Abstract
Functional modification of inorganic particles is an effective approach to tackle the issue of Li+ transport and the lithium dendrites formation in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, PMIA/BiOCl composite separators are prepared by nonsolvent induce phase separation (NIPS) method using P-type semiconductor bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) functionalized poly (m-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMIA) separators. Compared with the polypropylene (PP) separator, PMIA has superior thermal stability and the addition of BiOCl further enhances its flame retardancy. And the prepared PMIA/BiOCl separator presents improved porosity (66.47 %), enhanced electrolyte uptake rate (863 %) and higher ionic conductivity (0.49 mS∙cm-1). Besides, the incorporation of BiOCl can anchor PF6- to the three-dimensional network skeleton of the PMIA/BiOCl separators, enabling the desolvation of Li+ and selectively facilitating Li+ transport (the Li+ transfer number is 0.79). Moreover, the uniform porous structure of the PMIA/BiOCl separators and the efficient transport of Li+ uniformly deposite Li+, and minimize the growth of lithium dendrites. Batteries assembled with PMIA/BiOCl separators have a discharge specific capacity of 124.4 mAh∙g-1 and capacity retention of 96.7 % after 200 cycles at 0.2C. Therefore, this work provides an effective route in the design strategy of separators for LIBs.

Abstract
Challenges associated with lithium dendrite growth and the formation of dead lithium significantly limit the achievable energy density of lithium metal batteries (LMBs), particularly under high operating current densities. Our innovative design employs a state-of-the-art 2500 separator featuring a meticulously engineered cellulose acetate (CA) coating (CA@2500) to suppress dendrite nucleation and propagation. The CO functional groups in CA enhances charge transfer kinetics and triggering the decomposition of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), which leads to the formation of a more robust solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) composed primarily of LiF. Moreover, the introduction of polar functional groups in the CA enhances the separator's hydrophilic properties, facilitating the uniform Li+ flux and creating a conductive pathway for efficient lithium migration. As a result, the CA@2500 separator exhibits a high lithium-ion transfer number (0.88) and conductivity. The lithium symmetric cell assembles with the CA@2500 separator displays a stable cycling performance over 5500 h at a current density and capacity of 10 mA cm-2 and 10 mAh cm-2, respectively. Additionally, LPF battery with CA@2500 separator shows an excellent capacity retention at 0.2 C with an average decay of 0.055 % per cycle. Moreover, a high capacity of 105 mAh g-1 is maintained after 500 cycles at 5 C with an average decay of only 0.027 % per cycle. This work achieved high stability of LMBs through simplified engineering.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for lithium metal batteries have garnered considerable interests owing to their low cost, flexibility, lightweight, and favorable interfacial compatibility with battery electrodes. Their soft mechanical nature compared to solid inorganic electrolytes give them a large advantage to be used in low pressure solid-state lithium metal batteries, which can avoid the cost and weight of the pressure cages. However, the application of SPEs is hindered by their relatively low ionic conductivity. In addressing this limitation, enormous efforts are devoted to the experimental investigation and theoretical calculations/simulation of new polymer classes. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been shown to be effective in enhancing ion transport in SPEs. However, the mechanisms in enhancing Li+ conductivity have rarely been systematically and comprehensively analyzed. Therefore, this review provides an in-depth summary of the mechanisms of MOF-enhanced Li+ transport in MOF-based solid polymer electrolytes (MSPEs) in terms of polymer, MOF, MOF/polymer interface, and solid electrolyte interface aspects, respectively. Moreover, the understanding of Li+ conduction mechanisms through employing advanced characterization tools, theoretical calculations, and simulations are also reviewed in this review. Finally, the main challenges in developing MSPEs are deeply analyzed and the corresponding future research directions are also proposed.

Abstract
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) using Li metals as anodes are conspicuous for high-energy-density energy-storage devices. However, the nonuniform deposition of Li+ ions leading to uncontrolled Li dendrite growth, which adversely affects electrochemical performance and safety, has impeded the practical application of lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Herein, PIM-1, a type of polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM), was utilized for surface engineering of conventional polyolefin separators. This process resulted in the formation of a continuous and homogeneous coating across the separator, facilitating uniform Li+ ion flux and deposition, and consequently reducing dendrite formation. Notably, the loading mass was quite low (0.6 g/m2) through the convenient dipping method. The intrinsic micropores and polar groups (cyano and ether groups) of PIM-1 greatly improved the electrolyte wettability and ionic conductivity of commercial polypropylene (PP) separators. And the PIM-1 coating guided Li+ flux to achieve uniform Li deposition. Moreover, the polar groups (cyano and ether groups) of PIM-1 are beneficial to the desolvation of Li+-solvates. As a result, the synergetic effect of uniform Li+ flux, desolvation, and enhanced mechanical strength of separators brings about considerable improvement in cycle life, suppression of Li dendrite, and Coulombic efficiency for LMBs. As this surface engineering is simple, relatively low-cost, and effective, this work provides fresh insights into separators for LMBs.

Abstract
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs), with high energy densities, are strong contenders for the next generation of energy storage systems. Nevertheless, the unregulated growth of lithium dendrites and the unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) significantly hamper their cycling efficiency and raise serious safety concerns, rendering LMBs unfeasible for real-world implementation. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their derivatives have emerged as multifunctional materials with significant potential for addressing the inherent problems of the anode electrode of the lithium metal. This potential stems from their abundant metal-affine functional groups, internal channels, and widely tunable architecture. The original COFs, their derivatives, and COF-based composites can effectively guide the uniform deposition of lithium ions by enhancing conductivity, transport efficiency, and mechanical strength, thereby mitigating the issue of lithium dendrite growth. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of COF-based and derived materials employed for mitigating the challenges posed by lithium dendrites in LMB. Additionally, we present prospects and recommendations for the design and engineering of materials and architectures that can render LMBs feasible for practical applications.

Abstract
Revitalizing metal anodes for rechargeable batteries confronts challenges such as dendrite formation, limited cyclicity, and suboptimal energy density. Despite various efforts, a practical fabrication method for dendrite-free metal anodes remains unavailable. Herein, focusing on Li as exemplar, a general strategy is reported to enhance reversibility of the metal anodes by forming alloyed metals, which is achieved by induction heating of 3D substrate, lithiophilic metals, and Li within tens of seconds. It is demonstrated that preferred alloying interactions between substrates and lithiophilic metals created a lithiophilic metal-rich region adjacent to the substrate, serving as ultrastable lithiophilic host to guide dendrite-free deposition, particularly during prolonged high-capacity cycling. Simultaneously, an alloying between lithiophilic metals and Li creates a Li-rich region adjacent to electrolyte that reduces nucleation overpotential and constitutes favorable electrolyte-Li interface. The resultant composite Li anodes paired with high areal loading LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathodes achieve superior cycling stability and remarkable energy density above 1200 Wh L-1 (excluding packaging). Furthermore, this approach shows broader applicability to other metal anodes plagued by dendrite-related challenges, such as Na and Zn. Overall, this work paves the way for development of commercially viable metal-based batteries that offer a combination of safety, high energy density, and durability.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries, as an excellent energy storage solution, require continuous innovation in component design to enhance safety and performance. In this review, we delve into the field of eco-friendly lithium-ion battery separators, focusing on the potential of cellulose-based materials as sustainable alternatives to traditional polyolefin separators. Our analysis shows that cellulose materials, with their inherent degradability and renewability, can provide exceptional thermal stability, electrolyte absorption capability, and economic feasibility. We systematically classify and analyze the latest advancements in cellulose-based battery separators, highlighting the critical role of their superior hydrophilicity and mechanical strength in improving ion transport efficiency and reducing internal short circuits. The novelty of this review lies in the comprehensive evaluation of synthesis methods and cost-effectiveness of cellulose-based separators, addressing significant knowledge gaps in the existing literature. We explore production processes and their scalability in detail, and propose innovative modification strategies such as chemical functionalization and nanocomposite integration to significantly enhance separator performance metrics. Our forward-looking discussion predicts the development trajectory of cellulose-based separators, identifying key areas for future research to overcome current challenges and accelerate the commercialization of these green technologies. Looking ahead, cellulose-based separators not only have the potential to meet but also to exceed the benchmarks set by traditional materials, providing compelling solutions for the next generation of lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are anticipated to meet the demand for high energy density, but the growth of lithium dendrites seriously hinders its practical application. Herein, we constructed a kind of composite separator (ZIF-90@PP) consisting of zeolite imidazole framework-90 (ZIF-90) and polypropylene (PP) to promote the uniform deposition of Li+ and inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites. The aldehyde groups interacting with TFSI- and the nitrogen-containing negative groups attracting Li+ of ZIF-90 can facilitate the dissociation of LiTFSI to release more Li+, thus alleviating the influence of space charge near the electrode surface and accelerating the transfer of Li+. Not only does the excellent electrolyte wettability of ZIF-90 enhance the electrolyte retention capacity of the separator, but the orderly nano-channels in ZIF-90 also restrict the free migration of anions and homogenize the distribution of Li+. Consequently, the functional separator achieves a long-term stable Li plating/stripping cycling for over 780 h at 2 mA cm-2. Moreover, an impressive average coulombic efficiency of 98.67% at 0.5 C after 300 cycles is realized by Li || LFP full cells based on ZIF-90@PP with a capacity retention rate of 71.22%. The high-rate and long cycling performance of the modified Li || LFP cells further demonstrates the advantages of the ZIF-90@PP composite separator.

Abstract
The disposal of waste lithium batteries, especially waste separators, has always been a problem, incineration and burial will cause environmental pollution, therefore, the development of degradable and high-performance separators has become an important challenge. Herein, UiO-66-NH2 particles were successfully anchored onto bacterial cellulose (BC) separators by epichlorohydrin (ECH) as a crosslinker, then a BC/UiO-66-NH2 composite separator was prepared by vacuum filtration. The ammonia groups (-NH2) from UiO-66-NH2 can form hydrogen bonds with PF6- in the electrolyte, promoting lithium-ion transference. Additionally, UiO-66-NH2 can store the electrolyte and tune the porosity of the separator. The lithium ion migration number (0.62) of the battery assembled with BC/UiO-66-NH2 composite separator increased by 50 % compared to the battery assembled with commercial PP separator (0.45). The discharge specific capacity of the battery assembled with BC/UIO-66-NH2 composite separator after 50 charge and discharge cycles is 145.4 mAh/g, which is higher than the average discharge specific capacity of 114.3 mAh/g of the battery assembled with PP separator. When the current density is 2C, the minimum discharge capacity of the battery assembled with BC/UiO-66-NH2 composite separator is 85.3 mAh/g. The electrochemical performance of the BC/UiO-66-NH2 composite separator is significantly better than that of the commercial PP separator. In addition, -NH2 can offer a nitrogen source to facilitate degradation of the BC separators, whereby the BC/UiO-66-NH2 composite separator could be completely degraded in 15 days.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are the key materials in the new generation of all-solid-state lithium ion/metal batteries. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal materials for developing solid electrolytes because of their structural diversity and porous properties. However, there are several significant issues and obstacles involved, such as lower ion conductivity, a smaller ion transport number, a narrower electrochemical stability window and poor interface contact. In this review, a comprehensive analysis and summary of the unique ion-conducting behavior of MOF-based electrolytes in rechargeable batteries are presented, and the different design principles of MOF-based SSEs are classified and emphasized. Accordingly, four design principles for achieving these MOF-based SSEs are presented and the influence of SSEs combined with MOFs on the electrochemical performance of the batteries is described. Finally, the challenges in the application of MOF materials in lithium ion/metal batteries are explored, and directions for future research on MOF-based electrolytes are proposed. This review will deepen the understanding of MOF-based electrolytes and promote the development of high-performance solid-state lithium ion/metal batteries. This review not only provides theoretical guidance for research on new MOF-based SSE systems, but also contributes to further development of MOFs applied to rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
The separator is an important component in batteries, with the primary function of separating the positive and negative electrodes and allowing the free passage of ions. Porous organic framework materials have a stable connection structure, large specific surface area, and ordered pores, which are natural places to store electrolytes. And these materials with specific functions can be designed according to the needs of researchers. The performance of porous organic framework-based separators used in rechargeable lithium metal batteries is much better than that of polyethylene/propylene separators. In this paper, the three most classic organic framework materials (MOF, COF, and HOF) are analyzed and summarized. The applications of MOF, COF, and HOF separators in lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium metal anode, and solid electrolytes are reviewed. Meanwhile, the research progress of these three materials in different fields is discussed based on time. Finally, in the conclusion, the problems encountered by MOF, COF, and HOF in different fields as well as their future research priorities are presented. This review will provide theoretical guidance for the design of porous framework materials with specific functions and further stimulate researchers to conduct research on porous framework materials.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries, with high energy density and long cycle life, have become the battery of choice for most vehicles and portable electronic devices; however, energy density, safety and cycle life require further improvements. Single-functional group electrolyte additives are very limited in practical applications, a ternary polymer bifunctional electrolyte additive copolymer (acrylonitrile-butyl hexafluoro methacrylate- poly (ethylene glycol) methacrylate- methyl ether) (PMANHF) was synthesized by free radical polymerization of acrylonitrile, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4-hexafluorobutyl methacrylate and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate. A series of characterizations show that in Li metal anodes, the preferential reduction of PMANHF is conducive to the formation of a uniform and stable solid electrolyte interphase layer, and Li deposition is uniform and dense. At the NCM811 cathode, a film composed of LiF- and Li3N-rich is formed at the cathode-electrolyte interface, mitigating the side reaction at the interface. At 1.0 mA cm-2, the Li/Li cell can be stabilized for 1000 cycles. In addition, the Li/NCM811 cell can stabilize 200 cycles with a cathode capacity of 153.7 mAh g-1, with the capacity retention of 89.93 %, at a negative/positive capacity ratio of 2.5. This study brings to light essential ideas for the fabrication of additives for lithium-metal batteries.

Abstract
High-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are confronted with crucial concerns of security and a short cycle lifespan caused by the uncontrollable formation of lithium (Li) dendrites. The poor thermal stability and heterogeneous Li deposition of conventional polyolefin separators often cause battery short circuiting and thermal runaway in LMBs. Herein, a novel dual-functional PE composite separator (PI-COOH/PE) coated by carboxyl polyimide (PI) microspheres is fabricated by an etching-acidification method. The three-dimensional (3D) high-temp PI microsphere with rich carboxyl groups on the surface improve the security of LMBs at extremely high temperatures and facilitate the formation of a stable and uniform SEI layer, which contributes to accelerating the Li+ transport and stabilizing the formation of the SEI layer. Consequently, the Li symmetric cell assembled with the (PI-COOH)/PE separator exhibits stable overpotential over 3000 h, and the corresponding Li//NCM811 full cells also show a high-level discharge capacity of 146.6 mAh g-1 at 5 C. Meanwhile, it also demonstrates outstanding cycling stability and thermal safety, which can survive continuously over 160 min at 140 °C (vs 21 min for PE). The above results indicate the (PI-COOH)/PE separator constructed by a low-cost and industrial-friendly strategy simultaneously addresses high-temperature stability and dendrite resistance.

Abstract
Regulating ion transport is a prevailing strategy to suppress lithium dendrite growth, in which the distribution of ion regulatory sites plays an important role. Here a hyperbranched polyamidoamine (HBPA) grafted polyethylene (PE) composite separator (HBPA-g-PE) is reported. The densely and uniformly distributed positive -NH2 and negative -CHNO- groups efficiently restrict the anion migration and promote Li+ transport at the surface of the lithium metal anode. The obtained Li foil symmetric cell delivers a stable cycle performance with a low-voltage hysteresis of 130 mV for over 1500 h (3000 cycles) at an ultrahigh current density of 20 mA cm-2 and a practical areal capacity of 5 mAh cm-2. Moreover, HBPA-g-PE separator enables a practical lithium-sulfur battery to achieve over 200-cycle stable performance with initial and retained capacity of 700 and 455 mAh g-1, at a high sulfur loading of 4 mg cm-2 and a low electrolyte content/sulfur loading ratio of 8 μL mg-1.

Abstract
Due to the high safety, flexibility, and excellent compatibility with lithium metals, composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) are the best candidates for next-generation lithium metal batteries, and the construction of fast and uniform Li+ transport is a critical part of the development of CSEs. In this paper, a stable three-dimensional metal-organic framework (MOF) network was obtained using polydopamine as a medium, and a high-performance CSE reinforced by the three-dimensional MOF network was constructed, which not only provides a continuous channel for Li+ transport but also restricts large anions and releases more mobile Li+ through a Lewis acid-base interaction. This strategy endows our CSEs with an ionic conductivity (7.1 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 60 °C), a wide electrochemical window (5.0 V), and a higher Li+ transfer number (0.54). At the same time, the lithium symmetric batteries can be stably cycled for 2000 h at 0.1 mA cm-2, exhibiting excellent electrochemical stability. The LiFePO4/Li cells have a high initial discharge specific capacity of 153.9 mAh g-1 at 1C, with a capacity retention of 80% after 915 cycles. This paper proposes an approach for constructing three-dimensional MOF network-enhanced CSEs, which provides insights into the design and development of MOFs for the positive effects of high-performance CSEs.

Abstract
The increasing global energy consumption has led to the rapid development of renewable energy storage technologies. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been extensively studied and utilized for reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy storage. Nevertheless, designing new materials for LIB applications with high capacity and long-term stability is highly desired but remains a challenging task. Recently, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as superior candidates for LIB applications due to their high porosity, well-defined pores, highly customizable structure, and tunable functionalities. These merits enable the preparation of tailored COFs with predesigned redox-active moieties and suitable porous channels that can improve the lithium-ion storage and transportation. This review summarizes the recent progress in the development of COFs and their composites for a variety of LIB applications, including (quasi) solid-state electrolytes, electrode materials, and separators. Finally, the challenges and potential future directions of employing COFs for LIBs are also briefly discussed, further promoting the foundation of this class of exciting materials for future advances in energy-related applications.

Abstract
A practical and effective approach to improve the cycle stability of high-energy density lithium metal batteries (LMBs) is to selectively regulate the growth of the lithium anode. The design of desolvation and lithiophilic structure have proved to be significant means to regulate the lithium deposition process. Here, a fluorinated polymer lithiophilic separator (LS) loaded with a metal-organic framework (MOF801) is designed, which facilitates the rapid transfer of Li+ within the separator owing to the MOF801-anchored PF6 - from the electrolyte, Li deposition is confined in the plane resulting from the polymer fiber layer rich in lithiophilic groups (C─F). The numerical simulation results confirm that LS induces a uniform electric field and Li+ concentration distribution. Visualization technology records the behavior of regular Li deposition in Li||Li and Li||Cu cells equipping LS. Therefore, LS exhibits an ultrahigh Li+ transference number (tLi + = 0.80) and a large exchange current density (j0 = 1.963 mA cm-2 ). LS guarantees the stable operation of Li||Li cells for over 1000 h. In addition, the LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 ||Li cell equipped with LS exhibits superior rate and cycle performances owing to the formation of LiF-rich robust SEI layers. This study provides a way forward for dendrite-free Li anodes from the perspective of separator engineering.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. To develop long-life LSBs, there is an urgent need to develop functional materials with higher catalytic activity toward polysulfides and reduced dendritic lithium growth. Herein, an electrostatic field electrocatalyst is designed in a zwitterionic covalent organic framework (COF) with a "two birds with one stone" ability for simultaneously overcoming obstacles in the lithium metal anode and sulfur cathode. The synergism between cationic and anionic moieties in the zwitterionic COF creates an electrostatic field for bidirectionally catalyzing S cathode conversion. Besides, the rational design of zwitterionic COF as a separator modification layer allows lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) dissociation and fast lithium-ion conduction, which alleviates lithium dendrite growth and thus improves the cycling life of LSBs. This contribution not only pioneers the application of zwitterionic COF in the field of LSBs but also highlights the potential of electrostatic field electrocatalysts.

[PMID: 37896363 PMCID: PMC10611082 DOI: 10.3390/polym15204120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Simultaneously high-rate and high-safety lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have long been the research focus in both academia and industry. In this study, a multifunctional composite membrane fabricated by incorporating poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with magnesium carbonate hydroxide (MCH) nanofibers was reported for the first time. Compared to commercial polypropylene (PP) membranes and neat PVDF membranes, the composite membrane exhibits various excellent properties, including higher porosity (85.9%) and electrolyte wettability (539.8%), better ionic conductivity (1.4 mS·cm-1), and lower interfacial resistance (93.3 Ω). It can remain dimensionally stable up to 180 °C, preventing LIBs from fast internal short-circuiting at the beginning of a thermal runaway situation. When a coin cell assembled with this composite membrane was tested at a high temperature (100 °C), it showed superior charge-discharge performance across 100 cycles. Furthermore, this composite membrane demonstrated greatly improved flame retardancy compared with PP and PVDF membranes. We anticipate that this multifunctional membrane will be a promising separator candidate for next-generation LIBs and other energy storage devices, in order to meet rate and safety requirements.

Abstract
Homogeneous ion transport during Li+ plating/stripping plays a significant role in the stability of Li metal anodes (LMAs) and the electrochemical performance of Li metal batteries (LMBs). Controlled ion transport with uniform Li+ distribution is expected to suppress notorious Li dendrite growth while stabilizing the susceptible solid electrolyte interfacial (SEI) film and optimizing the electrochemical stability. Here, we are committed to rendering a comprehensive study of Li+ transport during the Li plating/stripping process related to the interactions between the Li dendrites and SEI film. Moreover, rational ion modulation strategies based on functional separators, artificial SEI films, solid-state electrolytes and structured anodes are introduced to homogenize Li+ flux and stabilize the lithium metal surface. Finally, the current issues and potential opportunities for ion transport regulation to boost the high energy density of LMBs are described.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal batteries are among the most promising devices for high energy storage applications but suffer from severe and irregular Li dendrite growth. Here, it is demonstrated that the issue can be well tackled by precisely designing the leaf-like membrane with hierarchical structure and exquisite fluidic channels. As a proof of concept, plant leaf-inspired membrane (PLIM) separators are prepared using natural attapulgite nanorods. The PLIM separators feature super-electrolyte-philicity, high thermal stability and high ion-selectivity. Thus, the separators can guide uniform and directed Li growth on the Li anode. The Li//PLIM//Li cell with limited Li anode shows high Coulombic efficiency and cycling stability over 1500 h with small overpotential and interface impedance. The Li//PLIM//S battery exhibits high initial capacity (1352 mAh g-1 ), cycling stability (0.019% capacity decay per cycle at 1 C over 500 cycles), rate performance (673 mAh g-1 at 4 C), and high operating temperature (65 °C). The separators can also effectively improve reversibility and cycling stability of the Li/Li cell and Li//LFP battery with carbonate-based electrolyte. As such, this work provides fresh insights into the design of bioinspired separators for dendrite-free metal batteries.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to effectively combine the advantages of polymer and ceramic nanoparticles and improve the comprehensive performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) diaphragm. A flexible film composed of electro-spun P(VDF-HFP) nanofibers covered by a layer of mesoporous silica (P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2) was synthesized via a sol-gel transcription method, then used as a scaffold to absorb organic electrolyte to make gel a electrolyte membrane (P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2-GE) for LIBs. The P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2-GE presents high electrolyte uptake (~1000 wt%), thermal stability (up to ~350 °C), ionic conductivity (~2.6 mS cm-1 at room temperature), and excellent compatibility with an active Li metal anode. Meanwhile, F-doping carbon/silica composite nanofibers (F-C@SiO2) were also produced by carbonizing the P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2 film under Ar and used to make an electrode. The assembled F-C@SiO2|P(VDF-HFP)@SiO2-GE|Li half-cell showed long-cycle stability and a higher discharge specific capacity (340 mAh g-1) than F-C@SiO2|Celgard 2325|Li half-cell (175 mAh g-1) at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 after 300 cycles, indicating a new way for designing and fabricating safer high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
Traditional polyolefin separators for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) often experience limited thermal stability and intrinsic flammability, resulting in great safety risks during their usage. Therefore, it is highly important to develop novel flame-retardant separators for safe LIBs with high performance. In this work, we report a flame-retardant separator derived from boron nitride (BN) aerogel with a high BET surface area of 1127.3 m2 g-1. The aerogel was pyrolyzed from a melamine-boric acid (MBA) supramolecular hydrogel, which was self-assembled at an ultrafast speed. The in-situ evolution details of the nucleation-growth process of the supramolecules could be observed in real-time using a polarizing microscope under ambient conditions. The BN aerogel was further composited with bacterial cellulose (BC) to form a BN/BC composite aerogel with excellent flame-retardant performance, electrolyte-wetting ability and high mechanical property. By using the BN/BC composite aerogel as the separator, the developed LIBs exhibited high specific discharge capacity of 146.5 mAh g-1 and excellent cyclic performance, maintaining 500 cycles with a capacity degradation of only 0.012% per cycle. The high-performance flame-retardant BN/BC composite aerogel represents a promising candidate for separators not only in LIBs but also in other flexible electronics.

Abstract
Energy storage devices require separators with sufficient lithium-ion transfer and restrained lithium dendrite growth. Herein, PMIA separators tuned using MIL-101(Cr) (PMIA/MIL-101) were designed and fabricated by a one-step casting process. At 150 °C, the Cr3+ in the MIL-101(Cr) framework sheds two water molecules to form an active metal site that complexes with PF6- in the electrolyte on the solid/liquid interface, leading to improved Li+ transport. The Li+ transference number of the PMIA/MIL-101 composite separator was found to be 0.65, which is about 3 times higher than that of the pure PMIA separator (0.23). Additionally, MIL-101(Cr) can modulate the pore size and porosity of the PMIA separator, while its porous structure also functions as additional storage space for the electrolyte, enhancing the electrochemical performance of the PMIA separator. After 50 charge/discharge cycles, batteries assembled using the PMIA/MIL-101 composite separator and the PMIA separator presented a discharge specific capacity of 120.4 and 108.6 mAh/g, respectively. The battery assembled using PMIA/MIL-101 composite separator significantly outperformed both the batteries assembled from pure PMIA and commercial PP separators in terms of cycling performance at 2 C, displaying a discharge specific capacity of 1.5 times that of the battery assembled from PP separators. The chemical complexation of Cr3+ and PF6- plays a critical role to improve the electrochemical performance of the PMIA/MIL-101 composite separator. The tunability and enhanced properties of the PMIA/MIL-101 composite separator make it a promising candidate for use in energy storage devices.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are the core material of solid-state lithium metal batteries (SLMBs), which are being researched urgently owing to their high energy and safety. Both high ionic conductivity and excellent cycling stability remain the primary goal of solid-state electrolytes. Herein, inspired by K+ /Na+ ion channels in cell membrane of eukaryotes, a novel hollow UiO-66 with biomimetic ion channels based on quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs) is designed. The hollow UiO-66 spheres containing biomimetic ion channels can spontaneously combine anions and incorporate more lithium ions, creating improved ionic conductivity (1.15 × 10-3 S cm-1 ) and lithium-ion transference number (0.70) at room temperature. The long-term cycling of symmetric batteries and COMSOL simulations demonstrate that this biomimetic strategy enables uniform ion flux to suppress Li dendrites. Furthermore, the Li metal full cells paired with LiFePO4 cathode exhibit excellent cycling stability and rate performance. Consequently, the strategy of designing biomimetic QSSEs opens up a new path for developing high-performance electrolytes for SLMBs.

Abstract
The free transport of anions through commercial polyolefin separators used in lithium metal batteries (LMBs) gives rise to concentration polarization and rapid growth of lithium dendrites, leading to poor performance and short circuits. Here, a new poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (EAA) separator with functional active sites (i.e., carboxyl groups) distributing along the pore surface was fabricated, forming bioinspired ion-conducting nanochannels within the separator. As the carboxyl groups effectively desolvated Li+ and immobilized anion, the as-prepared EAA separator selectively accelerated the transport of Li+ with transference number of Li+ (tLi+) up to 0.67, which was further confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations. The battery with the EAA separator can be stably cycled over 500 h at 5 mA cm-2. The LMBs with the EAA separator have exceptional electrochemical performance of 107 mAh g-1 at 5 C and a capacity retention of 69% after 200 cycles. This work provides new commercializable separators toward dendrite-free LMBs.

Abstract
Sodium storage batteries are one of the ever-increasing next-generation large-scale energy storage systems owing to the abundant resources and low cost. However, their viability is severely hampered by dendrite-related hazards on anodes. Herein, a novel ultrathin (8 µm) exterior-nonporous separator composed of honeycomb-structured fibers is prepared for homogeneous Na deposition and suppressed dendrite penetration. The unhindered ion transmission greatly benefits from honeycomb-structured fibers with huge electrolyte uptake (376.7%) and the polymer's inherent transport ability. Additionally, polar polymer chains consisting of polyethersulfone and polyvinylidene customize the highly aggregated solvation structure of electrolytes via substantial solvent immobilization, facilitating ion-conductivity-enhanced inorganic-rich solid-electrolyte interphase with remarkable interface endurance. With the reliable mechanical strength of the separator, the assembled sodium-ion full cell delivers significantly improved energy density and high safety, enabling stable operation under cutting and rolling. The as-prepared separator can further be generalized to lithium-based batteries for which apparent dendrite inhibition and cyclability are accessible and demonstrates its potential for practical application.

Abstract
The preparation of electroactive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for applications of supercapacitors and batteries has received much attention and remarkable progress during the past few years. MOF-based materials including pristine MOFs, hybrid MOFs or MOF composites, and MOF derivatives are well designed by a combination of organic linkers (e.g., carboxylic acids, conjugated aromatic phenols/thiols, conjugated aromatic amines, and N-heterocyclic donors) and metal salts to construct predictable structures with appropriate properties. This review will focus on construction strategies of pristine MOFs and hybrid MOFs as anodes, cathodes, separators, and electrolytes in supercapacitors and batteries. Descriptions and discussions follow categories of electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), pseudocapacitors (PSCs), and hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs) for supercapacitors. In contrast, Li-ion batteries (LIBs), Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), Lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs), Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), Sodium-sulfur batteries (SSBs), Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), Zinc-air batteries (ZABs), Aluminum-sulfur batteries (ASBs), and others (e.g., LiSe, NiZn, H+ , alkaline, organic, and redox flow batteries) are categorized for batteries.

Abstract
Lithium metal batteries hold promise for energy storage applications but suffer from uncontrolled lithium dendrites. In this study, a new composite membrane based on modified natural polymer and ZIF-67 is designed and prepared by the in situ composite method for the first time. Among them, a modified natural polymer composed of lithium alginate (LA) and polyacrylamide (PAM) can be obtained by electrospinning. Importantly, the polar functional groups of natural polymers can interact by hydrogen bonding and MOFs can construct lithium-ion transport channels. Consequently, compared with LA-PAM electrolyte without MOF, the electrochemical stability window of ZIF-67-LA-PAM electrolyte becomes wider from 4.5 to 5.2 V, and the lithium-ion transference number (tLi+ ) enhances from 0.326 to 0.627 at 30°C. It is worth noting that the symmetric cells with ZIF-67-LA-PAM have superior stable cycling performance at 40 and 100 mA cm-2 , and a high rate at 10C and 20C for LFP cells. Besides, the cell with NCM811 high-voltage cathode can run stably for 400 cycles with an initial discharge capacity of 136.1 mAh g-1 at 0.5C. This work provides an effective method for designing and preparing MOF-natural polymer composite electrolytes and exhibits an excellent application prospect in high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
For developing the reversible lithium metal anode, constructing an ideal solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) by regulating the Li+ solvation structure is a powerful way to overcome the major obstacles of lithium dendrite and limited Coulombic efficiency (CE). Herein, spherical mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 nanoparticles are coated on a commercial PP separator and used to regulate the Li+ solvation structure for lithium metal batteries (LMBs). The regulated solvation structure exhibits an agminated state with more contact ion pairs (CIPs) and ionic aggregates (AGGs), which successfully construct a homogeneous inorganic-rich SEI in the lithium anode. Meanwhile, the regulated solvation structure weakens the interaction between the solvents and Li+, resulting in low Li+ desolvation energy and uniform Li deposition. Thus, a high CE (∼96.76%), dendrite-free Li anode, and stable Li plating/stripping cycling for approximately 1000 h are achieved in the regulated carbonate-based electrolyte without any additives. Therefore, regulating the Li+ solvation structure in the electrolyte by employing a mesoporous material is a forceful way to construct an ideal SEI and harness lithium metal.

Abstract
The urgent demand for high energy and safety storage devices is pushing the development of lithium metal batteries. However, unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) formation and uncontrollable lithium dendrite growth are still huge challenges for the practical use of lithium metal batteries. Herein, a composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) endowed with designated ion channels is fabricated by constructing nanoscale Uio66-NH2 layer, which has uniformly distributed pore structure to regulate reversible Li plating/stripping in lithium metal batteries. The regular channels within the Uio66-NH2 layer work as an ion sieve to restrict larger TFSI- anions inside its channels and extract Li+ across selectively, which result in a high Li-ion transference number ( t Li + ${t_{{\rm{L}}{{\rm{i}}^{\bm{ + }}}}}$ ) of 0.6. Moreover, CPE provides high ion conductivity (0.245 mS cm-1 at room temperature) and expanded oxidation window (5.1 V) and forms a stable SEI layer. As a result, the assembled lithium metal batteries with CPE exhibit outstanding cyclic stability and capacity retention. The Li/CPE/Li symmetric cell continues plating/stripping over 500 h without short-circuiting. The Li/CPE/LFP cell delivers a reversible capacity of 149.3 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention of 99% after 100 cycles.

Abstract
The use of separators that are thinner than conventional separators (> 20 µm) would improve the energy densities and specific energies of lithium batteries. However, thinner separators increase the risk of internal short circuits from lithium dendrites formed in both lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries. Herein, we grow metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) inside the channels of a polypropylene separator (8 µm thick) using current-driven electrosynthesis, which aggregates the electrolyte in the MOF channels. Compared to unmodified polypropylene separators, the MOF-modified separator (9 µm thick) vastly improves the cycling stability and dendrite resistance of cells assembled with Li metal anodes and carbonate-based electrolytes. As a demonstration, a 354 Wh kg−1 pouch cell with a lithium metal anode and LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 (NCA)-based cathode (N/P = 3.96) is assembled with 9 µm layer of the MOF-modified separator and retains 80% of its capacity after 200 cycles (charged at 75 mA g−1, discharged at 100 mA g−1) at 25 °C. Thin separators can improve batteries’ energy densities but increase cell shortcircuit risks. Here, the authors report an improved thin metal-organic frameworks separator to improve the dendrite formation resistance and cycling stability of high-voltage lithium battery in carbonate electrolytes.

Abstract
The construction of robust (quasi)-solid-state electrolyte (SSE) for flexible lithium-metal batteries is desirable but extremely challenging. Herein, a novel, flexible, and robust quasi-solid-state electrolyte (QSSE) with a "tree-trunk" design is reported for ultralong-life lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). An in-situ-grown metal-organic framework (MOF) layer covers the cellulose-based framework to form hierarchical ion-channels, enabling rapid ionic transfer kinetics and excellent durability. A conductivity of 1.36 × 10-3 S cm-1 , a transference number of 0.72, an electrochemical window of 5.26 V, and a good rate performance are achieved. The flexible LMBs fabricated with as-designed QSSEs deliver areal capacity of up to 3.1 mAh cm-2 at the initial cycle with high mass loading of 14.8 mg cm-2 in Li-NCM811 cells and can retain ≈80% capacity retention after 300 cycles. An ultralong-life of 3000 cycles (6000 h) is also achieved in Li-LiFePO4 cells. This work presents a promising route in constructing a flexible QSSE toward ultralong-life LMBs, and also provides a design rationale for material and structure development in the area of energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
In this work, a facile casting method was utilized to prepare "polymer-in-ceramic" microporous membranes for thermally safe battery separator applications; that is, a series of composite membranes composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2) as a matrix and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a binder were prepared. The effects of different SiO2 contents on various physical properties of membranes such as the porosity, electrolyte absorption rate, electrochemical stability, and especially thermal stability of the SiO2/PVDF composite membranes were systematically studied. Compared with a commercial polypropylene separator, the SiO2/PVDF membrane has a higher porosity (66.0%), electrolyte absorption (239%), and ion conductivity (1.0 mS·cm-1) and superior thermal stability (only 2.1% shrinkage at 200 °C for 2 h) and flame retardancy. When the content of SiO2 in the membrane reached 60% (i.e., PS6), LiFePO4/PS6/Li half-cells exhibited excellent cycle stability (138.2 mA h·g-1 discharging capacity after 100 cycles at 1C) and Coulombic efficiency (99.1%). The above advantages coupled with the potential for rapid and large-scale production reveal that the "polymer-in-ceramic" SiO2/PVDF membrane has prospective separator applications in secondary lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
In this study, two nitrile-functionalized spiro-twisted benzoxazine monomers, namely 2,2'-((6,6,6',6'-tetramethyl-6,6',7,7'-tetrahydro-2H,2'H-8,8'-spirobi[indeno[5,6-e][1,3]oxazin]-3,3'(4H,4'H)-diyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))diacetonitrile (TSBZBC) and 4,4'-(6,6,6',6'-tetramethyl-6,6',7,7'-tetrahydro-2H,2'H-8,8'-spirobi[indeno[5,6-e][1,3]oxazin]-3,3'(4H,4'H)-diyl)dibenzonitrile (TSBZBN) were successfully developed as cross-linkable precursors. In addition, the incorporation of the nitrile group by covalent bonding onto the crosslinked spiro-twisted molecular chains improve the miscibility of SPE membranes with lithium salts while maintaining good mechanical properties. Owing to the presence of a high fractional free volume of spiro-twisted matrix, the -CN groups would have more space for rotation and vibration to assist lithium migration, especially for the benzyl cyanide-containing SPE. When combined with poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) electrolytes, a new type of CN-containing semi-interpenetrating polymer networks for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) were prepared. The PEO-TSBZBC and PEO-TSBZBN composite SPEs (with 20 wt% crosslinked structure in the polymer) are denoted as the BC20 and BN20, respectively. The BC20 sample exhibited an ionic conductivity (σ) of 3.23 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 80 °C and a Li+ ion transference number of 0.187. The LiFePO4 (LFP)|BC20|Li sample exhibited a satisfactory charge-discharge capacity of 163.6 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C (with approximately 100% coulombic efficiency). Furthermore, the Li|BC20|Li cell was more stable during the Li plating/stripping process than the Li|BN20|Li and Li|PEO|Li samples. The Li|BC20|Li symmetric cell could be cycled continuously for more than 2700 h without short-circuiting. In addition, the specific capacity of the LFP|BC20|Li cell retained 87% of the original value after 50 cycles.

Abstract
Improving dissociation and diffusion of lithium ions is the key to solving the practical application of polymer-based solid-state electrolytes (SSE). Here, a low-cost three-dimensional hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanowire is used in polyethene oxide to obtain an enhanced lithium-ion electrolyte. The oxygen-rich interface of HAP provides an integrated dissociation-diffusion platform for lithium salts. The TFSI- anions tend to coordinate with calcium ions, which makes it easier for lithium ions to escape and stay in a free state. The lateral nucleus in the HAP polyethene electrolyte regulates the diffusion from spherical diffusion into linear planar diffusion, which is confirmed by chronoamperometry curves and in situ observation. The stability of the electrolyte at high voltages is improved by inhibiting the superoxide radicals of polyethene oxide chains, which is demonstrated by nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy methods. The initial specific charge capacity of the Li/SPE/LiFePO4 cell with HAP-modified polyethene oxide at 2 C is 148.8 mA h/g, and its initial Coulombic efficiency is 95.17%. After 100 cycles, the specific discharge capacity is 125.5 mA h/g with 99.91% retention per cycle. This oxygen-rich interface strategy would guide the discovery of novel materials for polymer-based SSE.

Abstract
The Li dendrite issue is the major barrier that limits the implement of Li metal anode practically, especially at high current density. From the perspective of the nucleation and growth mechanism of the Li dendrite, we rationally develop a novel Prussian blue analogues (PBA)-derived separator, where tuning the metal ions bestows the PBAs with open metal site to confine anion movement and thereby afford a high Li+ transference number (0.78), and PBA with ordered micropores could act as an ionic sieve to selectively extract Li+ and thereby homogenize Li+ flux. This demonstrates a highly reversible Li plating/stripping cycling for 3000 h at a practically high current density (5.0 mA cm-2). Consequently, a high loading Li||LiFeO4 battery (∼10.0 mg cm-2) demonstrates ultralong cycling life at high current densities (∼5.1 mA cm-2). This work highlights the prospect of optimizing PBAs in regulating ion transport behavior to enable high-power Li metal batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are widely considered to be next-generation storage technologies due to their high energy density, low cost and non-toxicity. However, the soluble lithium polysulfides (LiPS) migrating to the anode side inevitably causes side reactions with the Li anode, resulting in severe corrosion of the Li anode, loss of active materials, and rapid battery failure. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective strategies to avoid LiPS exposure to Li anodes. Herein, a stable UiO-66-ClO4/PDMS (PDUO-Cl) biomimetic protective layer is rationally constructed by the drip coating method. The PDUO-Cl protective layer can effectively suppress the side reaction of Li metal with LiPSs/electrolyte and homogenize the Li+ flux, thus avoiding corrosion of the Li metal anode. As a result, the symmetric cell with the PDUO-Cl protective layer delivers a stable cycle performance greater than 1400 h under a current density of 0.5 mA cm-2. The Li-S batteries with a PDUO-Cl protective layer still show relatively better rate performance and cycling stability (69% after 100 cycles at 0.1 C). This work provides new insights into the design of protective strategies for Li anodes in Li-S batteries.

Abstract
The advantages of sodium metal, such as abundant resources, low cost, high capacity, and high working potential, make it a promising metal anode. Unfortunately, the hazardous dendrite growth of sodium metal is one of the major hindrances for the practical application of sodium metal batteries (SMBs). By applying multifunctional Mg(II)@Ti3 C2 MXene as the protective layer for commercial Cu foil, the wettability of the electrolyte on the current collector is dramatically improved with the suppression of sodium dendrites. Moreover, the first-principles calculations prove that the surface of Mg(0001) is able to establish a connection with Na(111) growth, with Mg acting as the nucleation seed for sodium. The experimental results indicate that even when a high areal capacity of sodium (2 mAh cm-2 ) is deposited, no sodium dendrite is observed. Electrochemical tests, including symmetric cells, Na||Cu asymmetric cells, and full cells, prove the sodiophilic character of Mg2+ -decorated Ti3 C2 MXene. The results may also create a new pathway for developing other dendrite-free metal anodes, such as Li/K/Zn/Ca/Mg.

Abstract
Alkali metal batteries based on lithium, sodium, and potassium anodes and sulfur-based cathodes are regarded as key for next-generation energy storage due to their high theoretical energy and potential cost effectiveness. However, metal-sulfur batteries remain challenged by several factors, including polysulfides' (PSs) dissolution, sluggish sulfur redox kinetics at the cathode, and metallic dendrite growth at the anode. Functional separators and interlayers are an innovative approach to remedying these drawbacks. Here we critically review the state-of-the-art in separators/interlayers for cathode and anode protection, covering the Li-S and the emerging Na-S and K-S systems. The approaches for improving electrochemical performance may be categorized as one or a combination of the following: Immobilization of polysulfides (cathode); catalyzing sulfur redox kinetics (cathode); introduction of protective layers to serve as an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) (anode); and combined improvement in electrolyte wetting and homogenization of ion flux (anode and cathode). It is demonstrated that while the advances in Li-S are relatively mature, less progress has been made with Na-S and K-S due to the more challenging redox chemistry at the cathode and increased electrochemical instability at the anode. Throughout these sections there is a complementary discussion of functional separators for emerging alkali metal systems based on metal-selenium and the metal-selenium sulfide. The focus then shifts to interlayers and artificial SEI/cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers employed to stabilize solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) in metal-sulfur solid-state batteries (SSBs). The discussion of SSEs focuses on inorganic electrolytes based on Li- and Na-based oxides and sulfides but also touches on some hybrid systems with an inorganic matrix and a minority polymer phase. The review then moves to practical considerations for functional separators, including scaleup issues and Li-S technoeconomics. The review concludes with an outlook section, where we discuss emerging mechanics, spectroscopy, and advanced electron microscopy (e.g. cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and cryo-focused ion beam (cryo-FIB))-based approaches for analysis of functional separator structure-battery electrochemical performance interrelations. Throughout the review we identify the outstanding open scientific and technological questions while providing recommendations for future research topics.

Abstract
Electric vehicles (EVs) are being adopted to replace combustion engine vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change; developing batteries with high energy efficiency and long lifespan, in the context of carbon footprint and cost, are essential to ensure the successful transition. Herein, an electrolyte modulator that can effectively mitigate the polarization of lithium-ion batteries, leading to dramatically improved energy efficiency and lifespan, is reported. Under a dynamic stress test that mimics the operations of EVs, commercial pouch cells with a low concentration of electrolyte modulator (0.2 wt% of the electrolyte) exhibit enhanced energy efficiency (87.5% vs 80.4% for the first 500 testing cycles) and prolonged lifespan (fourfold improvement based on 70% energy-output retention). This work provides a simple yet effective strategy toward sustainable electrification of vehicles.

Abstract
The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is considered to be a potential next-generation power battery system, however, it is urgent that suitable materials are found in order to solve a series of challenges, such as the shuttle effect and lithium dendrite growth. As a multifunctional porous material, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be used in different parts of Li-S batteries. In recent years, the application of MOFs in Li-S batteries has been developed rapidly. This review summarizes the milestone works and recent advances of MOFs in various aspects of Li-S batteries, including cathode, separator and electrolyte. The factors affecting the performance of MOFs and the working mechanisms of MOFs in these different parts are also discussed in detail. Finally, the opportunities and challenges for the application of MOFs in Li-S batteries are proposed. We also put forward feasible solutions to related problems. This review will provide better guidance for the rational design of novel MOF-based materials for Li-S batteries.

Abstract
TiNb2O7 (TNO) is regarded as one of the promising next-generation anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high rate capabilities, higher theoretical capacity, and higher lithiation voltage. This enables the cycling of TNO-based anodes under extreme fast charging (XFC) conditions with a minimal risk of lithium plating compared to that of graphite anodes. Here, the gas evolution in real time with TNO-based pouch cells is first reported via operando mass spectrometry. The main gases are identified to be CO2, C2H4, and O2. A solid-electrolyte interphase is detected on TNO, which continues evolving, forming, and dissolving with the lithiation and delithiation of TNO. The gas evolution can be significantly reduced when a protective coating is applied on the TNO particles, reducing the CO2 and C2H4 evolution by ∼2 and 5 times, respectively, at 0.1C in a half-cell configuration. The reduction on gas generation in full cells is even more pronounced. The surface coating also enables 20% improvement in capacity under XFC conditions.
