Fig. 1

Molecular structures, electrostatic potential (ESP) maps and characteristics of (a) DME (representative linear ether) and (b) DMC (representative linear carbonate). c The intuitively physical blending of DME and DMC. d Well-designed BMC solvent by molecularly hybridizing ether oxygen and ester carbonyl groups into a linear molecule. The meticulously engineered molecular hybridization results in a solvent capable of satisfying the demands for high-voltage and high-safety LMBs, a feat unattainable through mere physical blending of ethers and carbonates.
