The lithium ion conductivity and salt diffusion coefficient of PEO 18LiTFSI were dramatically enhanced by the addition of TEGDME. The water-stable lithium electrode with PEO 18LiTFSI-2TEGDME, as the protective layer, exhibited a low and stable electrode resistance of 85 ¦¸¡¤cm 2 at 60 ¡ãC, after 28 days, and low overpotentials of 0.3 V for lithium plating and 0.4 V for lithium stripping at 4.0 mA¡¤cm £¿2 and 60 ¡ãC. A Li/PEO 18LiTFSI-2TEGDME/LTAP/saturated LiCl aqueous solution/Pt, air cell showed excellent cyclability up to 100 cycles at 2.0 mAh¡¤cm £¿2. %K composite solid polymer electrolyte %K tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether %K water-stable lithium electrode %K lithium dendrite %K aqueous lithium-air battery %U http://www.mdpi.com/2077-0375/3/4/298
