Abstract:
Lithium batteries, essential for consumer electronics, transportation and the energy sector, still require further improvement in performance, safety, and sustainability. Traditonal organic solvent-based electrolytes, widely used in current systems, pose significant safety risks and restrict the development of next generation devices. Vitrimers are materials with unique physical and chemical properties, which offer a promising alternative to overcome these limitations, finally reaching processability and recyclability of solid electrolytes. Despite their potential a comprehensive overview of vitrimeric electrolytes' design and application in lithium batteries is lacking. This review article summarizes the key concepts, design principles, and notable advancements in vitrimeric electrolytes. We will also discuss the challenges still restricting the widespread adoption of vitrimeric electrolytes and explore future perspectives for leveraging vitrimeric materials in high-performance, safer, and more sustainable lithium battery technologies.

Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
