive and negative electrodes. The electrolyte solutions use a mixture of solvent and salt and additional components, or additives, for improved electrochemical stability of the device. In an exemplary embodiment, an electrochemical device includes an electrolyte and housing to provide a pressurized condition for the electrolyte, and electrodes in contact with the electrolyte.
