One aspect of this invention relates to hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) ionogel inks using exfoliated hBN nanoplatelets as the solid matrix. The hBN nanoplatelets are produced from bulk hBN powders by liquid-phase exfoliation, allowing printable hBN ionogel inks to be formulated following the addition of an imidazolium ionic liquid and ethyl lactate. The resulting inks are reliably printed with variable patterns and controllable thicknesses by aerosol jet printing, resulting in hBN ionogels that possess high room-temperature ionic conductivities and storage moduli of >3 mS cm1 and >1 MPa, respectively. By integrating the hBN ionogel with printed semiconductors and electrical contacts, fully-printed thin-film transistors with operating voltages below 1 V are demonstrated on polyimide films. These devices exhibit desirable electrical performance and robust mechanical tolerance against repeated bending cycles, thus confirming the suitability of hBN ionogels for printed and flexible electronics.

The present disclosure relates to an electrolyte suitable for a lithium primary battery. In order to solve the problems of poor safety performance, high-rate discharge and poor discharge performance of electrolytes of the existing lithium primary batteries under a high-temperature condition, the electrolyte includes an electrolyte lithium salt, an additive, and an organic solvent, wherein the electrolyte lithium salt includes one or more of lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate, lithium bis(triflu-oromethanesulphonyl)imide, lithium difluorophosphate, and lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate; the additive includes one or more of (2-trimethylsilylethyl)2-cyanoacetate, diphenyldimethoxysilane, and citraconic anhydride; and the organic solvent comprises a carbon-ate solvent and a glycol ether solvent. A selective combination of the electrolyte lithium salt, the additive, and the solvent, normal-temperature discharge can be met when the electrolyte is applied to the lithium primary battery. The lithium primary battery can take into account the constant/high temperature performance, high-rate discharge performance and safety performance.
