Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are a more sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) considering the abundance, global distribution, and low cost of sodium. However, their economic impact remains small compared to LIBs, owing in part to the lag in materials development where significant improvements in energy density and safety remain to be realized. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) show promise as alternatives to conventional electrolytes in SIBs because of their nonflammable nature. However, their practical application has thus far been hindered by their limited electrochemical stability window. In particular, DESs based on
