Non-aqueous batteries with wide voltage windows represent a promising technology without the limitation of water electrolysis, but they suffer from low electrolyte concentration and unsatisfactory battery performance. Here, a non-aqueous lithium bromine rechargeable battery is proposed, which is based on Br;/Br;and Li;/Li as active redox pairs, with fast redox kinetics and good stability. The Li/Br battery combines the advantages of high output voltage(;.1 V),electrolyte concentration(3.0 mol/L), maximum power density(29.1 m W/cm;) and practical energy density(232.6 Wh/kg). Additionally, the battery displays a columbic efficiency(CE) of 90.0%, a voltage efficiency(VE) of 88.0% and an energy efficiency(EE) of 80.0% at 1.0 m A/cm;after continuously running for more than 1000 cycles, which is by far the longest cycle life reported for non-aqueous flow batteries.展开更多
