Abstract
Alkali metals (e.g. Li, Na, and K) and multivalent metals (e.g. Zn, Mg, Ca, and Al) have become star anodes for developing high-energy-density rechargeable batteries due to their high theoretical capacity and excellent conductivity. However, the inevitable dendrites and unstable interfaces of metal anodes pose challenges to the safety and stability of batteries. To address these issues, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as emerging materials, have been widely investigated due to their regular porous structure, flexible molecular design, and high specific surface area. In this minireview, we summarize the research progress of COFs in stabilizing metal anodes. First, we present the research origins of metal anodes and delve into their advantages and challenges as anodes based on the physical/chemical properties of alkali and multivalent metals. Then, special attention has been paid to the application of COFs in the host design of metal anodes, artificial solid electrolyte interfaces, electrolyte additives, solid-state electrolytes, and separator modifications. Finally, a new perspective is provided for the research of metal anodes from the molecular design, pore modulation, and synthesis of COFs.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous batteries adopting Fe-based materials are attracting widespread attention by virtue of high-safety and low-cost. However, the present Fe-based anodes suffer from low electronic/ionic conductivity and unsatisfactory comprehensive performance, which greatly restrict their practicability. Concerning the principle of physical chemistry, fabricating electrodes that could simultaneously achieve ideal thermodynamics and fast kinetics is a promising issue. Herein, hierarchical Fe3O4@Fe foam electrode with enhanced interface/grain boundary engineering is fabricated through an in situ self-regulated strategy. The electrode achieves ultrahigh areal capacity of 31.45 mA h cm-2 (50 mA cm-2), good scale application potential (742.54 mA h for 25 cm2 electrode), satisfied antifluctuation capability, and excellent cycling stability. In/ex situ characterizations further validate the desired thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the electrode endowed with accurate interface regulation, which accounts for salient electrochemical reversibility in a two-stage phase transition and slight energy loss. This work offers a suitable strategy in designing high-performance Fe-based electrodes with comprehensive inherent characteristics for high-safety large-scale energy storage.

Abstract
Constructing composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) integrating the merits of inorganic and organic components is a promising approach to developing high-performance all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs). CSEs are now capable of achieving homogeneous and fast Li-ion flux, but how to escape the trade-off between mechanical modulus and adhesion is still a challenge. Herein, a strategy to address this issue is proposed, that is, intercalating highly conductive, homogeneous, and viscous-fluid ionic conductors into robust coordination laminar framework to construct laminar solid electrolyte with homogeneous and fast Li-ion conduction (LSE-HFC). A 9 µm-thick LSH-HFC, in which poly(ethylene oxide)/succinonitrile is adsorbed by coordination laminar framework with metal-organic framework nanosheets as building blocks, is used here as an example to determine the validity. The Li-ion transfer mechanism is verified and works across the entire LSE-HFC, which facilitates homogeneous Li-ion flux and low migration energy barriers, endowing LSE-HFC with high ionic conductivity of 5.62 × 10-4 S cm-1 and Li-ion transference number of 0.78 at 25 °C. Combining the outstanding mechanical strength against punctures and the enhanced adhesion force with electrodes, LSE-HFC harvests uniform Li plating/stripping behavior. These enable the realization of high-energy-density ASSLMBs with excellent cycling stability when being assembled as LiFePO4/Li and LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2/Li cells.

Abstract
The development of highly producible and interfacial compatible in situ polymerized electrolytes for solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) have been plagued by insufficient transport kinetics and uncontrollable dendrite propagation. Herein, we seek to explore a rationally designed nanofiber architecture to balance all the criteria of SSLMBs, in which La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ (LSC) enriched with high valence-state Co species and oxygen vacancies is developed as electronically conductive nanofillers embedded within ZnO/Zn3N2-functionalized polyimide (Zn-PI) nanofiber framework for the first time, to establish Li+ transport highways for poly vinylene carbonate (PVC) electrolyte and eliminate nonuniform Li deposits. Revealed by characterization and theoretical calculation under electric field, the positive-negative electrical dipole layer in LSC derived from electron migration between Co and O atoms aids in accelerating Li+ diffusion kinetics through densified electric field around filler particle, featuring a remarkable ionic conductivity of 1.50 mS cm-1 at 25 °C and a high Li+ transference number of 0.91 without the risk of electron leakage. Integrating with the preferential sacrifice of ZnO/Zn3N2 on PI nanofiber upon immediate detection of dendritic Li, which takes part in reconfiguring hierarchical SEI chemistry dominated by LixNy/Li-Zn alloy inner layer and LiF outer layer, SSLMBs are further endowed with prolonged cycling lifespan and exceptional rate capability.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries with polymer electrolytes suffer from electrolyte decomposition and lithium dendrites because of the unstable electrode/electrolyte interfaces. Herein, a molecule crowding strategy is proposed to modulate the Li+ coordinated structure, thus in situ constructing the stable interfaces. Since 15-crown-5 possesses superior compatibility with polymer and electrostatic repulsion for anion of lithium salt, the anions are forced to crowd into a Li+ coordinated structure to weaken the Li+ coordination with polymer and boost the Li+ transport. The coordinated anions prior decompose to form LiF-rich, thin, and tough interfacial passivation layers for stabilizing the electrode/electrolyte interfaces. Thus, the symmetric Li-Li cell can stably operate over 4360 h, the LiFePO4||Li full battery presents 97.18% capacity retention in 700 cycles at 2 C, and the NCM811||Li full battery possesses the capacity retention of 83.17% after 300 cycles. The assembled pouch cell shows excellent flexibility (stand for folding over 2000 times) and stability (89.42% capacity retention after 400 cycles). This work provides a promising strategy to regulate interfacial chemistry by modulating the ion environment to accommodate the interfacial issues and will inspire more effective approaches to general interface issues for polymer electrolytes.

Abstract
Hydrogels hold great promise as electrolytes for emerging aqueous batteries, for which establishing a robust electrode-hydrogel interface is crucial for mitigating side reactions. Conventional hydrogel electrolytes fabricated by ex situ polymerization through either thermal stimulation or photo exposure cannot ensure complete interfacial contact with electrodes. Herein, we introduce an in situ electropolymerization approach for constructing hydrogel electrolytes. The hydrogel is spontaneously generated during the initial cycling of the battery, eliminating the need of additional initiators for polymerization. The involvement of electrodes during the hydrogel synthesis yields well-bonded and deep infiltrated electrode-electrolyte interfaces. As a case study, we attest that, the in situ-formed polyanionic hydrogel in Zn-MnO2 battery substantially improves the stability and kinetics of both Zn anode and porous MnO2 cathode owing to the robust interfaces. This research provides insight to the function of hydrogel electrolyte interfaces and constitutes a critical advancement in designing highly durable aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Owing to their high-voltage stabilities, halide superionic conductors such as Li3YCl6 recently emerged as promising solid electrolyte (SE) materials for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). It has been shown that by either introducing off-stoichiometry in solid-state (SS) synthesis or using a mechanochemical (MC) synthesis method the ionic conductivities of Li3-3xY1+xCl6 can increase up to an order of magnitude. The underlying mechanism, however, is unclear. In the present study, we adopt a hopping frequency analysis method of impedance spectra to reveal the correlations in stoichiometry, crystal structure, synthesis conditions, Li+ carrier concentrations, hopping migration barriers, and ionic conductivity. We show that unlike the conventional Li3YCl6 made by SS synthesis, mobile Li+ carriers in the defect-containing SS-Li3-3xY1+xCl6 (0 < x < 0.17) and MC-Li3-3xY1+xCl6 are generated with an activation energy and their concentration is dependent on temperature. Higher ionic conductivities in these samples arise from a combination of a higher Li+ carrier concentration and lower migration energy barriers. A new off-stoichiometric halide (Li2.61Y1.13Cl6) with the highest ionic conductivity (0.47 mS cm-1) in the series is discovered, which delivers exceptional cycling performance (∼90% capacity retention after 1000 cycles) in ASSB cells equipped with an uncoated high-energy LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cathode. This work sheds light on the thermal activation process that releases trapped Li+ ions in defect-containing halides and provides guidance for the future development of superionic conductors for all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) are highly promising as next-generation energy storage devices owing to their potential for great safety and high energy density. This work demonstrates that composite solid polymer electrolyte with vertically-aligned card-house structure can simultaneously improve the high rate and long-term cycling performance of ASSLBs. The vertical alignment of laponite nanosheets creates fast and uniform Li+ ion transport channels at the nanosheets/polymer interphase, resulting in high ionic conductivity of 8.9 × 10-4 S cm-1 and Li+ transference number of 0.32 at 60 °C, as well as uniformly distributed solid electrolyte interphase. Such electrolyte is characterized by high mechanical strength, low flammability, excellent structural stability and stable ion transport channels. In addition, the ASSLB cell with the electrolyte and LiFePO4 cathode delivers a high discharge specific capacity of 124.8 mAh g-1 , which accounts for 85.6% of its initial capacity after 500 cycles at 1C. The reasonable design through structural control strategy by interconnecting the vertically-aligned nanosheets open a way to fabricate high performance composite solid polymer electrolytes.

Abstract
Thiophosphate-based all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are considered the most promising candidate for the next generation of energy storage systems. However, thiophosphate-based ASSBs suffer from fast capacity fading with nickel-rich cathode materials. In many reports, this capacity fading is attributed to an increase of the charge transfer resistance of the composite cathode caused by interface degradation and/or chemo-mechanical failure. The change in the charge transfer resistance is typically determined using impedance spectroscopy after charging the cells. In this work, we demonstrate that large differences in the long-term cycling performance also arise in cells, which exhibit a comparable charge transfer resistance at the cathode side. Our results confirm that the charge transfer resistance of the cathode is not necessarily responsible for capacity fading. Other processes, such as resistive processes on the anode side, can also play a major role. Since these processes usually depend on the state of charge, they may not appear in the impedance spectra of fully charged cells; i.e., analyzing the impedance spectra of charged cells alone is insufficient for the identification of major resistive processes. Thus, we recommend measuring the impedance at different potentials to get a complete understanding of the reasons for capacity fading in ASSBs.

Highly Efficient Aligned Ion-Conducting Network and Interface Chemistries for Depolarized All-Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2024; 16:86. [PMID: 38214843 PMCID: PMC10786779 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-023-01301-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
Improving the long-term cycling stability and energy density of all-solid-state lithium (Li)-metal batteries (ASSLMBs) at room temperature is a severe challenge because of the notorious solid-solid interfacial contact loss and sluggish ion transport. Solid electrolytes are generally studied as two-dimensional (2D) structures with planar interfaces, showing limited interfacial contact and further resulting in unstable Li/electrolyte and cathode/electrolyte interfaces. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) architecturally designed composite solid electrolytes are developed with independently controlled structural factors using 3D printing processing and post-curing treatment. Multiple-type electrolyte films with vertical-aligned micro-pillar (p-3DSE) and spiral (s-3DSE) structures are rationally designed and developed, which can be employed for both Li metal anode and cathode in terms of accelerating the Li+ transport within electrodes and reinforcing the interfacial adhesion. The printed p-3DSE delivers robust long-term cycle life of up to 2600 cycles and a high critical current density of 1.92 mA cm-2. The optimized electrolyte structure could lead to ASSLMBs with a superior full-cell areal capacity of 2.75 mAh cm-2 (LFP) and 3.92 mAh cm-2 (NCM811). This unique design provides enhancements for both anode and cathode electrodes, thereby alleviating interfacial degradation induced by dendrite growth and contact loss. The approach in this study opens a new design strategy for advanced composite solid polymer electrolytes in ASSLMBs operating under high rates/capacities and room temperature.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium (Li) metal batteries (ASSLMBs) employing sulfide solid electrolytes have attracted increasing attention owing to superior safety and high energy density. However, the instability of sulfide electrolytes against Li metal induces the formation of two types of incompetent interphases, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and mixed conducting interphase (MCI), which significantly blocks rapid Li-ion transport and induces uneven Li deposition and continuous interface degradation. In this contribution, a dynamically stable mixed conducting interphase (S-MCI) is proposed by in situ stress self-limiting reaction to achieve the compatibility of Li metal with composite sulfide electrolytes (Li6 PS5 Cl (LPSCl) and Li10 GeP2 S12 (LGPS)). The rational design of composite electrolytes utilizes the expansion stress induced by the electrolyte decomposition to in turn constrain the further decomposition of LGPS. Consequently, the S-MCI inherits the high dynamical stability of LPSCl-derived SEI and the lithiophilic affinity of Li-Ge alloy in LGPS-derived MCI. The Li||Li symmetric cells with the protection of S-MCI can operate stably for 1500 h at 0.5 mA cm-2 and 0.5 mAh cm-2 . The Li||NCM622 full cells present stable cycling for 100 cycles at 0.1 C with a high-capacity retention of 93.7%. This work sheds fresh insight into constructing electrochemically stable interphase for high-performance ASSLMBs.

Abstract
Since the huge breakthrough in 2018, research on halide solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) has set off a new craze. In comparison with oxide and sulfide SSEs, halide SSEs have more balanced properties in various aspects, including ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability window, and moisture resistance. Herein, the overall knowledge and deep understanding of halide SSEs and their practical applications in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are introduced. Firstly, the principle of screening halide SSE components is proposed. Among F, Cl, Br and I anions, the Cl anion is excellent owing to its suitable ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability window. The Sc, Y, and lanthanide elements are also more compatible with Cl anions in terms of electronegativity. Secondly, the structural design theory of halide SSEs with high ionic conductivity and the mechanism of Li ion migration are described. A monoclinic structure is more conducive to Li ion migration, compared with trigonal and orthorhombic structures. Additionally, substitution strategies for halide SSEs are discussed, mainly including dual-halogen, isovalent cation substitution, and aliovalent cation substitution. Furthermore, the mechanism of moisture resistance and synthesis method of halide SSEs are analyzed. Compared with the solid-state reaction and mechanochemistry method, wet chemical synthesis is more likely to achieve scale-up production of halide SSEs. Finally, the application prospects and challenges of halide SSEs in ASSBs are outlined.
