Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with their tunable pore sizes and high surface areas, are gaining prominence in Li metal battery applications, including their use as nanofillers in solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) for enhanced ionic conductivity. Yet, when used in SCEs, individual dispersed MOF particles in isolation as nanofillers can impede efficient ion transport in all-solid-state batteries due to the insufficient supply of ionic transport pathways within SCEs. Here, we introduced a continuous SCE nanofiller with long-range assembly interconnected porous MOFs (IMOF_SCE) for effective ion transport pathway supply along the interface between the nanofiller and the polymer matrix. IMOF_SCE achieved Li-ion conductivity (6.72 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 20 °C) and Li-ion transference number (tLi+ = 0.855), resulting in the improved electrochemical performance of Li metal batteries. Additionally, the Li/LiFePO4 full cell integrated with IMOF_SCE achieved an outstanding stable capacity retention of 98.8% in 300 cycles. This work offers insights into the design strategy of effective nanofillers for SCEs and can be adapted for other porous materials.

Abstract
Driven by population growth, the destruction of the environment and the energy demand continue to increase dramatically. This study uses garlic skin and carbon fiber from agricultural and industrial wastes to prepare energy storage devices. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were obtained from garlic skin using high-temperature pyrolysis. The specific capacitance of the gel electrolyte could be effectively increased with a small number of CQDs doping. A methylcellulose-based carbon fiber-electrode was prepared by grinding and depositing the industrial recycled carbon fiber onto a biodegradable methylcellulose substrate. The methylcellulose-based recycled carbon fiber-electrode has the highest specific capacitance, energy density, and power density, which are 155 F/g, 10 Wh/kg, and 4047 W/kg, respectively, at a scan rate of 0.02 V/s, and demonstrates excellent performance, such like high specific capacitance, low internal resistance as well as rapid charge and discharge characteristics, which may have potential to replace the expensive carbon nanotubes and graphenes. The electrodes were made from recycled carbon fiber, the gel electrolyte with garlic CQDs, and a separator assembled into a sandwich structure to form supercapacitors. The capacity retention rate of the supercapacitor still retained 96 % of its initial value after 2000 cycles of charge and discharge testing at a constant current of 0.20 mA. This demonstrates the supercapacitor prepared in this study with competitive power density, energy density, high rate capability, and excellent life cycle stability by combining the garlic skin and carbon fiber from agricultural and industrial wastes, highlighting the enormous potential of agricultural and industrial wastes for energy storage applications.

Abstract
For years, solution-type electrochromic devices (ECDs) have intrigued researchers' interest and eventually rendered themselves into commercialization. Regrettably, challenges such as electrolyte leakage, high flammability, and complicated edge-encapsulation processes limit their practical utilization, hence necessitating an efficient alternate. In this quest, although the concept of solid/gel-polymer electrolyte (SPE/GPE)-based ECDs settled some issues of solution-type ECDs, an array of problems like high operating voltage, sluggish response time, and poor cycling stability have paralyzed their commercial applicability. Herein, we demonstrate a choreographed-CeO2-nanofiller-doped GPE-based ECD outperforming its solution-type counterpart in all merits. The filler-incorporated polymer electrolyte assembly was meticulously weaved through the electrospinning method, and the resultant host was employed for immobilizing electrochromic viologen species. The filler engineering benefits conceived through the tuned shape of CeO2 nanorod and quantum dots, along with the excellent redox shuttling effect of Ce3+/Ce4+, synchronously yielded an outstanding class of GPE, which upon utilization in ECDs delivered impressive electrochromic properties. A combination of features possessed by a particular device (QD-NR/PVDF-HFP/IL/BzV-Fc ECD) such as exceptionally low driving voltage (0.9 V), high transmittance change (ΔT, ∼69%), fast response time (∼1.8 s), high coloration efficiency (∼339 cm2/C), and remarkable cycling stability (∼90% ΔT-retention after 25,000 cycles) showcased a striking potential in the yet-to-realize market of GPE-based ECDs. This study unveils the untapped potential of choreographed nanofillers that can promisingly drive GPE-based ECDs to the doorstep of commercialization.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are gaining a lot more attention than traditional semiconductor quantum dots owing to their intrinsic fluorescence property, chemical inertness, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and simple and inexpensive synthetic route of preparation. These properties allow CQDs to be utilized for a broad range of applications in various fields of scientific research including biomedical sciences, particularly in bioimaging and biomedicines. CQDs are a promising choice for advanced nanomaterials research for bioimaging and biomedicines owing to their unique chemical, physical, and optical properties. CQDs doped with hetero atom, or polymer composite materials are extremely advantageous for biochemical, biological, and biomedical applications since they are easy to prepare, biocompatible, and have beneficial properties. This type of CQD is highly useful in phototherapy, gene therapy, medication delivery, and bioimaging. This review explores the applications of CQDs in bioimaging and biomedicine, highlighting recent advancements and future possibilities to increase interest in their numerous advantages for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries have shown prospects as safe, high-energy electrochemical storage technology for powering regional electrified transportation. Owing to limited ion mobility in crystalline polymer electrolytes, the battery is incapable of operating at subzero temperature. Addition of liquid plasticizer into the polymer electrolyte improves the Li-ion conductivity yet sacrifices the mechanical strength and interfacial stability with both electrodes. In this work, we showed that by introducing a spherical hyperbranched solid polymer plasticizer into a Li+ -conductive linear polymer matrix, an integrated dynamic cross-linked polymer network was built to maintain fully amorphous in a wide temperature range down to subzero. A quasi-solid polymer electrolyte with a solid mass content >90 % was prepared from the cross-linked polymer network, and demonstrated fast Li+ conduction at a low temperature, high mechanical strength, and stable interfacial chemistry. As a result, solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries employing the new electrolyte delivered high reversible capacity and long cycle life at 25 °C, 0 °C and -10 °C to serve energy storage at complex environmental conditions.

Abstract
The organic-inorganic interfaces can enhance Li+ transport in composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) due to the strong interface interactions. However, Li+ non-conductive areas in CSEs with inert fillers will hinder the construction of efficient Li+ transport channels. Herein, CSEs with fully active Li+ conductive networks are proposed to improve Li+ transport by composing sub-1 nm inorganic cluster chains and organic polymer chains. The inorganic cluster chains are monodispersed in polymer matrix by a brief mixed-solvent strategy, their sub-1 nm diameter and ultrafine dispersion state eliminate Li+ non-conductive areas in the interior of inert fillers and filler-agglomeration, respectively, providing rich surface areas for interface interactions. Therefore, the 3D networks connected by the monodispersed cluster chains finally construct homogeneous, large-scale, continuous Li+ fast transport channels. Furthermore, a conjecture about 1D oriented distribution of organic polymer chains along the inorganic cluster chains is proposed to optimize Li+ pathways. Consequently, the as-obtained CSEs possess high ionic conductivity at room temperature (0.52 mS cm-1 ), high Li+ transference number (0.62), and more mobile Li+ (50.7%). The assembled LiFePO4 /Li cell delivers excellent stability of 1000 cycles at 0.5 C and 700 cycles at 1 C. This research provides a new strategy for enhancing Li+ transport by efficient interfaces.

Abstract
Solid-state polymer electrolytes are highly anticipated for next generation lithium ion batteries with enhanced safety and energy density. However, a major disadvantage of polymer electrolytes is their low ionic conductivity at room temperature. In order to enhance the ionic conductivity, here, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are employed to improve the poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) based electrolyte. Owing to the increased amorphous areas of PEO and mobility of Li+ , GQDs modified composite polymer electrolytes achieved high ionic conductivity and favorable lithium ion transference numbers. Significantly, the abundant hydroxyl groups and amino groups originated from GQDs can serve as Lewis base sites and interact with lithium ions, thus promoting the dissociation of lithium salts and providing more ion pathways. Moreover, lithium dendrite is suppressed, associated with high transference number, enhanced mechanical properties and steady interface stability. It is further observed that all solid-state lithium batteries assembled with GQDs modified composite polymer electrolytes display excellent rate performance and cycling stability.

Abstract
Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) with high ionic conductivity and favorable electrolyte/electrode interfacial compatibility are promising alternatives to liquid electrolytes. However, severe parasitic reactions in the Li/electrolyte interface and the air-unstable inorganic fillers have hindered their industrial applications. Herein, surface-edge opposite charged Laponite (LAP) multilayer particles with high air stability were grafted with imidazole ionic liquid (IL-TFSI) to enhance the thermal, mechanical, and electrochemical performances of polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based CPEs. The electrostatic repulsion between multilayers of LAP-IL-TFSI enables them to be easily penetrated by PEO segments, resulting in a pronounced amorphous region in the PEO matrix. Therefore, the CPE-0.2LAP-IL-TFSI exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 1.5 × 10-3 S cm-1 and a high lithium-ion transference number of 0.53. Moreover, LAP-IL-TFSI ameliorates the chemistry of the solid electrolyte interphase, significantly suppressing the growth of lithium dendrites and extending the cycling life of symmetric Li cells to over 1000 h. As a result, the LiFePO4||CPE-0.2LAP-IL-TFSI||Li cell delivers an outstanding capacity retention of 80% after 500 cycles at 2C at 60 °C. CPE-LAP-IL-TFSI also shows good compatibility with high-voltage LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathodes.

Abstract
Inorganic/organic composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) have attracted ever-increasing attentions due to their outstanding mechanical stability and processibility. However, the inferior inorganic/organic interface compatibility limits their ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability, which hinders their application in solid-state batteries. Herein, we report a homogeneously distributed inorganic fillers in polymer by in-situ anchoring SiO2 particles in polyethylene oxide (PEO) matrix (I-PEO-SiO2). Compared with ex-situ CSEs (E-PEO-SiO2), SiO2 particles and PEO chains in I-PEO-SiO2 CSEs are closely welded by strong chemical bonds, thus addressing the issue of interfacial compatibility and realizing excellent dendrite-suppression ability. In addition, the Lewis acid-base interactions between SiO2 and salts facilitate the dissociation of sodium salts and increase the concentration of free Na+. Consequently, the I-PEO-SiO2 electrolyte demonstrates an improved Na+ conductivity (2.3 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 60 °C) and Na+ transference number (0.46). The as constructed Na3V2(PO4)3 ‖ I-PEO-SiO2 ‖ Na full-cell demonstrates a high specific capacity of 90.5 mAh g-1 at 3C and an ultra-long cycling stability (>4000 cycles at 1C), outperforming the state-of-the-art literatures. This work provides an effective way to solve the issue of interfacial compatibility, which can enlighten other CSEs to overcome their interior compatibility.

Abstract
Nanofillers' applicability in gel polymer electrolyte (GPE)-based devices skyrocketed in the last decade as soon as their remarkable benefits were realized. However, their applicability in GPE-based electrochromic devices (ECDs) has hardly seen any development due to challenges such as optical inhomogeneity brought by incompetent nanofiller sizes, transmittance drop due to higher filler loading (usually required), and poor methodologies of electrolyte fabrication. To address such issues, herein, we demonstrate a reinforced polymer electrolyte tailored through poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP),1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4), and four types of mesoporous SiO2 nanofillers, porous (distinct morphologies) and nonporous, two each. The synthesized electrochromic species 1,1'-bis(4-fluorobenzyl)-4,4'-bipyridine-1,1'-diium tetrafluoroborate (BzV, 0.05 M), counter redox species ferrocene (Fc, 0.05 M), and supporting electrolyte (TBABF4, 0.5 M) were first dissolved in propylene carbonate (PC) and then immobilized in an electrospun PVDF-HFP/BMIMBF4/SiO2 host. We distinctly observed that spherical (SPHS) and hexagonal pore (MCMS) morphologies of fillers endowed higher transmittance change (ΔT) and coloration efficiency (CE) in utilized ECDs; particularly for the MCMS-incorporated ECD (GPE-MCMS/BzV-Fc ECD), ΔT reached ∼62.5% and CE soared to 276.3 cm2/C at 603 nm. The remarkable benefit of filler's hexagonal morphology was also seen in the GPE-MCMS/BzV-Fc ECD, which not only marked an astounding ionic conductivity (σ) of ∼13.5 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 25 °C, thus imitating the solution-type ECD's behavior, but also retained ∼77% of initial ΔT after 5000 switching cycles. The enhancement in ECD's performance resulted from merits brought by filler geometries such as the proliferation of Lewis acid-base interaction sites due to the high surface-to-volume ratio, the creation of percolating tunnels, and the emergence of capillary forces triggering facile ion transportation in the electrolyte matrix.

Abstract
Composite solid electrolytes are considered to be the crucial components of all-solid-state lithium batteries, which are viewed as the next-generation energy storage devices for high energy density and long working life. Numerous studies have shown that fillers in composite solid electrolytes can effectively improve the ion-transport behavior, the essence of which lies in the optimization of the ion-transport path in the electrolyte. The performance is closely related to the structure of the fillers and the interaction between fillers and other electrolyte components including polymer matrices and lithium salts. In this review, the dimensional design of fillers in advanced composite solid electrolytes involving 0D-2D nanofillers, and 3D continuous frameworks are focused on. The ion-transport mechanism and the interaction between fillers and other electrolyte components are highlighted. In addition, sandwich-structured composite solid electrolytes with fillers are also discussed. Strategies for the design of composite solid electrolytes with high room temperature ionic conductivity are summarized, aiming to assist target-oriented research for high-performance composite solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Electronic conduction in solid-polymer electrolytes is generally not desired, which causes leakage of electrons or energy loss, and the electronically conductive domains at electrode-electrolyte interfaces can lead to continuous decomposition of electrolytes and shorting issues. However, it is noticed in this work that in an insulating matrix, the conductive domains at certain aspects could also have positive effects on the electrolyte performance with proper control. This work evaluates the limitation and benefits of electronically conductive domains in a solid-polymer electrolyte system and discusses the approach to improve the electrolyte physicochemical properties with densified local electric field distribution, enhanced bulk dielectric property, and charge transfer. By deliberately introducing the conductive domains in a regular solid-polymer electrolyte, stable cycle life, low overpotential, and promising full cell performance could be achieved.

Abstract
Due to the unique safety qualities, solid composite polymer electrolyte (SCPE) has achieved considerable attentions to fabricate high-energy-density lithium metal batteries, but its overall performance still has to be improved. Herein, a high lithium salt content poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based SCPE was developed, enhanced by hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets, presenting perfect electrochemical performance, fast ion transport, and efficient inhibition of lithium dendrite growth. The optimized SCPE (PVDF-L70-B5) could deliver high ionic conductivity (2.98×10-4 S cm-1 ), ultra-high Li+ ion transfer number (0.62), wide electrochemical stability window (5.24 V), and strong mechanical strength (3.45 MPa) at room temperature. Density functional theory calculation further confirmed that the presence of h-BN could promote the dissociation of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide lithium (LiTFSI) and the rapid transfer of Li+ ions. As a result, the assembled symmetric Li/Li battery and asymmetric Li/LiFePO4 battery using PVDF-L70-B5 SCPEs both exhibited high reversible capacity, long-term cycle stability, and high-rate performance when cycled at 60 or 30 °C. The designed SCPEs will open up a new route to synthesize solid-state lithium batteries with high energy density and high safety.

Abstract
Na-ion battery has the potential to be one of the best types of next-generation energy storage devices by virtue of their cost and sustainability advantages. With the demand for high safety, the replacement of traditional organic electrolytes with polymer electrolytes can avoid electrolyte leakage and thermal instability. Polymer electrolytes, however, suffer from low ionic conductivity and large interfacial impedance. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) represent an excellent balance that combines the advantages of high ionic conductivity, low interfacial impedance, high thermal stability, and flexibility. This short review summarizes the recent progress on gel polymer Na-ion batteries, focusing on different preparation approaches and the resultant physical and electrochemical properties. Reasons for the differences in ionic conductivity, mechanical properties, interfacial properties, and thermal stability are discussed at the molecular level. This Review may offer a deep understanding of sodium-ion GPEs and may guide the design of intermolecular interactions for high-performance gel polymer Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
Because of their high ionic conductivity, utilizing gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) is thought to be an effective way to accomplish high-energy-density batteries. Nevertheless, most GPEs have poor adaptability to Ni-rich cathodes to alleviate the problem of inevitable rapid capacity decay during cycling. Therefore, to match LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811), we applied pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA) monomers to polymerize in situ in a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane to obtain GPEs (PETEA-TCGG-PAN). The impedance variations and key groups during the in situ polymerization of PETEA-TCGG-PAN are investigated in detail. PETEA-TCGG-PAN with a high lithium-ion transference number (0.77) exhibits an electrochemical decomposition voltage of 5.15 V. Noticeably, the NCM811|PETEA-TCGG-PAN|Li battery can cycle at 2C for 120 cycles with a capacity retention rate of 89%. Even at 6C, the discharge specific capacity is able to reach 101.47 mAh g-1. The combination of LiF and Li2CO3 at the CEI interface is the reason for the improved rate performance. Moreover, when commercialized LFP is used as the cathode, the battery can also cycle stably for 150 cycles at 0.5C. PETEA and PAN can together foster the transportation of Li+ with the construction of a fast ion transport channel, making a contribution to stable charge-discharge of the above batteries. This study provides an innovative design philosophy for designing in situ GPEs in high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
With the development of consumer electronic devices and electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are vital components for high energy storage with great impact on our modern life. However, LIBs still cannot meet all the essential demands of rapidly growing new industries. In pursuance of higher energy requirement, metal batteries (MBs) are the next-generation high-energy-density devices. Li/Na metals are considered as an ideal anode for high-energy batteries due to extremely high theoretical specific capacity (3860 and 1165 mAh g-1 for Li and Na, respectively) and low electrochemical potential (-3.04 V for Li and -2.71 V for Na vs. standard hydrogen electrode). Unfortunately, uncontrolled dendrite growth, high reactivity, and infinite volume change induce severe safety concerns and poor cycle efficiency during their application. Consequently, MBs are far from commercialization stage. This Review represents a comprehensive overview of failure mechanism of lithium/sodium metal anode and its progress for rechargeable batteries through (i) electrolyte optimization, (ii) artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer formation, and (iii) nanoengineering at materials level in current collector, anode, and host. The challenges in current MBs research and potential applications of lithium/sodium metal anodes are also outlined and summarized.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) possess improved thermal and mechanical stability as safe energy storage devices. However, their low ion mobilities and poor electrochemical stabilities still hinder the wide industrial application of SPEs. Herein, we introduce an SPE design that provides an enormous number of electrochemically stable pathways and space for lithium-ion transport, blending polymer (polydopamine) hollow nanospheres with an inactive inorganic template into a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) based SPE. Hollow silica acts as a template for polydopamine processing a large contact area with the polymer electrolyte, and the interface between the polymer electrolyte and hollow composite fillers provides amounts of ion transport channels. In addition, theoretical calculations reveal a strong adsorption between polydopamine and TFSI-, which suppresses the TFSI- motion and meanwhile facilitates the selective Li+ transport. The hollow polydopamine can serve as a versatile platform for anion trapping and has large compatible and stable depression for a well-defined ion transfer interface layer, forming a three-in-one nanocomposite for the enhancement of ionic conductivity with no sacrifice of the mechanical properties. Experimental data confirmed the high mobility of ions within the composite electrolyte with an ionic conductivity of 0.189 mS cm-1 in comparison to the SPE without additives (0.105 mS cm-1) at 60 °C. The mobility of the Li+ increases after adding the polymer-coated inorganic additives, associated with a noticeable enlargement of the electrochemical window. Furthermore, an all-solid-state Li/LiFePO4 battery with a hollow polydopamine nanoparticle-polymer composite electrolyte shows long life, high reversible capacity (134.9 mAh g-1), and high capacity retention (97.2%) after 205 cycles at 0.2 C.

Abstract
All solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) are poised to have higher energy density and better safety than current liquid-based Li-ion batteries, but a central requirement is effective ionic conduction pathways throughout the entire cell. Here we develop a catholyte based on an emerging class of porous materials, porous organic cages (POCs). A key feature of these Li+ conducting POCs is their solution-processibility. They can be dissolved in a cathode slurry, which allows the fabrication of solid-state cathodes using the conventional slurry coating method. These Li+ conducting cages recrystallize and grow on the surface of the cathode particles during the coating process and are therefore dispersed uniformly in the slurry-coated cathodes to form a highly effective ion-conducting network. This catholyte is shown to be compatible with cathode active materials such as LiFePO4, LiCoO2 and LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2, and results in SSLBs with decent electrochemical performance at room temperature. While solid-state batteries offer higher energy densities than liquid-based batteries, such devices require effective ion conduction pathways. Here, authors prepare porous organic cages as solution-processable catholytes that are enable excellent performances from various cathode active materials.

Abstract
All-solid-state sodium batteries with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based electrolytes have shown great promise for large-scale energy storage applications. However, the reported PEO-based electrolytes still suffer from a low Na+ transference number and poor ionic conductivity, which mainly result from the simultaneous migration of Na+ and anions, the high crystallinity of PEO, and the low concentration of free Na+. Here, we report a high-performance PEO-based all-solid-state electrolyte for sodium batteries by introducing Na3SbS4 to interact with the TFSI− anion in the salt and decrease the crystallinity of PEO. The optimal PEO/NaTFSI/Na3SbS4 electrolyte exhibits a remarkably enhanced Na+ transference number (0.49) and a high ionic conductivity of 1.33 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 45 °C. Moreover, we found that the electrolyte can largely alleviate Na+ depletion near the electrode surface in symmetric cells and, thus, contributes to stable and dendrite-free Na plating/stripping for 500 h. Furthermore, all-solid-state Na batteries with a 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride cathode exhibit a high capacity retention of 84% after 200 cycles and superior rate performance (up to 10C). Our work develops an effective way to realize a high-performance all-solid-state electrolyte for sodium batteries. A high-performance all-solid-state PEO/NaTFSI/Na3SbS4 electrolyte for sodium batteries is realized owing to the electrostatic interaction between TFSI− in the salt and Na3SbS4, which immobilizes TFSI− anions and promotes the dissociation of NaTFSI.![]()

Abstract
All-solid-state sodium batteries (ASSSBs) are attractive alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for grid-scale energy storage due to their high safety and ubiquitous distribution of Na sources. A critical component for ASSSB is sodium-ion conducting solid-state electrolyte (SSE). Here, we report a high-performance sodium-ion SSE with the recently developed bulk interfacial superionic conductor (BISC) concept. The ionic conductivity and areal conductance of the Na+ BISC at 25 °C reaches 6.5 × 10-4 S cm-1 and 260 mS cm-2, respectively. Using NaxCo0.7Mn0.3O2 (x ≈ 1.0, NaCMO) as the cathode active material, all-solid-state Na||NaCMO batteries exhibiting small overpotential and ∼180 cycle life are demonstrated under room temperature. This approach may also be used to prepare other metal ion, such as Mg2+, Al3+, and K+, based all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) silicate materials have become one of the promising candidates for constructing composite polymer electrolytes due to their advantages of low cost, high stability, good mechanical property, high ionic conductivity and potential to inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites. However, the application of 2D silicate materials in composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) is still at the infancy stage and facing a lot of challenges. In this minireview, we summarize the structures and properties of 2D silicate materials that have been applied in CPEs, the processing methods of composite electrolytes based on 2D silicates, and the recent process of 2D silicate materials in CPEs. We hope this review could present a general overview of the 2D silicates for CPEs and promote the further study for potential applications.

Abstract
Thanks to their high energy density, lithium/sodium metal batteries (LMBs/SMBs) are considered to be the most promising next-generation energy storage system. However, the instability of the electrode/electrolyte interface and dendrite growth seriously hinders commercial application of LMBs/SMBs. In addition, traditional liquid electrolytes are inflammable and explosive. As a key part of the battery, the electrolyte plays an important role in solving the abovementioned problems. Although solid electrolytes can alleviate dendrite growth and liquid electrolyte leakage, their low ionic conductivity and poor interfacial contact are not conducive to improvement of overall LMBs/SMB performances. Therefore, it is necessary to find a balance between liquid and solid electrolytes. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are one means for achieving high-performance LMBs/SMBs because they combine the advantages of liquid and solid electrolytes. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) benefit from high specific surface areas, ordered internal porous structures, organic-inorganic hybrid properties, and show great potential in modified electrolytes. Here, Cu-based MOF-supported poly(ethylene oxide) composite gel polymer electrolytes (CGPEs) were prepared by ultraviolet curing. This CGPE exhibited high ionic conductivity, a wide electrochemical window, and a high ion transference number. In addition, it also exhibited excellent cycle stability in symmetric batteries and LMBs/SMBs. This study showed that CGPE had great practical application potential in the next-generation LMBs/SMBs.

Abstract
Owing to the low cost of sodium/potassium resources and similar electrochemical properties of Na+ /K+ to Li+ , sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are regarded as promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale energy storage field. However, traditional organic liquid electrolytes bestow SIBs/KIBs with serious safety concerns. In contrast, quasi-/solid-phase electrolytes including polymer electrolytes (PEs) and inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) show great superiority of high safety. However, the poor processibility and relatively low ionic conductivity of Na+ and K+ ions limit the further practical applications of ISEs. PEs combine some merits of both liquid-phase electrolytes and ISEs, and present great potentials in next-generation energy storage systems. Considerable efforts have been devoted to improving their overall properties. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of an in-depth and comprehensive review to get insights into mechanisms and corresponding design strategies of PEs. Herein, the advantages of different electrolytes, particularly PEs are first minutely reviewed, and the mechanism of PEs for Na+ /K+ ion transfer is summarized. Then, representative researches and recent progresses of SIBs/KIBs based on PEs are presented. Finally, some suggestions and perspectives are put forward to provide some possible directions for the follow-up researches.

Abstract
The growing demand for safer energy storage devices leads to wide research on solid-state lithium-ion batteries. However, as an important component in the solid-state battery, the solid-state electrolyte often encounters problems, especially the low conductivity at room temperature, inhibiting the development of solid-state batteries. Here, improved electrochemical performances of lithium-ion batteries are obtained by designing a composite gel polymer electrolyte with a sponge-like structure. The porous composite gel polymer electrolyte (PCGPE) is developed by a facile phase inversion process of poly(vinylidiene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) and Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO). The solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance test proves the continuous porous structure constructs fast Li-ion transport pathways on internal interfaces. As a result, the ionic conductivity of PCGPE is up to 5.45 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature. Moreover, an initial capacity of 142.2 mAh g-1 and 82.6% capacity retention at 1 C after 350 cycles are successfully achieved in flexible LiFPO4//PCGPE//Li batteries.

Unlocking solid-state conversion batteries reinforced by hierarchical microsphere stacked polymer electrolyte. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2021; 66:694-707. [PMID: 36654445 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2020.11.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2020] [Revised: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/18/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Pursuing all-solid-state lithium metal batteries with dual upgrading of safety and energy density is of great significance. However, searching compatible solid electrolyte and reversible conversion cathode is still a big challenge. The phase transformation at cathode and Li deformation at anode would usually deactivate the electrode-electrolyte interfaces. Herein, we propose an all-solid-state Li-FeF3 conversion battery reinforced by hierarchical microsphere stacked polymer electrolyte for the first time. This g-C3N4 stuffed polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolyte is lightweight due to the absence of metal element doping, and it enables the spatial confinement and dissolution suppression of conversion products at soft cathode-polymer interface, as well as Li dendrite inhibition at filler-reinforced anode-polymer interface. Two-dimensional (2D)-nanosheet-built porous g-C3N4 as three-dimensional (3D) textured filler can strongly cross-link with PEO matrix and LiTFSI (TFSI: bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide) anion, leading to a more conductive and salt-dissociated interface and therefore improved conductivity (2.5 × 10-4 S/cm at 60 °C) and Li+ transference number (0.69). The compact stacking of highly regular robust microspheres in polymer electrolyte enables a successful stabilization and smoothening of Li metal with ultra-long plating/striping cycling for at least 10,000 h. The corresponding Li/LiFePO4 solid cells can endure an extremely high rate of 12 C. All-solid-state Li/FeF3 cells show highly stabilized capacity as high as 300 mAh/g even after 200 cycles and of ~200 mAh/g at extremely high rate of 5 C, as well as ultra-long cycling for at least 1200 cycles at 1 C. High pseudocapacitance contribution (>55%) and diffusion coefficient (as high as 10-12 cm2/s) are responsible for this high-rate fluoride conversion. This result provides a promising solution to conversion-type Li metal batteries of high energy and safety beyond Li-S batteries, which are difficult to realize true "all-solid-state" due to the indispensable step of polysulfide solid-liquid conversion.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs), as a new type of carbon-based nanomaterial, have attracted broad research interest for years, because of their diverse physicochemical properties and favorable attributes like good biocompatibility, unique optical properties, low cost, ecofriendliness, abundant functional groups (e.g., amino, hydroxyl, carboxyl), high stability, and electron mobility. In this Outlook, we comprehensively summarize the classification of CDs based on the analysis of their formation mechanism, micro-/nanostructure and property features, and describe their synthetic methods and optical properties including strong absorption, photoluminescence, and phosphorescence. Furthermore, the recent significant advances in diverse applications, including optical (sensor, anticounterfeiting), energy (light-emitting diodes, catalysis, photovoltaics, supercapacitors), and promising biomedicine, are systematically highlighted. Finally, we envisage the key issues to be challenged, future research directions, and perspectives to show a full picture of CDs-based materials.

Abstract
Hybrid polymer electrolytes with excellent performance at high temperatures are very promising for developing solid-state lithium batteries for high-temperature applications. Herein, we use a self-supporting hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanowire membrane as a filler to improve the performance of a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid-state electrolyte. The HAP membrane could comprehensively improve the properties of the hybrid polymer electrolyte, including the higher room-temperature ionic conductivity of 1.05 × 10-5 S cm-1, broad electrochemical windows of up to 5.9 V at 60 °C and 4.9 V at 160 °C, and a high lithium-ion migration of 0.69. In addition, the LiFePO4//Li full battery with a solid electrolyte possesses good rate capability, cycling, and Coulomb efficiency at extreme high temperatures, that is, after 300 continuous charge and discharge cycles at 4 C rate, the discharge capacity retention rate is 77% and the Coulomb efficiency is 99%. The use of the flexible self-supporting HAP nanowire membrane to improve the PEO-based solid composite electrolyte provides new strategies and opportunities for developing rechargeable lithium batteries in extreme high-temperature applications.

Abstract
Here, a strategy for the preparation of adjustable imidazolium-type ionic liquid (IL)-based carbon quantum dots (CQDs) was reported. The effect of chemical structure, including carbon chain length of the N-substitution and the type of anion, on the amphiphilicity of CQDs was systematically investigated. It was found that the hydrophobicity of CQDs can be increased with the increase of carbon chain length for substitution at the N3 position. Moreover, the amphiphilicity of CQDs was also switched by changing the hydrophilic anions to hydrophobic anions. Due to adjustable amphiphilicity, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic CQDs were used for the preparation of fluorescent hydrogels and organogels, respectively. The fluorescent CQD-doped gels showed light- and force-dual stimuli responsiveness, which provides more secure information encryption than traditional single encryption inks.

Abstract
The development of materials that can help overcome the current limitations in energy storage and consumption is a pressing need. Recently, we developed non-Newtonian nanofluids based on non-toxic, carbon nanoparticles (NPs), carbon dots (Cdots) functionalized with ionic liquids. Here, we wanted to prove that these new nanofluids are, not only interesting as possible electrolytes, but also as new organic/inorganic hybrid separators. As such, we developed an entrapment method using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Indeed, the highly conductive Cdots were successfully retained inside the membrane even upon the application of several wetting/drying cycles. Moreover, the morphological characteristics did not change upon wetting/drying cycles and remained constant for more than four months. These nanofluids could be an interesting approach to tackle some of the current problems in the fields of solid-state batteries, and energy storage, among others.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as a new class of emerging materials have gradually drawn researchers' concern in recent years. In this work, the graphitic CQDs are prepared through a scalable approach, achieving a high yield with more than 50%. The obtained CQDs are further used as structure-directing and conductive agents to synthesize novel N,S-CQDs/NiCo2S4 composite cathode materials, manifesting the enhanced electrochemical properties resulted from the synergistic effect of highly conductive N,S-codoped CQDs offering fast electronic transport and unique micro-/nanostructured NiCo2S4 microspheres with Faradaic redox characteristic contributing large capacity. Moreover, the nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO)/Fe2O3 composite anode materials exhibit ultrahigh specific capacity as well as significantly improved rate property and cycle performance originating from the high-capacity prism-like Fe2O3 hexahedrons tightly wrapped by highly conductive N-rGO. A novel alkaline aqueous battery assembled by these materials displays a specific energy (50.2 Wh kg-1), ultrahigh specific power (9.7 kW kg-1) and excellent cycling performance with 91.5% of capacity retention at 3 A g-1 for 5000 cycles. The present research offers a valuable guidance for the exploitation of advanced energy storage devices by the rational design and selection of battery/capacitive composite materials.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes can be used to construct solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) using lithium metals as the anode. However, the lifespan and safety problems of SSLBs caused by lithium dendrite growth have hindered their practical application. Here, we have designed and prepared a rigid-flexible asymmetric solid electrolyte (ASE) that is used in building SSLBs. The ASE can inhibit efficiently the growth of lithium dendrites and lead to a long cycle life of SSLBs due to the hierarchical structure of a combination of "polymer-in-ceramic" (i.e., rigid ceramic layer of Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12) and "LiBOB-in-polymer" (i.e., soft polymer-layer of polyethylene oxide and LiBOB components). The results demonstrated that a symmetrical battery with ASE (Li|ASE|Li) can be steadily cycled for more than 2000 h and yielded a flat plating/stripping voltage profile under a current density of 0.1 mA cm-2. As a consequence, the SSLB of LiFePO4|ASE|Li delivered a specific capacity of 155.1 mA h g-1 with a capacity retention rate up to 90.2% after 200 cycles with the Coulombic efficiency over 99.6% per cycle. This asymmetric structure combines the advantages of ceramics and polymers, providing an ingenious solution for building rigid and flexible solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Despite the various synthesis methods to obtain carbon dots (CDs), the bottom-up methods are still the most widely administrated route to afford large-scale and low-cost synthesis. However, as CDs are developed with increasing reports involved in producing many CDs, the structure and property features have changed enormously compared with the first generation of CDs, raising classification concerns. To this end, a new classification of CDs, named carbonized polymer dots (CPDs), is summarized according to the analysis of structure and property features. Here, CPDs are revealed as an emerging class of CDs with distinctive polymer/carbon hybrid structures and properties. Furthermore, deep insights into the effects of synthesis on the structure/property features of CDs are provided. Herein, the synthesis methods of CDs are also summarized in detail, and the effects of synthesis conditions of the bottom-up methods in terms of the structures and properties of CPDs are discussed and analyzed comprehensively. Insights into formation process and nucleation mechanism of CPDs are also offered. Finally, a perspective of the future development of CDs is proposed with critical insights into facilitating their potential in various application fields.

[PMID: 31775348 PMCID: PMC6926585 DOI: 10.3390/ma12233892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 109] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2019] [Revised: 11/12/2019] [Accepted: 11/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Most of the current commercialized lithium batteries employ liquid electrolytes, despite their vulnerability to battery fire hazards, because they avoid the formation of dendrites on the anode side, which is commonly encountered in solid-state batteries. In a review two years ago, we focused on the challenges and issues facing lithium metal for solid-state rechargeable batteries, pointed to the progress made in addressing this drawback, and concluded that a situation could be envisioned where solid-state batteries would again win over liquid batteries for different applications in the near future. However, an additional drawback of solid-state batteries is the lower ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. Therefore, extensive research efforts have been invested in the last few years to overcome this problem, the reward of which has been significant progress. It is the purpose of this review to report these recent works and the state of the art on solid electrolytes. In addition to solid electrolytes stricto sensu, there are other electrolytes that are mainly solids, but with some added liquid. In some cases, the amount of liquid added is only on the microliter scale; the addition of liquid is aimed at only improving the contact between a solid-state electrolyte and an electrode, for instance. In some other cases, the amount of liquid is larger, as in the case of gel polymers. It is also an acceptable solution if the amount of liquid is small enough to maintain the safety of the cell; such cases are also considered in this review. Different chemistries are examined, including not only Li-air, Li-O2, and Li-S, but also sodium-ion batteries, which are also subject to intensive research. The challenges toward commercialization are also considered.
