Abstract
As lithium-ion batteries have been the state-of-the-art electrochemical energy storage technology, the overwhelming demand for energy storage on a larger scale has triggered the development of next-generation battery technologies possessing high energy density, longer cycle lives, and enhanced safety. However, commercial liquid electrolytes have been plagued by safety issues due to their flammability and instability in contact with electrodes. Efforts have focused on developing such electrolytes by covalently immobilizing anionic groups onto a polymer backbone, which only allows Li+ cations to be mobile through the polymer matrix. Such ion-selective polymers provide many advantages over binary ionic conductors in battery operation, such as minimization of cell polarization and dendrite growth. In this review, the design, synthesis, fabrication, and class are reviewed to give insight into the physicochemical properties of single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes. The standard characterization method and remarkable electrochemical properties are further highlighted, and perspectives on current challenges and future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
The newly emerging supercapacitor-diode (CAPode), integrating the characteristics of a diode into an electrical-double-layer capacitor, can be employed to extend conventional supercapacitors to new technological applications and may play a crucial role in grid stabilization, signal propagation, and logic operations. However, the reported CAPodes have only been able to realize charge storage in the positive-bias direction. Here, bias-direction-adjustable CAPodes realized by using a polycation-based ionic liquid (IL) or a polyanion-based IL as electrolyte in an asymmetric carbon-based supercapacitor architecture are proposed. The resulting CAPodes exhibit charge-storage function at only the positive- or negative-bias direction with a high rectification ratio (≈80% for rectification ratio II, RRII ) and an outstanding cycling life (4500 cycles), representing a crucial breakthrough for designing high-performance capacitive ionic diodes.

Abstract
Herein, composite membranes based on a single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte (SIPE) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) were prepared by an electrospinning technology. The SIPE with hydrogen bonding was obtained via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of 2-(3-(6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)ureido)ethyl methacrylate (UPyMA), poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA), and lithium 4-styrenesulfonyl (phenylsulfonyl) imide (SSPSILi). The obtained composite membrane exhibited a highly porous network structure, superior thermal stability (>300 °C), and high mechanical strength (17.3 MPa). The fabricated SIPE/PVDF-HFP composite membrane without lithium salts possessed a high ionic conductivity of 2.78 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 30 °C, excellent compatibility with the lithium metal electrode, and high lithium-ion transference number (0.89). The symmetric Li//Li cell exhibited a superior cycle performance without short circuit, indicating the generation of a stable interface between SIPE and the lithium metal electrode during the process of lithium plating/stripping, which could inhibit lithium dendrite growth in lithium metal batteries (LMBs). The Li//LiFePO4 cell also exhibited superior cycle life and excellent rate capability at 60 or 25 °C. In consequence, the composite membrane exhibits a considerable future prospect for advanced LMBs.

Abstract
Quasi-solid-state polymer electrolytes are one of the most promising candidates for long-life lithium-metal batteries. However, introduction of plasticizers for high ion conductivity at room temperature inevitably gives rise to poor mechanical strength and requires a very thick electrolyte membrane, which is detrimental to safety and energy density of the batteries. Herein, inspired by tube brushes coupling hardness with softness, a novel superstructured polymer bottlebrush BC-g-PLiSTFSI-b-PEGM (BC = bacterial cellulose; PLiSTFSI = poly(lithium 4-styrenesulfonyl-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide); PEGM = poly(diethylene glycol monomethyl ether methacrylate)) with a hard nanofibril backbone and soft functional polymer side-chains is reported as an effective strategy to well balance the mechanical strength and ion conductivity of quasi-solid-state polymer electrolytes. The resulting single lithium-ion conducting quasi-solid-state polymer-brush electrolytes (SLIC-QSPBEs) integrate the features of the ultrathin membrane thickness (10 µm), the nanofibril backbone-strengthened porous nanonetwork (Young's modulus = 1.9 GPa), and the high-rate single lithium-ion conducting diblock copolymer brushes. As a result, the ultrathin yet robust SLIC-QSPBEs enable ultralong-term (over 3300 h) reversible and stable lithium plating/stripping in Li/Li symmetrical cell at a current density of 1 mA cm-2 for lithium anode. This work affords a promising strategy to develop advanced electrolytes for solid-state lithium-metal batteries.

Polyether Single and Double Crystalline Blends and the Effect of Lithium Salt on Their Crystallinity and Ionic Conductivity. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13132097.

Abstract
In this work, blends of Poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, and poly(1,6-hexanediol), PHD, were prepared in a wide composition range. They were examined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Polarized Light Optical Microscopy (PLOM) and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS). Based on the results obtained, the blends were partially miscible in the melt and their crystallization was a function of miscibility and composition. Crystallization triggered phase separation. In blends with higher PEO contents both phases were able to crystallize due to the limited miscibility in this composition range. On the other hand, the blends with higher PHD contents display higher miscibility and therefore, only the PHD phase could crystallize in them. A nucleation effect of the PHD phase on the PEO phase was detected, probably caused by a transference of impurities mechanism. Since PEO is widely used as electrolyte in lithium batteries, the PEO/PHD blends were studied with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI), and the effect of Li-salt concentration was studied. We found that the lithium salt preferentially dissolves in the PEO phase without significantly affecting the PHD component. While the Li-salt reduced the spherulite growth rate of the PEO phase within the blends, the overall crystallization rate was enhanced because of the strong nucleating effect of the PHD component. The ionic conductivity was also determined for the blends with Li-salt. At high temperatures (>70 °C), the conductivity is in the order of ~10−3 S cm−1, and as the temperature decreases, the crystallization of PHD was detected. This improved the self-standing character of the blend films at high temperatures as compared to the one of neat PEO.

Abstract
Composite electrolytes composed of a nanoceramic and polymer have been widely studied because of their high ionic conductivity, good Li-ion transference number, and excellent machinability, whereas the intrinsic reason for the improvement of performance is ambiguous. Herein, we have designed a functional polymer skeleton with different types of nanofiller to reveal the superiority of fast ion conductors in composite electrolyte. Three types of ceramics with different dielectric constants and Li-ion transfer ability were selected to prepare composite electrolytes, the composition, structure, and electrochemical performances of which were systematically investigated. It was found that the addition of fast ion conductive ceramics could provide a high Li-ion transference ability and decreased diffusion barrier because the additional pathways existed in the ceramic, which are revealed by experiment and density functional theory calculations. Benefiting from the superiority of fast ion conductor, Li-metal batteries with this advanced composite electrolyte exhibit an impressive cycling stability and enable a dendrite-free Li surface after cycling. Our work enriches the understanding of the function of fast ion conductors in composite electrolyte and guides the design for other high-performance composite electrolytes in rechargeable solid batteries.

Abstract
Smart electronics and wearable devices require batteries with increased energy density, enhanced safety, and improved mechanical flexibility. However, current state-of-the-art Li-based rechargeable batteries (LBRBs) use highly reactive and flowable liquid electrolytes, severely limiting their ability to meet the above requirements. Therefore, solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are introduced to tackle the issues of liquid electrolytes. Nevertheless, due to their low Li+ conductivity and Li+ transference number (LITN) (around 10-5 S cm-1 and 0.5, respectively), SPE-based room temperature LBRBs are still in their early stages of development. This paper reviews the principles of Li+ conduction inside SPEs and the corresponding strategies to improve the Li+ conductivity and LITN of SPEs. Some representative applications of SPEs in high-energy density, safe, and flexible LBRBs are then introduced and prospected.

Abstract
Self-healing polymer electrolytes are reported with light-switchable conductivity based on dynamic N-donor ligand-containing diarylethene (DAE) and multivalent Ni2+ metal-ion coordination. Specifically, a polystyrene polymer grafted with poly(ethylene glycol-r-DAE)acrylate copolymer side chains was effectively cross-linked with nickel(II) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) (Ni(TFSI)2) salts to form a dynamic network capable of self-healing with fast exchange kinetics under mild conditions. Furthermore, as a photoswitching compound, the DAE undergoes a reversible structural and electronic rearrangement that changes the binding strength of the DAE-Ni2+ complex under irradiation. This can be observed in the DAE-containing polymer electrolyte where irradiation with UV light triggers an increase in the resistance of solid films, which can be recovered with subsequent visible light irradiation. The increase in resistance under UV light irradiation indicates a decrease in ion mobility after photoswitching, which is consistent with the stronger binding strength of ring-closed DAE isomers with Ni2+. 1H-15N heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation nuclear magnetic resonance (HMBC NMR) spectroscopy, continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (cw EPR) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm the increase in binding strength between ring-closed DAE with metals. Rheological and in situ ion conductivity measurements show that these polymer electrolytes efficiently heal to recover their mechanical properties and ion conductivity after damage, illustrating potential applications in smart electronics.

Abstract
Forty years after the failed introduction of rechargeable lithium-metal batteries and 30 years after the successful commercialization of the lower capacity, graphite-anode-based lithium-ion battery by Sony, demand for higher energy density batteries is leading to reinvestigation of the problem of dendrite growth that makes the metallic lithium anodes unsafe and prevented commercialization to begin with. One strategy to mitigate dendrite growth is to deposit thin, tailored, corrosion-passivating coatings on the metallic lithium, instead of allowing the metal to spontaneously react with the organic electrolyte solution to form its passivating solid electrolyte interface (SEI). The challenge is to find and to deposit a coating that is electronically insulating yet allows uniform permeation of Li+ at a high cycling rate, such that Li-metal is electrodeposited uniformly on the nanoscale below the tailored coating. Recently, a number of studies have examined multicomponent films, taking advantage of the properties of two different materials, which can be tuned separately or chosen for their complementary properties. Use of these multicomponent coatings will likely enable future researchers to create rationally designed SEIs capable of effectively suppressing the growth of Li dendrites. This review discusses recent developments in micro- and nanoscale tailored coatings to meet that need.

Abstract
The results of studies on polymer electrolytes for metal-ion batteries are analyzed and generalized. Progress in this field of research is driven by the need for solid-state batteries characterized by safety and stable operation. At present, a number of polymer electrolytes with a conductivity of at least 10−4 S cm−1 at 25 °C were synthesized. Main types of polymer electrolytes are described, viz., polymer/salt electrolytes, composite polymer electrolytes containing inorganic particles and anion acceptors, and polymer electrolytes based on cation-exchange membranes. Ion transport mechanisms and various methods for increasing the ionic conductivity in these systems are discussed. Prospects of application of polymer electrolytes in lithium- and sodium-ion batteries are outlined.

Abstract
Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes exhibit great potential for next-generation high-energy-density Li metal batteries, although the lack of sufficient molecular-scale insights into lithium transport mechanisms and reliable understanding of key correlations often limit the scope of modification and design of new materials. Moreover, the sensitivity to small variations of polymer chemical structures (e.g., selection of specific linkages or chemical groups) is often overlooked as potential design parameter. In this study, combined molecular dynamics simulations and experimental investigations reveal molecular-scale correlations among variations in polymer structures and Li+ transport capabilities. Based on polyamide-based single-ion conducting quasi-solid polymer electrolytes, it is demonstrated that small modifications of the polymer backbone significantly enhance the Li+ transport while governing the resulting membrane morphology. Based on the obtained insights, tailored materials with significantly improved ionic conductivity and excellent electrochemical performance are achieved and their applicability in LFP||Li and NMC||Li cells is successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
Ternary systems consisting of polymers, lithium salts, and ionic liquids (ILs) are promising materials for the development of next-generation lithium batteries. The ternary systems combine the advantages of polymer-salt and IL-salt systems, thus providing media with high ionic conductivity and solid-like mechanical properties. In this work, we apply nuclear magnetic resonance 1H microimaging [magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] techniques and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the translational and rotational dynamics of the N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium (PYR14) cation in poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrices containing the lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide salt (LiTFSI) and the PYR14TFSI IL. The analysis of diffusion-weighted images in PEO/LiTFSI/PYR14TFSI samples with varying mole ratios (10:1:x, with x = 1, 2, 3, and 4) shows, in a wide range of temperatures, a spatially heterogeneous distribution of PYR14 diffusion coefficients. Their weight-averaged values increase with IL content but remain well below the values estimated for the neat IL. The analysis of T2 (spin-spin relaxation) parametric images shows that the PEO matrix significantly hinders PYR14 rotational freedom, which is only partially restored by increasing the IL content. The MD simulations, performed on IL-filled cavities within the PEO matrix, reveal that PYR14 diffusion is mainly affected by Li/TFSI coordination within the IL phase. In agreement with MRI experiments, increasing the IL content increases the PYR14 diffusion coefficients. Finally, the analysis of MD trajectories suggests that Li diffusion mostly develops within the IL phase, although a fraction of Li cations is strongly coordinated by PEO oxygen atoms.

Abstract
The solid-state lithium metal battery (SSLMB) is one of the most optimal solutions to pursue next-generation energy storage devices with superior energy density, in which solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are expected to completely solve the safety problems caused by direct use of a lithium metal anode. Most previous work has mainly focused on improving the electrochemical performance of SSLMBs, but the safety issues have been largely ignored due to the influence of the stereotype that batteries with SSEs are always safe. In the actual research process, however, some potential dangers of SSLMBs have been gradually revealed, so extra attention should be paid to this issue. This minireview summarizes several aspects that could raise safety concerns and provides a brief overview of the corresponding solutions to each aspect. Finally, general conclusions and perspectives on the research of SSLMBs with ultra-high safety are presented.

Abstract
Advances in lithium battery technologies necessitate improved energy densities, long cycle lives, fast charging, safe operation, and environmentally friendly components. This study concerns lithium-organic batteries comprising bioinspired poly(4-vinyl catechol) (P4VC) cathode materials and single-ion conducting polymer nanoparticle electrolytes. The controlled synthesis of P4VC results in a two-step redox reaction with voltage plateaus at around 3.1 and 3.5 V, as well as a high initial specific capacity of 352 mAh g-1 . The use of single-ion nanoparticle electrolytes enables high electrochemical stabilities up to 5.5 V, a high lithium transference number of 0.99, high ionic conductivities, ranging from 0.2×10-3 to 10-3 S cm-1 , and stable storage moduli of >10 MPa at 25-90 °C. Lithium cells can deliver 165 mAh g-1 at 39.7 mA g-1 for 100 cycles and stable specific capacities of >100 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 794 mA g-1 for 500 cycles. As the first successful demonstration of solid-state single-ion polymer electrolytes in environmentally benign and cost-effective lithium-organic batteries, this work establishes a future research avenue for advancing lithium battery technologies.

Abstract
The cyclophosphazene-based self-healing polymer electrolytes (CPSHPE) is designed and fabricated via the copolymerization of hexa(4-ethyl acrylate phenoxy) cyclotriphosphazene (HCP), (2-(3-(6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)ureido)ethyl methacrylate) (UPyMA), and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) under UV irradiation. The cross-linking structure formed by HCP could effectively enhance the mechanical strength of the polymer electrolyte, and the cyclotriphosphazene as the core is able to improve the flame-retardant properties. Benefiting from the phenyl groups in HCP and the cross-linking structure, the CPSHPE shows high thermal stability (up to 300 °C). On the other hand, the supramolecular network fabricated by the dynamic ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) dimers endows the polymer electrolyte with good self-healing capability and is expected to improve the reliability of polymer lithium batteries. Moreover, the cells were fabricated with LiFePO4 (LFP), CPSHPE, and Li anodes show good reversible specific capacity. The CPSHPE could be a promising candidate as the multifunctional polymer electrolyte to improve the safety performance of lithium metal batteries.

Nonmonotonic Influence of Size of Quaternary Ammonium Countercations on Micromorphology, Polarization, and Electroresponse of Anionic Poly(ionic liquid)s. J Phys Chem B 2020; 124:2920-2929.

Abstract
The size influence of quaternary ammonium countercations in poly[4-styrenesulfonyl(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide][tetraalkylammonium] (P[STFSI][Nnnnn], n = 1, 2, and 3) poly(ionic liquid)s on dielectric polarization and the stimuli-responsive electrorheological effect is investigated by dielectric spectroscopy and rheology, and the microstructure-level understanding behind the influence is analyzed by Raman and X-ray scattering spectra. The size influence of quaternary ammonium cations is found to be nonmonotonic. The largest electrorheological effect accompanied by best polarization properties is demonstrated in P[STFSI][N2222]. Raman spectra and activation energy measurements demonstrate that the nonmonotonic influence originates from the fact that, compared to small N1111+ and large N3333+, intermediate N2222+ as countercations can contribute a higher mobile ion number and lower activation energy barrier of ion dissociation and motion. But the experimental values of activation energy are not consistent with theoretically calculated values by considering the ion pair electrostatic potential and elastic force contribution of the matrix. By X-ray scattering and diffraction characterizations, it is clarified that the nonmonotonic influence and the inconsistency of activation energy originate from the size influence of Nnnnn+ on the micromorphology of P[STFSI][Nnnnn]. Compared to the semicrystalline structure of P[STFSI][N1111] and the ionic aggregation structure of P[STFSI][N3333], the relatively uniform amorphous structure of P[STFSI][N2222] may be responsible for its lower activation energy barrier of ion motion. This study further provides insights into the design and preparation of future poly(ionic liquid)-based electrorheological materials by considering not only molecular structure but also micromorphology.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries have remained a state-of-the-art electrochemical energy storage technology for decades now, but their energy densities are limited by electrode materials and conventional liquid electrolytes can pose significant safety concerns. Lithium metal batteries featuring Li metal anodes, solid polymer electrolytes, and high-voltage cathodes represent promising candidates for next-generation devices exhibiting improved power and safety, but such solid polymer electrolytes generally do not exhibit the required excellent electrochemical properties and thermal stability in tandem. Here, an interpenetrating network polymer with weakly coordinating anion nodes that functions as a high-performing single-ion conducting electrolyte in the presence of minimal plasticizer, with a wide electrochemical stability window, a high room-temperature conductivity of 1.5 × 10-4 S cm-1 , and exceptional selectivity for Li-ion conduction (tLi+ = 0.95) is reported. Importantly, this material is also flame retardant and highly stable in contact with lithium metal. Significantly, a lithium metal battery prototype containing this quasi-solid electrolyte is shown to outperform a conventional battery featuring a polymer electrolyte.

Abstract
As the hostless nature of the conventional Li anodes with planar surfaces inevitably causes volume expansion and parasitic dendrite growth, it is essential to develop a composite electrode structure with improved Li plating/stripping behaviors to mitigate such issues. Herein, a composite Li@NF anode was successfully fabricated through lithium perfusion into the commercial nickel foam (NF) decorated with lithiophilic NiO nanosheets, demonstrating an exceptionally high areal Li loading of 53.2 mg cm-2 with suppressed Li dendrite formation and volume expansion, improved Coulombic efficiency, as well as extended cycling stability in all half, symmetric, and full cell tests. More importantly, density functional theory calculations and control studies with Fe2O3@NF, pristine NF, and Cu2O@CF reveal a linear correlation between the thermodynamics of the surface reactions and the lithiophilicity of the reaction products, attesting to a redox-driven Li perfusion process. Further, through ex situ scanning electron and in situ optical microscopy, the enhanced performance of Li@NF is mainly attributed to the mediation of Li plating/stripping through homogenizing the Li+ flux, decentralizing local charge density, and accommodating multidirectional Li deposition by the conductive 3D scaffolds. Consequently, this study offers important insights into the driving of thermal Li perfusion through appropriate material and surface design for achieving safe and stable lithium metal anodes.

Abstract
A material design approach was taken for the preparation of an organic ionic plastic crystal (OIPC)-polymer electrolyte material that exhibited both good mechanical and transport properties. Previous attempts to form this type of electrolyte material resulted in the solvation of the OIPC by the ionomer and loss of the plastic crystal component. Here, we prepared, in situ, a macrophase-separated OIPC-polymer electrolyte system by adding lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) to a (PAMPS-N1222) ionomer. It was found that an optimal compositional window of 40-50 mol % LiFSI exists whereby the electrolyte conductivity suddenly increased 4 orders of magnitude while exhibiting elastic and flexible mechanical properties. The phase behavior and transport properties were studied using differential scanning calorimetry and 7Li and 19F solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This is the first example of a fabrication principle that lends itself to a wide range of promising OIPC and ionomeric materials. Subsequent studies are required to characterize and understand the morphology and conductive nature of these systems and their application as electrolyte materials.

Abstract
Rational regulation on polysulfide behaviors is of great significance in pursuit of reliable solution-based lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery chemistry. Herein, we develop a unique polymeric zwitterion (PZI) to establish a smart polysulfide regulation in Li-S batteries. The zwitterionic nature of PZI integrates sulfophilicity and lithiophilicity in the matrix, fostering an ionic environment for selective ion transfer through the chemical interactions with lithium polysulfides (LiPS). When implemented as a functional interlayer in the cell configuration, PZI empowers strong obstruction against polysulfide permeation but simultaneously allows fast Li+ conduction, thus contributing to significant shuttle inhibition as well as the resultant facile and stable sulfur electrochemistry. The PZI-based cells realize excellent cyclability over 1000 cycles with a minimum capacity fading rate of 0.012% per cycle and favorable rate capability up to 5 C. Moreover, a high areal capacity retention of 5.3 mAh cm-2 after 300 cycles can be also obtained under raised sulfur loading and limited electrolyte, demonstrating great promise in developing high-efficiency and long-lasting Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Lithium metal is an ideal anode for lithium batteries due to its low electrochemical potential and high theoretical capacity. However, safety issues arising from lithium dendrite growth have significantly reduced the practical applicability of lithium metal batteries. Here, we report the addition of octaphenyl polyoxyethylene as an electrolyte additive to enable a stable complex layer on the surface of the lithium anode. This surface layer not only promotes uniform lithium deposition, but also facilitates the formation of a robust solid-electrolyte interface film comprising cross-linked polymer. As a result, lithium|lithium symmetric cells constructed using the octaphenyl polyoxyethylene additive exhibit excellent cycling stability over 400 cycles at 1 mA cm−2, and outstanding rate performance up to 4 mA cm−2. Full cells assembled with a LiFePO4 cathode exhibit high rate capability and impressive cyclability, with capacity decay of only 0.023% per cycle. Despite the large theoretical promise of Li metal anode, the dendrite growth poses a serious safety challenge. Here the authors address this issue by adding octaphenyl polyoxyethylene as an electrolyte additive which facilitates the formation of a dual-functional layer and excellent performance.

Abstract
The diffusion of lithium ions decoupled from a solid polymer electrolyte matrix is the key for high-energy electrochemical devices with the safety needed for commercial use. This Letter reports how the ion mobility in a single-phase hybrid polyelectrolyte (SPHP) matrix can be tuned by changing an inorganic coordinating atom from silicon (Si) to germanium (Ge). Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) results show that the lithium ion activation barrier in the polyelectrolyte with Si can be modulated from 0.26 eV to the unprecedented value of 0.12 eV in the polyelectrolyte with Ge. Density functional theory is used to show that the electronic structures of both polymers are very different, although their chemical structures are very similar, except for the coordinating atom. This simple chemical substitution route will certainly increase the interest in these polymers for applications in electrochemical devices.

Abstract
The drawbacks of low porosity, inferior electrolyte wettability, low thermal dimensional stability and permissive lithium dendrite growth of the conventional microporous polyolefin-based separators hinder their widely application in the high power density and safe Lithium ion batteries. Herein, highly porous polybenzimidazole-based separator is prepared by a facile non-solvent induced phase separation process (NIPS) using water, ethanol, chloroform and ethyl acetate as the coagulation bath solvent, respectively. It was found that the ethanol is suitable to fabricate uniform morphology macroporous separator with the porosity of 92%, electrolyte uptake of 594 wt.%, and strong mechanical strength of 15.9 MPa. In addition, the experimental tests (electrochemical analysis and XPS test) and density functional theory calculation suggest that the electron-rich imidazole ring of polybenzimidazle can enhance Li+ mobility electrostatic attraction interaction while the block the PF6− mobility via electrostatic repulsion interaction. Therefore, high Li+ transference number of 0.76 was obtained for the neat polybenzimidazole-based polymer electrolyte. As a proof of concept, the Li/LiFePO4 cell with the polybenzimidazole-based polymer electrolyte/1.0 M LiPF6− ethylene carbonate/dimethyl carbonate (v:v = 1:1) electrolyte exhibits excellent rate capability of >100 mAh g−1 at 6 C (1 C = 170 mA g−1) and superior cycle stability of 1000 cycles.

Abstract
Poly(glycidyl ether)s having trifluoromethanesulfonylimide or imidazolium pendant groups are synthesized by thiol-ene reactions. The precise synthesis of a precursor polymer, poly(allyl glycidyl ether), and the following click reactions enable the facile preparation of the polyelectrolytes with the controlled length of main and side chains. The low glass transition temperature (<<0 °C) of the polyethers is beneficial to provide a conductivity as high as 10-6 S cm-1 at room temperature, without compositing any additives. The synthetic approach has advantages of clearly comparing the structural effects of the introduced functional groups and facilely preparing the comprehensive types of polymers.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made to replace graphite anode materials with Li metal in next-generation Li ion batteries, called Li metal batteries (LMBs). However, the development of practical LMBs requires the suppression of Li dendrites. Owing to their ability to relax polarization, single-ion solid polymer electrolytes (SSPEs) are widely considered as an effective strategy for preventing dendrite generation. The novel SSPE membrane prepared in this work, which consists of a polymeric lithium salt modified with an electrolyte solvent, shows single-ion conducting behavior that results in the effective restriction of Li dendritic growth. The SSPE membrane delivers an ionic conductivity as high as 1.42 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature. A LiFePO4 (LFP) coin cell assembled with the SSPE membrane shows excellent rate performance and outstanding cycling stability. In addition, the LFP flexible battery using the SSPE membrane exhibits good practicability and environmental adaptability.

Abstract
Single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte (SICPE) is a safer alternative to the conventional high-performance liquid electrolyte for Li-ion batteries. The performance of SICPEs-based Li-ion batteries is limited due to the low Li+ conductivities of SICPEs at room temperature. Herein, we demonstrated the synthesis of a novel SICPE, poly(ethylene-co-acrylic lithium (fluoro sulfonyl)imide) (PEALiFSI), with acrylic (fluoro sulfonyl)imide anion (AFSI). The solvent- and plasticizer-free PEALiFSI electrolyte, which was assembled at 90 °C under pressure, exhibited self-healing properties with remarkably high Li+ conductivity (5.84 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C). This is mainly due to the self-healing behavior of this electrolyte, which induced to increase the proportion of the amorphous phase. Additionally, the weak interaction of Li+ with the resonance-stabilized AFSI anion is also responsible for high Li+ conductivity. This self-healed SICPE showed high Li+ transference number (ca. 0.91), flame and heat retardancy, and good thermal stability, which concurrently delivered ca. 88.25% (150 mAh g-1 at 0.1C) of the theoretical capacitance of LiFePO4 cathode material at 25 °C with the full-cell configuration of LiFePO4/PEALiFSI/graphite. Furthermore, the self-healed PEALiFSI-based all-solid-state Li battery showed high electrochemical cycling stability with the capacity retention of 95% after 500 charge-discharge cycles.

Suppressed Mobility of Negative Charges in Polymer Electrolytes with an Ether-Functionalized Anion. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2019; 58:12070-12075.

Abstract
Suppressing the mobility of anionic species in polymer electrolytes (PEs) is essential for mitigating the concentration gradient and internal cell polarization, and thereby improving the stability and cycle life of rechargeable alkali metal batteries. Now, an ether-functionalized anion (EFA) is used as a counter-charge in a lithium salt. As the salt component in PEs, it achieves low anionic diffusivity but sufficient Li-ion conductivity. The ethylene oxide unit in EFA endows nanosized self-agglomeration of anions and trapping interactions between the anions and its structurally homologous matrix, poly(ethylene oxide), thus suppressing the mobility of negative charges. In contrast to previous strategies of using anion traps or tethering anions to a polymer/inorganic backbone, this work offers a facile and elegant methodology on accessing selective and efficient Li-ion transport in PEs and related electrolyte materials (for example, composites and hybrid electrolytes).
