A battery includes a cathode comprising a disordered rocksalt structure and an electrolyte. The electrolyte includes a solvating solvent and a lithium salt that is soluble in the solvating solvent. The electrolyte includes a diluent that is miscible with the solvating solvent. The lithium salt is at least 5 times more soluble in the solvating solvent than in the diluent, and the solvating solvent and diluent are present in the battery at a diluent ratio/solvating solvent ratio of 0.1 to less than 3.0.
A battery, comprising:
An electrolyte comprised of a solvating solvent, diluent, and a lithium salt comprised of a first lithium salt and a second lithium salt, the electrolyte being a solution having a saturation point, the solvating solvent having a saturation point, and the lithium salt being at least 5 times more soluble in the solvating solvent than in the diluent, wherein the first and second lithium salts are present in an amount below the saturation point of the electrolyte and above the saturation point of the solvating solvent.
