1. A battery, comprising:
a first electrode configured to accept lithium ions;
a second electrode configured to accept lithium ions; and
an ionogel disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein a first liquid was used to form the ionogel, and further where the ionogel comprises:
a solid-phase matrix having pores formed therein; and
a second liquid disposed within the pores of the solid-phase matrix, the second liquid comprising a lithium-based electrolyte in solution with at least one of 1,3 dioxolane (DOL), or dimethyl ether (DME), where the second liquid displaced the first liquid that was used to form the ionogel.
