A new class of solventless electrolytes was created by tethering ionic liquids to hard inorganic ZrO 2 nanostructures (see picture; NIM=nanoscale ionic material). These hybrid fluids exhibit exceptional redox stability windows, excellent thermal stability, good lithium transference numbers, long‐term interfacial stability in the presence of a lithium anode and, when doped with lithium salt, reasonable ionic conductivities.
