Title: Electrolytes for lithium metal electrodes and rechargeable batteries using same

Abstract

The present invention is generally related to separators for use in lithium metal batteries, and associated systems and products. Certain embodiments are related to separators that form or are repaired when an electrode is held at a voltage. In some embodiments, an electrochemical cell may comprise an electrolyte that comprises a precursor for the separator.
