Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202409435. [PMID: 38945832 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202409435] [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: 05/19/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
In situ analysis of Li plating/stripping processes and evolution of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) are critical for optimizing all-solid-state Li metal batteries (ASSLMB). However, the buried solid-solid interfaces present a challenge for detection which preclude the employment of multiple analysis techniques. Herein, by employing complementary in situ characterizations, morphological/chemical evolution, Li plating/stripping dynamics and SEI dynamics were directly detected. As a mixed ionic-electronic conducting interface, Li|Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS) performed distinct interfacial morphological/chemical evolution and dynamics from ionic-conducting/electronic-isolating interface like Li|Li3PS4 (LPS), which were revealed by combination of in situ atomic force microscopy and in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Though Li plating speed in LGPS was higher than LPS, speed of SSE decomposition was similar and ~85 % interfacial SSE turned into SEI during plating and remained unchanged in stripping. To leverage strengths of different SSEs, an LPS-LGPS-LPS sandwich electrolyte was developed, demonstrating enhanced ionic conductivity and improved interfacial stability with less SSE decomposition (25 %). Using in situ Kelvin probe force microscopy, Li-ion behavior at interface between different SSEs was effectively visualized, uncovering distribution of Li ions at LGPS|LPS interface under different potentials.

Abstract
Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs), which combine the advantages of solid polymer electrolytes and inorganic solid electrolytes, are considered to be promising electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. However, the current CSEs suffer from defects such as poor inorganic/organic interface compatibility, lithium dendrite growth, and easy damage of electrolyte membrane, which hinder the practical application of CSEs. Herein, a CSE (PBHL@LLZTO@DDB) with polyurethane (PBHL) as the polymer matrix and Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) modified by silane coupling agent (DDB) as inorganic fillers (LLZTO@DDB) has been prepared. Disulfide bond exchange reactions between PBHL and LLZTO@DDB enable PBHL@LLZTO@DDB to form a dynamic three-dimensional (3D) inorganic/organic hybrid network, which promotes the uniform dispersion of LLZTO in PBHL@LLZTO@DDB, improves the Li+ conductivity (1.24 ± 0.08 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 30 ℃), and broadens the electrochemical stability window (5.16 V vs. Li+/Li). Moreover, a combination of hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds endows PBHL@LLZTO@DDB with excellent self-healing properties. As such, both all-solid-state symmetric and full cells exhibit excellent cycle performance at ambient temperature. More importantly, the healed PBHL@LLZTO@DDB can almost completely restore its original electrochemical properties, indicating its application potential in flexible electronic products.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have revolutionized the energy storage landscape and are the preferred power source for various applications, ranging from portable electronics to electric vehicles. The constant drive and growth in battery research and development aim to enhance their performance, energy density, and safety. Advanced lithium batteries (LIBs) are considered to be the most promising electrochemical storage devices, which can provide high specific energy, volumetric energy density, and power density. However, the trade-off between ionic conductivity and cycling stability is still a major contradiction for SPEs. In this work, a novel hydroxylated PAF-1 was designed and synthesized through post-modification, and the lithium-rich single-ion porous aromatic framework PAF-1-OLi was thereafter prepared by lithiation, achieved with a specific surface area to be 155 m2 g-1 and a lithium content of 2.01 mmol g-1. PAF-1-OLi, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfony)limine (LiTFSI), and poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) were compounded to obtain PAF-1-OLi/PVDF by solution casting, which had good mechanical, thermodynamic, and electrochemical properties. The ion conductivity of PAF-1-OLi/PVDF infiltrated with plasticizer was 2.93 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C. The tLi+ was 0.77, which was much higher than that of the traditional dual-ion polymer electrolytes. The electrochemical window of PAF-1-OLi/PVDF can reach 4.9 V. The Li//PAF-1-OLi/PVDF//LiFePO4 battery initial discharge specific capacity was 147 mAh g-1 and reached 134.9 mAh g-1 after 600 cycles with a capacity retention rate of 91.2%, demonstrating its good cycling stability. The anionic part of lithium salt was fixed on the framework of PAF-1 to increase the Li+ transfer number of PAF-1-OLi/PVDF. The lithium-rich PAF-1-OLi and the LiTFSI provided abundant Li+ sources to transfer, while PAF-1-OLi helped to form a continuous Li+ transport channel, effectively promoting the migration of Li+ in the PAF-1-OLi/PVDF and effectively improving the Li+ conductivity. This study afforded a novel polymer electrolyte based on lithium-rich PAF-1-OLi, which has excellent electrochemical performance, providing a new choice for the polymer electrolyte of lithium batteries.

Magnetic field-assisted vertically aligned NiFe 2O 4 nanosheets in composite solid polymer electrolytes for advanced all solid-state lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Two-dimensional materials (2D Ms) as fillers have been applied in polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolyte to enhance the low ionic conductivity and poor interface compatibility. However, the randomly dispersed fillers in PEO matrix result in anisotropy of Li+ transportation and insufficent ionic conductivity. Herein, NiFe2O4 (NFO) nanosheets are firstly introduced in polymer matrix to form vertically aligned NFO-PEO (ANFO-PEO) composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) through magnetic field-assisted alignment strategy. The vertically aligned NFO/PEO interface in CSEs can construct oriented Li+ transport channels and maximize the utilization of high in-plane conductivity. Meanwhile, the NFO nanosheets with abundant oxygen vacancies could effectively anchor TFSI- to promote the dissociation of Li salts. Furthermore, the optimized Li+ transport flux in CSEs enables homogeneous Li deposition and effectively mitigates the growth of dendrites. Owing to the synergistic effects, the ANFO-PEO CSEs exhibit high ionic conductivity (9.16 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 60 °C) and stable potential window up to 5.0 V vs Li/Li+. Therefore, LiFePO4 in the full cell and pouch cell with ANFO-PEO CSEs could deliver excellent cycling performance (92.78 % capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 0.5C; 96.88 % capacity retention after 105 cycles at 0.1C).

Abstract
Typically, gel-like materials consist of a polymer network structure in a solvent. In this work, a gel-like material is developed in a deep eutectic solvent (DES) without the presence of a polymer network, achieved simply by adding microgels. The DES is composed of choline chloride and citric acid and remains stably in a supercooled state at room temperature, exhibiting Newtonian fluid behavior with high viscosity. When the microgel (Carbopol) concentration exceeds 2 wt %, the DES undergoes a transition from a liquid to a soft gel state, characterized as a granular eutectogel. The soft gel characteristics of eutectogels exhibit a yield stress, and their storage moduli exceed the loss moduli. The yield stress and storage moduli are observed to increase with increasing microgel concentration. In contrast, the ion conductivity decreases with increasing microgel concentration but eventually levels off. Because the eutectogel can dissolve completely in excess water, it is a physical gel-like material, attributed to the densely packed structure of microgels in the supercooled DES. Due to the absence of networks, the granular eutectogel has the capability to self-heal simply by being pushed together after being cut into two pieces.

Abstract
Flexible solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) are highly desirable for future wearable electronics because of their high energy density and safety. However, flexible SSLMBs face serious challenges not only in regulating the Li plating/stripping behaviors but also in enabling the mechanical flexibility of the cell. Both challenges are largely associated with the interfacial gaps between the solid electrolytes and the electrodes. Here, a UV-permeable and flexible composited Li metal anode (UVp-Li), which possesses a unique light-penetrating interwoven structure similar to textiles is reported. UVp-Li allows one-step bonding of the cathode, anode, and solid electrolyte via an in situ UV-initiated polymerization method to achieve the gapless SSLMBs. The gapless structure not only effectively stabilizes the plating/stripping of Li metal during cycling, but also ensures the integrity of the cell during mechanical bending. UVp-Li symmetric cell presents a stable cycling over 1000 h at 0.5 mA cm-2. LiFePO4||UVp-Li full cells (areal capacity ranging from 0.5 to 3 mAh cm-2) show outstanding capacity retention of over 84% after 500 charge/discharge cycles at room temperature. Large pouch cells using high-loading cathodes maintain stable electrochemical performance during 1000 times of dynamic bending.

Abstract
In the current challenging energy storage and conversion landscape, solid-state lithium metal batteries with high energy conversion efficiency, high energy density, and high safety stand out. Due to the limitations of material properties, it is difficult to achieve the ideal requirements of solid electrolytes with a single-phase electrolyte. A composite solid electrolyte is composed of two or more different materials. Composite electrolytes can simultaneously offer the advantages of multiple materials. Through different composite methods, the merits of various materials can be incorporated into the most essential part of the battery in a specific form. Currently, more and more researchers are focusing on composite methods for combining components in composite electrolytes. The ion transport capacity, interface stability, machinability, and safety of electrolytes can be significantly improved by selecting appropriate composite methods. This review summarizes the composite methods used for the components of composite electrolytes, such as filler blending, embedded framework, and multilayer bonding. It also discusses the future development trends of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs).

Abstract
Over the past two decades, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have captured significant attention as an emergent class of solvents that have unique properties and applications in differing fields of chemistry. One area where DES systems find utility is the design of polymeric gels, often referred to as "eutectogels," which can be prepared either using a DES to replace a traditional solvent, or where monomers form part of the DES themselves. Due to the extensive network of intramolecular interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding) and ionic species that exist in DES systems, polymeric eutectogels often possess appealing material properties-high adhesive strength, tuneable viscosity, rapid polymerization kinetics, good conductivity, as well as high strength and flexibility. In addition, non-covalent crosslinking approaches are possible due to the inherent interactions that exist in these materials. This review considers several key applications of polymeric eutectogels, including organic electronics, wearable sensor technologies, 3D printing resins, adhesives, and a range of various biomedical applications. The design, synthesis, and properties of these eutectogels are discussed, in addition to the advantages of this synthetic approach in comparison to traditional gel design. Perspectives on the future directions of this field are also highlighted.

Abstract
The interfacial instability of high-nickel layered oxides severely plagues practical application of high-energy quasi-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Herein, a uniform and highly oxidation-resistant polymer layer within inner Helmholtz plane is engineered by in situ polymerizing 1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium (VEIM) cations preferentially adsorbed on LiNi0.83Co0.11Mn0.06O2 (NCM83) surface, inducing the formation of anion-derived cathode electrolyte interphase with fast interfacial kinetics. Meanwhile, the copolymerization of [VEIM][BF4] and vinyl ethylene carbonate (VEC) endows P(VEC-IL) copolymer with the positively-charged imidazolium moieties, providing positive electric fields to facilitate Li+ transport and desolvation process. Consequently, the Li||NCM83 cells with a cut-off voltage up to 4.5 V exhibit excellent reversible capacity of 130 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 25 °C and considerable discharge capacity of 134 mAh g-1 without capacity decay after 100 cycles at -20 °C. This work provides deep understanding on tailoring electric double layer by cation specific adsorption for high-voltage quasi-solid-state LMBs.

Diagnostic Protocols for Evaluating the Degradation Mechanisms in Gel-Polymer Lithium Batteries. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2404063.

Abstract
Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) present a promising alternative to standard liquid electrolytes (LE) for Lithium-ion Batteries (LIBs) and Lithium Metal Batteries bridging the advantages of both liquid and solid polymer electrolytes. However, their cycle life still lags behind that of standard LIBs, and their degradation mechanisms remain poorly understood. A significant challenge is the need for specific diagnostic protocols to systematically study the degradation mechanisms of GPE-based cells. Challenges include the separation of cell components and effective washing, as well as the study of the solid electrolyte interfaces, all complicated by the semi-solid nature of GPEs. This paper provides a brief review of existing literature and proposes a comprehensive set of diagnostic tools for dismantling and evaluating the degradation of GPE-based LIBs. Finally, these methods and recommendations are applied to LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO)-graphite cells, revealing electrolyte oxidation as a major source of cell degradation.

Abstract
The lignin derived ultrathin all-solid composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) with a thickness of only 13.2 µm, which possess 3D nanofiber ionic bridge networks composed of single-ion lignin-based lithium salt (L-Li) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) as the framework, and poly(ethylene oxide)/lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PEO/LiTFSI) as the filler, is obtained through electrospinning/spraying and hot-pressing. t. The Li-symmetric cell assembled with the CPE can stably cycle more than 6000 h under 0.5 mA cm-2 with little Li dendrites growth. Moreover, the assembled Li||CPE||LiFePO4 cells can stably cycle over 700 cycles at 0.2 C with a super high initial discharge capacity of 158.5 mAh g-1 at room temperature, and a favorable capacity of 123 mAh g-1 at -20 °C for 250 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance is mainly attributed to the reason that the nanofiber ionic bridge network can afford uniformly dispersed single-ion L-Li through electrospinning, which synergizes with the LiTFSI well dispersed in PEO to form abundant and efficient 3D Li+ transfer channels. The ultrathin CPE induces uniform deposition of Li+ at the interface, and effectively inhibit the lithium dendrites. This work provides a promising strategy to achieve ultrathin biobased electrolytes for solid-state lithium ion batteries.

Abstract
Touch panels are deemed as a critical platform for the future of human--computer interaction. Recently, flexible touch panels have attracted much attention due to their superior adhesivity and integratability to the human body. However, hydrogel- or organogel-based devices suffer from instability due to liquid evaporation or low-conductivity substrates. It demands an alternative functional touch panel featuring temperature tolerance, high conductivity, and stretchability. Here, we introduce an eutectogel by immobilizing a novel deep eutectic solvent (DES) within 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) covalently cross-linked polymer scaffolds. In this DES (ethylene carbonate(EC)-LiTFSI), the C═O group of EC is unique as an electron donor exhibiting strong coordination interactions with Li+, promoting the dissociation of Li+ from LiTFSI to achieve excellent conductivity. Benefiting from their traits, eutectogel presents high conductivity, transmittance, antifreezing, and mechanical strength. In addition, using the surface-capacitive sensing mechanism, the eutectogel can be designed as a 1D strip and 2D rectangular touch panel which can achieve high-resolution touching tracks, even in a low-temperature environment and pressure-then-recovered state. This eutectogel strategy is envisioned to facilitate the development of next-generation intelligent devices, especially in extreme stretching and low-temperature application scenarios.

Abstract
Surface modification of Cu current collectors (CCs) is proven to be an effective method for protecting lithium metal anodes. However, few studies have focused on the quality and efficiency of modification layers. Herein, a novel home-made filtered cathode vacuum arc (FCVA) co-deposition system with high modification efficiency, good repeatability and environmental friendliness is proposed to realize the wide range regulation of film composition, structure and performance. Through this system, ZnMgTiAl quaternary alloy films, which have good affinity with Li are successfully constructed on Cu CCs, and the fully enhanced electrochemical performances are achieved. Symmetrical cells constructed with modified CCs maintained a fairly low voltage hysteresis of only 13 mV after 2100 h at a current density of 1 mA cm-2. In addition, the capacity retention rate is as high as 75.0% after 100 cycles in the full cells. The influence of alloy films on the dynamic evolution process of constructing stable artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer is revealed by in situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy. This work provides a promising route for designing various feasible modification films for LMBs, and it displays better industrial application prospects than the traditional chemical methods owing to the remarkable controllability and scale-up capacity.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries, typically represented by lithium-ion batteries, have taken a huge leap in energy density over the last two decades. However, they still face material/chemical challenges in ensuring safety and long service life at temperatures beyond the optimum range, primarily due to the chemical/electrochemical instabilities of conventional liquid electrolytes against aggressive electrode reactions and temperature variation. In this regard, a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) with its liquid components immobilized and stabilized by a solid matrix, capable of retaining almost all the advantageous natures of the liquid electrolytes and circumventing the interfacial issues that exist in the all-solid-state electrolytes, is of great significance to realize rechargeable batteries with extended working temperature range. We begin this review with the main challenges faced in the development of GPEs, based on extensive literature research and our practical experience. Then, a significant section is dedicated to the requirements and design principles of GPEs for wide-temperature applications, with special attention paid to the feasibility, cost, and environmental impact. Next, the research progress of GPEs is thoroughly reviewed according to the strategies applied. In the end, we outline some prospects of GPEs related to innovations in material sciences, advanced characterizations, artificial intelligence, and environmental impact analysis, hoping to spark new research activities that ultimately bring us a step closer to realizing wide-temperature rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
High-safety and high-energy-density solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) attract tremendous interest in both academia and industry. Especially, composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) can overcome the limitations of single-component solid-state electrolytes. In this work, a strategy of combining a rigid functional skeleton with a soft polymer electrolyte to prepare reinforced CPEs was adopted. The in situ grown zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) with three-dimensional cellulose fiber skeleton (ZIF-67@CF) and succinonitrile (SN) plasticizer into poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) together form ZIF-67@CF/PEO-SN CPEs. The addition of ZIF-67@CF and SN to PEO synergistically enhanced the physical and electrochemical properties of CPEs. Furthermore, the conduction mechanism of lithium-ion (Li+) in CPEs was studied using density functional theory. It is impressive that the ZIF-67@CF/PEO-SN CPEs at 30 °C exhibit a high ionic conductivity of 1.17 × 10-4 S cm-1, a competitive Li+ transference number of 0.40, a wide electrochemical window of 5.0 V, a notable tensile strength of 18.7 MPa, and superior lithium plating/stripping stability (>550 h at 0.1 mA cm2). Such favorable features endowed LiFePO4/(ZIF-67@CF/PEO-SN)/Li cell at 30 °C with a high discharging capacity (152.5 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C), a long cycling lifespan (>150 cycles with 99% capacity retention), and superior operating safety. This work provides insights and promotes the application of functionalized CPEs for SSLMBs.

Abstract
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) offer substantial promise for next-generation energy storage owing to lithium metal's low reduction potential (-3.045 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode) and its high specific capacity of 3860 mA h g-1. Among various cathode materials in LMBs, LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) is extensively employed because of its notably high specific capacity (over 200 mA h g-1) and comparatively lower cost. However, structural stress, nickel ions migration, and uneven Li+ deposition in NCM811 particles lead to cracking, irreversible decomposition of active substances, and the growth of mossy Li dendrites, causing severe capacity decline and low Coulomb efficiency in LMBs. In this study, we introduce an effective ethoxyl additive, 2,5-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-benzoic acid (2,5BTBA), directly into the carbonate electrolyte. This additive forms a dense and conductive macromolecular protective film on the NCM811 cathode and lithium metal anode during initial cycles, preventing electrode contact with the electrolyte. Consequently, it safeguards the cathode's structural integrity and enables dense lithium deposition. Adding 3 wt% 2,5BTBA, the Li/NCM811 battery retains a high capacity of 150.60 mA h g-1 and 89.41% retention after 700 cycles at 0.5C, maintaining an average Coulomb efficiency of 99.13%. This study presents an efficient and straightforward strategy to enhance the capacity retention of LMBs.

Abstract
The recovery of valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is an environmentally and economically beneficial process. In this study, a method has been developed for recovering LiNi0.33Co0.33Mn0.33O2. Our process operates under mild conditions and with a little oxalic acid as a reducing agent, dissolving lithium, cobalt, manganese, and nickel completely utilizing a DES that is composed of tetrabutylammonium chloride and of monochloroacetic acid. Lithium and nickel were selectively precipitated using oxalic acid. Cobalt and manganese were precipitated as oxalates by adding an oxalic acid aqueous solution. Finally, the DES can be regenerated by evaporating the water. Importantly, valuable metals can be recovered with a 100 % yield through the process of DES recycling. This environmentally friendly and recyclable process is suitable for the recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries industry.

All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are currently one of the best candidates for realizing the yearning high-energy-density batteries with high safety. However, even polyethylene oxide (PEO), the most popular polymeric solid-state electrolyte (SSE) with the largest ionic conductivity in the category so far, has significant challenges due to the safety issues of lithium dendrites, and the insufficient ionic conductivity. Herein, molecular sieve (MS) is integrated into the PEO as an inert filler with the liquid metal (LM) as a functional module, forming an "LM-MS-PEO" composite as both SSE with enhanced ionic conductivity, and protection layer against lithium dendrites. As demonstrated by theoretical and experimental investigations, LM released from MS can be uniformly and efficiently distributed in PEO, which could avoid agglomeration, enable the effective blocking of lithium dendrites, and regulate the mass transport of Li ions, thus achieving even deposition of lithium during charge/discharge. Moreover, MS could reduce the crystallinity of PEO, improve lithium-ion conductivity, and reduce operating temperature. Benefiting from the introduction of the functional MS/LM, the LM-MS-PEO electrolyte exhibits fourfold higher lithium ionic conductivity than the pristine PEO at 40 °C, while the as-assembled all-solid-state LMBs have four to five times longer stable cycle life.

Abstract
Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) with high energy density are becoming increasingly important in global sustainability initiatives. However, uncontrollable dendrite seeds, inscrutable interfacial chemistry, and repetitively formed solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) have severely hindered the advancement of LMBs. Organic molecules have been ingeniously engineered to construct targeted SEI and effectively minimize the above issues. In this review, multiple organic molecules, including polymer, fluorinated molecules, and organosulfur, are comprehensively summarized and insights into how to construct the corresponding elastic, fluorine-rich, and organosulfur-containing SEIs are provided. A variety of meticulously selected cases are analyzed in depth to support the arguments of molecular design in SEI. Specifically, the evolution of organic molecules-derived SEI is discussed and corresponding design principles are proposed, which are beneficial in guiding researchers to understand and architect SEI based on organic molecules. This review provides a design guideline for constructing organic molecule-derived SEI and will inspire more researchers to concentrate on the exploitation of LMBs.

Abstract
To improve the interface stability between Li-rich Mn-based oxide cathodes and electrolytes, it is necessary to develop new polymer electrolytes. Here, we report an entanglement association polymer electrolyte (PVFH-PVCA) based on a poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVFH) matrix and a copolymer stabilizer (PVCA) prepared from acrylonitrile, maleic anhydride, and vinylene carbonate. The entangled structure of the PVFH-PVCA electrolyte imparts excellent mechanical properties and eliminates the stress arising from dendrite growth during cycling and forms a stable interface layer, enabling Li//Li symmetric cells to cycle steadily for more than 4500 h at 8 mA cm-2. The PVCA acts as a stabilizer to promote the formation of an electrochemically robust cathode-electrolyte interphase. It delivers a high specific capacity and excellent cycling stability with 84.7% capacity retention after 400 cycles. Li1.2Mn0.56Ni0.16Co0.08O2/PVFH-PVCA/Li full cell achieved 125 cycles at 1 C (4.8 V cut-off) with a stable discharge capacity of ~2.5 mAh cm-2.

Abstract
Electronic devices with multiple features bring in comfort to the way we live. However, repeated use causes physical as well as chemical degradation reducing their lifetime. The self-healing ability is the most crucial property of natural systems for survival in unexpected situations and variable environments. However, this self-repair property is not possessed by the conventional electronic devices designed today. To expand their lifetime and make them reliable by restoring their mechanical, functional, and electrical properties, self-healing materials are a great go-to option to create robust devices. In this review the intriguing self-healing polymers and fascinating mechanism of self-healable energy harvesting devices such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) and storage devices like supercapacitors and batteries from the aspect of electrodes and electrolytes in the past five years are reviewed. The current challenges, strategies, and perspectives for a smart and sustainable future are also discussed.

Abstract
A series of copolymers have been prepared via thiol-ene polymerization of bioderived α,ω-unsaturated diene monomers with dithiols toward application as solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for Li+-ion conduction. Amorphous polyesters and polyethers with low Tg's (-31 to -11 °C) were first prepared from xylose-based monomers (with varying lengths of fatty acid moiety) and 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol (EDT). Cross-linking by incorporation of a trifunctional monomer also produced a series of SPEs with ionic conductivities up to 2.2 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 60 °C and electrochemical stability up to 5.08 V, a significant improvement over previous xylose-derived materials. Furthermore, a series of copolymers bearing nucleoside moieties were prepared to exploit the complementary base-pairing interaction of nucleobases. Flexible, transparent, and reprocessable SPE films were thus prepared with improved ionic conductivity (up to 1.5 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 60 °C), hydrolytic degradability, and potential self-healing capabilities.

Abstract
As the core component of solid-state batteries, neither current inorganic solid-state electrolytes nor solid polymer electrolytes can simultaneously possess satisfactory ionic conductivity, electrode compatibility and processability. By incorporating efficient Li+ diffusion channels found in inorganic solid-state electrolytes and polar functional groups present in solid polymer electrolytes, it is conceivable to design inorganic-organic hybrid solid-state electrolytes to achieve true fusion and synergy in performance. Herein, we demonstrate that traditional metal coordination compounds can serve as exceptional Li+ ion conductors at room temperature through rational structural design. Specifically, we synthesize copper maleate hydrate nanoflakes via bottom-up self-assembly featuring highly-ordered 1D channels that are interconnected by Cu2+/Cu+ nodes and maleic acid ligands, alongside rich COO- groups and structural water within the channels. Benefiting from the combination of ion-hopping and coupling-dissociation mechanisms, Li+ ions can preferably transport through these channels rapidly. Thus, the Li+-implanted copper maleate hydrate solid-state electrolytes shows remarkable ionic conductivity (1.17 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature), high Li+ transference number (0.77), and a 4.7 V-wide operating window. More impressively, Li+-implanted copper maleate hydrate solid-state electrolytes are demonstrated to have exceptional compatibility with both cathode and Li anode, enabling long-term stability of more than 800 cycles. This work brings new insight on exploring superior room-temperature ionic conductors based on metal coordination compounds.

Abstract
The recently developed advanced electrolytes possess many crucial qualities, including robust stability, Li dendrite-free, and comparable interface compatibility, for the manufacturing of Li metal batteries with a high energy density. In this study, lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide, acrylamide, and succinonitrile were first used to design a polymerizable monomer. Then, it went through in situ thermal polymerization to attain a new solid polymer electrolyte [named poly(PDES)]. The synthesized poly(PDES) electrolyte achieved higher ionic conductivity (∼1.89 × 10-3 S cm-1), oxidation potential (∼5.10 V versus Li+/Li), and a larger lithium-ion transfer number (∼0.63). Moreover, poly(PDES) was nonflammable and could effectively inhibit the formation of Li dendrites. As a result, the assembled batteries using the poly(PDES) electrolyte for both Li||LiFePO4 and Li||LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 exhibited excellent interface compatibility and electrochemical performances. This poly(PDES) electrolyte has promising potential for broad application in lithium-metal batteries with elevated energy density and safety performance in the near future.

Abstract
The demand for higher energy density in energy storage devices drives further research on lithium metal batteries (LMBs) because of the high theoretical capacity and low voltage of lithium metal anode. Polymer electrolytes (PEs) exhibit obvious advantages in combating volatilization and leakage compared with liquid electrolytes, which improves the safety of LMBs. However, it is still difficult to construct PEs with a stable electrolyte-electrode interface for high-performance and long-term life LMBs. Herein, the gel polymer electrolyte (GPE-SL) containing deep eutectic electrolyte (DEE) and branchlike polymer skeleton are designed and prepared by the DEE-induced in situ cationic and radical polymerizations. The DEE provides a smooth Li+ migration pathway to ensure the electrochemical properties, and the multibrominated polymer matrix formed in situ enables a LiBr-rich solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer on lithium metal anode and prolongs the life span of LMBs. Hence, the Li|GPE-SL|LiFePO4 battery displays an excellent cycling stability with 84% capacity retention after 1200 cycles at 1C. This simple deep eutectic electrolyte-induced polymerization method provides a promising direction for high-performance LMBs with improved anode-electrolyte compatibility through the construction of a stable SEI layer in situ.

Abstract
Lithium (Li)-based batteries are gradually evolving from the liquid to the solid state in terms of safety and energy density, where all solid-state Li-metal batteries (ASSLMBs) are considered the most promising candidates. This is demonstrated by the Bluecar electric vehicle produced by the Bolloré Group, which is utilized in car-sharing services in several cities worldwide. Despite impressive progress in the development of ASSLMBs, their avenues for recycling them remain underexplored, and combined with the current explosion of spent Li-ion batteries, they should attract widespread interest from academia and industry. Here, the potential challenges of recycling ASSLMBs as compared to Li-ion batteries are analyzed and the current progress and prospects for recycling ASSLMBs are summarized and analyzed. Drawing on the lessons learned from Li-ion battery recycling, it is important to design sustainable recycling technologies before ASSLMBs gain widespread market adoption. A battery-recycling-oriented design is also highlighted for ASSLMBs to promote the recycling rate and maximize profitability. Finally, future research directions, challenges, and prospects are outlined to provide strategies for achieving sustainable development of ASSLMBs.

Nonflammable Polyfluorides-Anchored Quasi-Solid Electrolytes for Ultra-Safe Anode-Free Lithium Pouch Cells without Thermal Runaway. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2304762.

Abstract
The safe operation of rechargeable batteries is crucial because of numerous instances of fire and explosion mishaps. However, battery chemistry involving metallic lithium (Li) as the anode is prone to thermal runaway in flammable organic electrolytes under abusive conditions. Herein, an in situ encapsulation strategy is proposed to construct nonflammable quasi-solid electrolytes through the radical polymerization of a hexafluorobutyl acrylate (HFBA) monomer and a pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA) crosslinker. The quasi-solid system eliminates the inherent flammability of ether electrolytes with zero self-extinguishing time owing to the gas-phase radical capturing ability of HFBA. Additionally, the graphitized carbon layer generated during the decomposition of PETEA at high temperatures obstructs the heat and oxygen required for combustion. When coupled with Au-modified reduced graphene oxide anodic current collectors and lithium sulfide cathodes, the assembled anode-free Li-metal cell based on the quasi-solid electrolyte exhibits no signs of cell expansion or gas generation during cycling, and thermal runaway is eliminated under multiple mechanical, electrical, and thermal abuse scenarios and even rigorous strikes. This nonflammable quasi-solid configuration with gas- and condensed-phase flame-retardant mechanisms can drive a technological leap in anode-free Li-metal pouch cells and secure the practical applications necessary to power this society in a safe manner.

Abstract
Polyimide is actively applied in various industrial fields because of its strong mechanical properties, owing to the interactions between the polymer chains. Fully aromatic imide structures exhibit high glass-transition temperatures due to the strong interactions between their chains, which hinder chain mobility. Therefore, preparing a material that exhibits self-healing at a low temperature of ≤100 °C and good mechanical properties is challenging. Thus, we prepared imides with four-component semiaromatic structures by adjusting the contents of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride and 4,4'-(4,4'-isopropylidenediphenoxy)bis(phthalic anhydride) to yield four-component self-healable colorless polyimides (f-SH-CPIs) with novel structures, flexibilities, good mechanical properties, and low healing temperatures. The flexibilities and distances between the polymer chains, as the basis of the trade-off relationship between the mechanical properties and healing efficiency, were controlled. These materials may be used as substrates in wearable devices and multilayer insulation that may protect from space dust, cosmic rays, and satellite fragments.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) show particular properties compared to ionic liquids and other traditional organic solvents. Controlled synthesis of chiral materials in DESs is unprecedented due to the complex interplays between DESs and solutes. In this work, all bio-derived chiral DESs were prepared using choline chloride or cyclodextrin as hydrogen bonding acceptors and natural chiral acids as donors, which performed as chiral matrices for the rational synthesis of chiroptical materials by taking advantage of the efficient chirality transfer between the DESs and solutes. In a very selective manner, building units with molecular pockets could facilitate strong binding affinity towards chiral acid components of DESs disregarding the presence of competitive hydrogen bonding acceptors. Chirality transfer from DESs to nanoassemblies leads to chirality amplification in the presence of minimal amounts of entrapped chiral acids, thanks to the spontaneous symmetry breaking of solutes during aggregation. This work utilizes chiral DESs to control supramolecular chirality, and illustrates the structural basis for the fabrication of DES-based chiral materials.

Abstract
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) based polymer electrolytes show promise in expanding the practical applications of lithium (Li) batteries. However, their applications in Li batteries are usually restricted owing to the lack of mechanical strength, poor oxidative stability, and relatively large thickness. Herein, a nanofibrous polyimide (PI) framework enhanced plasticized-PEO solid electrolyte is prepared to realize good mechanical and electrochemical performances. Following the configuration with the PI matrix, this "polymer in polymer" composite electrolyte with a thickness of 17.5 µm exhibits enhanced mechanical strength (13.9 MPa) and outstanding thermal stability. Additionally, it preserves the high ionic conductivity (2.25 × 10-4 S cm-1 , 25 °C). The Li||Li symmetrical battery with the modified electrolyte could achieve a steady Li plating/stripping of more than 500 h, and the critical current density reaches up to 0.6 mA cm-2 at ambient temperature. The LiFePO4 batteries delivery favorable capacity of 132.2 mAh g-1 with capacity retentions of 96.4% and 85.9% after 500 and 1000 cycles at 1 C, respectively. Acceptable cycling performance also could be achieved in LiNi0.5 Co0. 2 Mn0. 3 O2 solid batteries via an inorganic-rich artificial cathode electrolyte interphase.

Abstract
The deployment of lithium metal anode in solid-state batteries with polymer electrolytes has been recognized as a promising approach to achieving high-energy-density technologies. However, the practical application of the polymer electrolytes is currently constrained by various challenges, including low ionic conductivity, inadequate electrochemical window, and poor interface stability. To address these issues, a novel eutectic-based polymer electrolyte consisting of succinonitrile (SN) and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (PEGMEA) is developed. The research results demonstrate that the interactions between SN and PEGMEA promote the dissociation of the lithium difluoro(oxalato) borate (LiDFOB) salt and increase the concentration of free Li+ . The well-designed eutectic-based PAN1.2 -SPE (PEGMEA: SN=1: 1.2 mass ratio) exhibits high ionic conductivity of 1.30 mS cm-1 at 30 °C and superior interface stability with Li anode. The Li/Li symmetric cell based on PAN1.2 -SPE enables long-term plating/stripping at 0.3 and 0.5 mA cm-2 , and the Li/LiFePO4 cell achieves superior long-term cycling stability (capacity retention of 80.3 % after 1500 cycles). Moreover, Li/LiFePO4 and Li/LiNi0.6 Co0.2 Mn0.2 O2 pouch cells employing PAN1.2 -SPE demonstrate excellent cycling and safety characteristics. This study presents a new pathway for designing high-performance polymer electrolytes and promotes the practical application of high-stable lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Constructing green recyclable cellulose-based tapes with high transparency, mechanical robustness, and strong wet adhesion using natural components is highly desirable but challenging. Herein, novel cellulose-based self-adhesive tapes were reported by coating a polymerizable hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (DES) on ethylcellulose followed by photopolymerization. The prepared ethylcellulose-based self-adhesive tape (ECSAT) exhibited an optical transmittance of up to ∼88% and could provide strong adhesion by interfacial intermolecular interactions without obstructing information. Due to the hydrophobic nature of the overall structure, ECSAT does not exhibit significant adhesive strength and mechanical degradation under water, acid, and alkali environments. Notably, ECSAT can be completely dissolved in the resultant DES and furthermore reused as a self-adhesive coating. The recycled ECSAT still maintained good optical transparency, mechanical strength, and wet adhesion. We believe that ECSATs with all-around performances have a wide range of applications in packaging and other engineering fields.

Abstract
Quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs) are gaining huge popularity because of their significantly improved safety performance over nonaqueous liquid electrolytes and superior process adaptability over all-solid-state electrolytes. However, because of the existence of liquid molecules, QSSEs typically have low lithium ion transference numbers and compromised thermal stability. In this work, we present the fabrication of a well-rounded QSSE by introducing hexagonal boron nitride nanoflakes (BNNFs) as an inorganic filler in a poly(vinylene carbonate) matrix. BNNFs, in contrast to most inorganic fillers used as anion trappers, are used to build fast lithium ion transport pathways directly on their two-dimensional surfaces. We confirm the attractive coupling between lithium ions and BNNFs, and we confirm that with the help of BNNFs, lithium ions can migrate with less damping and a lower transport energy barrier. As a result, the designed electrolyte exhibits good ion transportability, promoted fire retardancy, and good compatibility with lithium metal anodes and commercial cathodes.

Abstract
Ionic conductors (ICs) find widespread applications across different fields, such as smart electronic, ionotronic, sensor, biomedical, and energy harvesting/storage devices, and largely determine the function and performance of these devices. In the pursuit of developing ICs required for better performing and sustainable devices, cellulose appears as an attractive and promising building block due to its high abundance, renewability, striking mechanical strength, and other functional features. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary regarding ICs fabricated from cellulose and cellulose-derived materials in terms of fundamental structural features of cellulose, the materials design and fabrication techniques for engineering, main properties and characterization, and diverse applications. Next, the potential of cellulose-based ICs to relieve the increasing concern about electronic waste within the frame of circularity and environmental sustainability and the future directions to be explored for advancing this field are discussed. Overall, we hope this review can provide a comprehensive summary and unique perspectives on the design and application of advanced cellulose-based ICs and thereby encourage the utilization of cellulosic materials toward sustainable devices.

Abstract
As a replacement for highly flammable and volatile organic liquid electrolyte, solid polymer electrolyte shows attractive practical prospect in high-energy lithium metal batteries. However, unsatisfied interface performance and ionic conductivities are two critical challenges. A common strategy involves introducing organic solvents or plasticizers, but this violates the original intention of security design. Here, an electrolyte concept called liquid polymer electrolyte without any small molecular solvents is proposed for safe and high-performance batteries, based on the design of a room-temperature liquid-state brush-like polymer as the sole solvent of lithium salts. This liquid polymer electrolyte is non-flammable and exhibits high ionic conductivity (1.09 [Formula: see text] 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C), significant lithium dendrite suppression, and stable long-term cycling over a wide operating temperature range ( ≥ 1000 cycles at 60 °C and 90 °C). Moreover, the pouch cell can resist thermal abuse, vacuum environment, and mechanical abuse. This electrolyte and design strategy are expected to provide enlightening ideas for the development of safe and high-performance polymer electrolytes.

Abstract
Ionic conductive eutectogels have great application prospects in wearable strain sensors owing to their temperature tolerance, simplicity, and low cost. Eutectogels prepared by cross-linking polymers have good tensile properties, strong self-healing capacities, and excellent surface-adaptive adhesion. Herein, we emphasize for the first time the potential of zwitterionic deep eutectic solvents (DESs), in which betaine is a hydrogen bond acceptor. Polymeric zwitterionic eutectogels were prepared by directly polymerizing acrylamide in zwitterionic DESs. The obtained eutectogels owned excellent ionic conductivity (0.23 mS cm-1), superior stretchability (approximately 1400% elongation), self-healing (82.01%), self-adhesion, and wide temperature tolerance. Accordingly, the zwitterionic eutectogel was successfully applied in wearable self-adhesive strain sensors, which can adhere to skins and monitor body motions with high sensitivity and excellent cyclic stability over a wide temperature range (-80 to 80 °C). Moreover, this strain sensor owned an appealing sensing function on bidirectional monitoring. The findings in this work can pave the way for the design of soft materials with versatility and environmental adaptation.

Abstract
The booming wearable/portable electronic devices industry has stimulated the progress of supporting flexible energy storage devices. Excellent performance of flexible devices not only requires the component units of each device to maintain the original performance under external forces, but also demands the overall device to be flexible in response to external fields. However, flexible energy storage devices inevitably occur mechanical damages (extrusion, impact, vibration)/electrical damages (overcharge, over-discharge, external short circuit) during long-term complex deformation conditions, causing serious performance degradation and safety risks. Inspired by the healing phenomenon of nature, endowing energy storage devices with self-healing capability has become a promising strategy to effectively improve the durability and functionality of devices. Herein, this review systematically summarizes the latest progress in intrinsic self-healing chemistry for energy storage devices. Firstly, the main intrinsic self-healing mechanism is introduced. Then, the research situation of electrodes, electrolytes, artificial interface layers and integrated devices based on intrinsic self-healing and advanced characterization technology is reviewed. Finally, the current challenges and perspective are provided. We believe this critical review will contribute to the development of intrinsic self-healing chemistry in the flexible energy storage field.

Abstract
Recent developments in flexible electronics have heightened the need for electrolytes with high safety, ionic conductivity, and electrochemical stability. However, neither conventional organic electrolytes nor aqueous electrolytes can meet the above requirements simultaneously. Herein, a novel "water-in-deep eutectic solvent" gel (WIDG) electrolyte synergistically controlled by the solvation regulation and gelation strategies is reported. The water molecules introduced into deep eutectic solvent (DES) participate in the solvation structure regulation of Li+, thus endowing the WIDG electrolyte with high safety, thermal stability, and outstanding electrochemical performance, including high ionic conductivity (∼1.23 mS cm-1) and a wide electrochemical window (∼5.4 V). Besides, the polymer in the gel interacts with DES and H2O, further optimizing the electrolyte with excellent mechanical strength and higher operating voltage. Benefiting from these advantages, the lithium-ion capacitor constructed by WIDG electrolyte presents a high areal capacitance of 246 mF cm-2 with an energy density of 87.3 μWh cm-2. The use of the gel enhances the electrode structure stability, resulting in desirable cycling stability (>90% capacity retention after 1400 cycles). Moreover, the WIDG-assembled sensor exhibits high sensitivity and rapid real-time detection of motion. This work will provide guidelines for designing high-safety and high-operating-voltage electrolytes for flexible electronics.

Abstract
The implementation of high-safety Li metal batteries (LMBs) needs more stable and safer electrolytes. The solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) with their advantageous properties stand out for this purpose. However, low Li/electrolyte interfacial instability and uncontrolled Li dendrites growth trigger unceasing breakage of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), leading to fast capacity degradation. In response to these shortcomings, a new type of polymer electrolyte with self-healing capacity is introduced by grafting ionic liquid chain units into the backbones of polymers, which inherits the chemical inertness against the Li anode, allowing high Li+ transport, wide electrochemical window, and self-healing traits. Benefiting from the strong external H-bonding interactions, the obtained polymer electrolyte can spontaneously reconstruct dendrite-induced defects and fatigue crack growth at the Li/electrolyte interface, and, in turn, help tailor Li deposition. Owing to the resilient Li/electrolyte interface and dendrite-free Li plating, the equipped Li|LFP batteries display a high initial specific capacity of 134.7 mA h g-1, rendering a capacity retention of 91.2% after 206 cycles at room temperature. The new polymer electrolyte will undoubtedly bring inspiration for developing practical LMBs with highly improved safety and interfacial stability.

Abstract
Batteries with a Li-metal anode have recently attracted extensive attention from the battery communities owing to their high energy density. However, severe dendrite growth hinders their practical applications. More seriously, when Li dendrites pierce the separators and trigger short circuit in a highly flammable organic electrolyte, the results would be catastrophic. Although the issues of growth of Li dendrites have been almost addressed by various methods, the highly flammable nature of conventional organic liquid electrolytes is still a lingering fear facing high-energy-density Li-metal batteries given the possibility of thermal runaway of the high-voltage cathode. Recently, various kinds of nonflammable liquid- or solid-state electrolytes have shown great potential toward safer Li-metal batteries with minimal detrimental effect on the battery performance or even enhanced electrochemical performance. In this review, recent advances in developing nonflammable electrolyte for high-energy-density Li-metal batteries including high-concentration electrolyte, localized high-concentration electrolyte, fluorinated electrolyte, ionic liquid electrolyte, and polymer electrolyte are summarized. Then, the solvation structure of different kinds of nonflammable liquid and polymer electrolytes are analyzed to provide insight into the mechanism for dendrite suppression and fire extinguishing. Finally, guidelines for future design of nonflammable electrolyte for safer Li-metal batteries are provided.

Abstract
An oligo/poly(methyl(2-(tris(2-H methoxyethoxy)silyl)ethyl)siloxane)), 390EO, and 2550EO, were synthesized. Dilute electrolyte solutions of 390EO and 2550EO were prepared using LiTFSI, LiFSI, and LiPF6 . The influence of the length of the siloxane polymer chain, salt type, and Si-tripodand centers at the side chain on ionic conductivity, tLi + , and physical properties were examined. Both electrolyte systems showed high values of tLi + (0.35 for 2550EO/LiTFSI and 0.64 for 390EO/LiTFSI). Alternatively 390EO/LiPF6 and 2550EO/LiPF6 displayed high tLi + values of 0.61 and 0.44, respectively, while 390EO/LiFSI displayed the smallest tLi+ (0.25). To clarify the role played by the Li+ environment in Li+ transport, the solvation states of electrolytes were examined. It was observed that anion solvation can be achieved using siloxane-based solvent in all systems. Walden plot analysis demonstrates that ionic diffusion was not controlled by either macroviscosity/microviscosity in the siloxane-based polymer electrolytes. Ions instead move along a relatively smooth ion-pathway without complete full segmental reorientation in 2550EO as a result of decoupling and high ion solvation behavior. Conversely, in 390EO, ions might move to available sites by a jumping after decoupling with low ion solvation behavior. Consequently, a high t Li + was achieved, and the oxidative stability of the salt was ensured.

Abstract
The integration of polymer materials with self-healing features into advanced lithium batteries is a promising and attractive approach to mitigate degradation and, thus, improve the performance and reliability of batteries. Polymeric materials with an ability to autonomously repair themselves after damage may compensate for the mechanical rupture of an electrolyte, prevent the cracking and pulverization of electrodes or stabilize a solid electrolyte interface (SEI), thus prolonging the cycling lifetime of a battery while simultaneously tackling financial and safety issues. This paper comprehensively reviews various categories of self-healing polymer materials for application as electrolytes and adaptive coatings for electrodes in lithium-ion (LIBs) and lithium metal batteries (LMBs). We discuss the opportunities and current challenges in the development of self-healable polymeric materials for lithium batteries in terms of their synthesis, characterization and underlying self-healing mechanism, as well as performance, validation and optimization.

Abstract
Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs), composed of sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type Li1+xAlxTi2-x(PO4)3 (LATP), poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene) (PVDF-HFP), and lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt, are designed and fabricated for lithium-metal batteries. The effects of the key design parameters (i.e., LiTFSI/LATP ratio, CSE thickness, and carbon content) on the specific capacity, coulombic efficiency, and cyclic stability were systematically investigated. The optimal CSE configuration, superior specific capacity (~160 mAh g-1), low electrode polarization (~0.12 V), and remarkable cyclic stability (a capacity retention of 86.8%) were achieved during extended cycling (>200 cycles). In addition, with the optimal CSE structure, a high ionic conductivity (~2.83 × 10-4 S cm-1) was demonstrated at an ambient temperature. The CSE configuration demonstrated in this work can be employed for designing highly durable CSEs with enhanced ionic conductivity and significantly reduced interfacial electrolyte/electrode resistance.

Abstract
Organic batteries using redox-active polymers and small organic compounds have become promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices due to the abundance, environmental benignity, and diverse nature of organic resources. To date, tremendous research efforts have been devoted to developing advanced organic electrode materials and understanding the material structure-performance correlation in organic batteries. In contrast, less attention was paid to the correlation between electrolyte structure and battery performance, despite the critical roles of electrolytes for the dissolution of organic electrode materials, the formation of the electrode-electrolyte interphase, and the solvation/desolvation of charge carriers. In this review, we discuss the prospects and challenges of organic batteries with an emphasis on electrolytes. The differences between organic and inorganic batteries in terms of electrolyte property requirements and charge storage mechanisms are elucidated. To provide a comprehensive and thorough overview of the electrolyte development in organic batteries, the electrolytes are divided into four categories including organic liquid electrolytes, aqueous electrolytes, inorganic solid electrolytes, and polymer-based electrolytes, to introduce different components, concentrations, additives, and applications in various organic batteries with different charge carriers, interphases, and separators. The perspectives and outlook for the future development of advanced electrolytes are also discussed to provide a guidance for the electrolyte design and optimization in organic batteries. We believe that this review will stimulate an in-depth study of electrolytes and accelerate the commercialization of organic batteries.

Abstract
To achieve stable Li anode cycling with a high-voltage cathode and high efficiency, a novel ester diluent-based localized high-concentration electrolyte (LHCE) was successfully applied. The oxidation resistance of the high-concentration electrolyte is retained after dilution. More than 99.5% Coulombic efficiency is achieved in Li||Cu cells owing to the optimized physical properties, and the robust SEI film enables superior long-term operation with a high-voltage cathode. This strategy verifies the effectiveness of developing ester diluents for LHCEs applied in lithium metal batteries.
