Stable lithium metal batteries are achieved utilizing hybrid electrolytes in which a liquid is infused into the pores of a nanoporous solid. At moderate salt concentrations, the Debye screening length is large and a selective cation transport is observed. At higher salt concentrations, nanopores are effective in limiting lithium nucleate sizes to below critical values required for unstable dendritic growth. This is reported by Lynden A. Archer and co‐workers in article number 1602367 .
