Aqueous electrolytes are safe, economic, and environmentally friendly. However, they have a narrow potential window. On the other hand, organic electrolytes exhibit good thermodynamic stability but are inflammable and moisture sensitive. In this study, we prepared water-PEG-lipid ternary electrolytes (TEs). To combine the advantages of water, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and propylene carbonate (PC). The nonflammable mixed electrolytes exhibited a wide potential window of about 2.8 V due to the beneficial effects of PEG and PC. Using these TEs, a lithium manganate–active carbon ion capacitor could be operated at 2.4 V with an energy density of 32 Wh/kg, based on the total active electrode material (current density of 3.3 mA/cm²). This value was significantly higher than that achieved using an aqueous electrolyte, thereby rationalizing the higher energy density.
- Safe electrolytes,
- Wide potential window,
