Abstract
Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) have attracted attention as novel organic solid electrolyte materials, but their insufficient mechanical strength and ionic conductivity have prevented their application. In this study, a lithium salt, lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide (LiFSA), and an inorganic solid electrolyte, Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO), were added to an OIPC, N,N-diethylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide ([C2epyr][FSA]). The fabricated organic-inorganic hybrid solid electrolytes were evaluated thermally, mechanically, and electrochemically to reveal which factors affect the properties of the electrolytes. All samples showed excellent thermal stability regardless of LiFSA or LLZO concentration, and they were found to be highly plastic and ion-conductive solids at a wide range of temperatures. It was also revealed that the addition of LLZO raised the nanoindentation stiffness (HIT) of the [C2epyr][FSA]/LiFSA composites. The ionic conductivity of the hybrid electrolytes was higher than that of the pristine OIPC, reaching a value of 2.1 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C upon addition of appropriate amounts of LiFSA and LLZO. Overall, samples with higher LiFSA concentration and moderate LLZO concentration exhibited higher ionic conductivity. Cyclic voltammetry results showed that the [C2epyr][FSA]/LiFSA/LLZO composites were lithium-ion conductors. These findings indicate that by optimizing the concentrations of lithium salt and LLZO, it would be possible to realize their applications as solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have attracted extensive interests due to the advantages in developing secondary batteries with high energy density and outstanding safety. Possessing high ionic conductivity and the lowest reduction potential among the state-of-the-art SSEs, the garnet type SSE is one of the most promising candidates to achieve high performance solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs). However, the elastic modulus of the garnet electrolyte leads to deteriorated interfacial contacts, and the increasing in electronic conduction at either anode/garnet interface or grain boundary results in Li dendrite growth. Here, recent developments of the solid interfaces for the garnet electrolytes, including the strategies of Li dendrite suppression and interfacial chemical/electrochemical/mechanical stabilizations are presented. A new viewpoint of the double edges of interfacial lithiophobicity is proposed, and the rational design of the interphases, as well as effective stacking methods of the garnet-based SSLBs are summarized. Moreover, practical roles of the garnet electrolyte in SSLB industry are also discussed. This work delivers insights into the solid interfaces for the garnet electrolytes, which provides not only the promotion of the garnet-based SSLBs, but also a comprehensive understanding of the interfacial stabilization for the whole SSE family.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium batteries are promising next-generation energy storage systems for electric vehicles due to their high energy density and high safety and require achieving and maintaining intimate solid-solid interfaces for lithium-ion and electron transport. However, the solid-solid interfaces may evolve over cycling, disrupting the ion and electron diffusion pathways and leading to rapid performance degradation. The development of solid-state lithium batteries has been hindered by the lack of fundamental understanding of the interfacial microstructure change over cycling and its relation to electrochemical properties. Herein, we prepared a quasi-solid-state lithium battery, 30%LiFePO4-55%Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3-15%C| Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3|Li, by spark plasma sintering, and employed it as a model system to reveal the microstructure evolution at the solid-solid interfaces with electrochemical performance of the batteries. The electrochemical assessment showed that the quasi-solid-state lithium battery exhibited a discharge specific capacity of about 150 mAh g-1 in the first 80 cycles and then experienced severe capacity attenuation afterward, accompanied by a gradual internal resistance increase. Scanning electron microscopy observation showed that more cracks were formed inside the solid-state electrolyte and at the solid-solid interfaces as the battery cycled from 10 to 67 and 157 cycles. Detailed microstructure and phase analysis by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction discovered that the crack formation and performance decay were mainly caused by (1) the volume change of the LiFePO4 composite cathode during cycling, (2) the grain expansion of the Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 solid-state electrolyte at its interface with lithium anode, and (3) the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase layer, comprising Li2CO3, LiF, and LiTFSI, at the cathode-solid-state electrolyte interface. These microstructure changes built up over repeated battery cycling, ultimately causing the structure collapse and battery failure. The microstructure evolution information is expected to guide the design of better structures and interfaces for solid-state lithium batteries.

Abstract
We introduce an adhesion parameter that enables rapid screening for materials interfaces with high adhesion. This parameter is obtained by density functional theory calculations of individual single-material slabs rather than slabs consisting of combinations of two materials, eliminating the need to calculate all configurations of a prohibitively vast space of possible interface configurations. Cleavage energy calculations are used as an upper bound for electrolyte and coating energies and implemented in an adapted contact angle equation to derive the adhesion parameter. In addition to good adhesion, we impose further constraints in electrochemical stability window, abundance, bulk reactivity, and stability to screen for coating materials for next-generation solid-state batteries. Good adhesion is critical in combating delamination and resistance to lithium diffusivity in solid-state batteries. Here, we identify several promising coating candidates for the Li7La3Zr2O12 and sulfide electrolyte systems including the previously investigated electrode coating materials LiAlSiO4 and Li5AlO8, making them especially attractive for experimental optimization and commercialization.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SEs) have attracted overwhelming attention as a promising alternative to traditional organic liquid electrolytes (OLEs) for high-energy-density sodium-metal batteries (SMBs), owing to their intrinsic incombustibility, wider electrochemical stability window (ESW), and better thermal stability. Among various kinds of SEs, inorganic solid-state electrolytes (ISEs) stand out because of their high ionic conductivity, excellent oxidative stability, and good mechanical strength, rendering potential utilization in safe and dendrite-free SMBs at room temperature. However, the development of Na-ion ISEs still remains challenging, that a perfect solution has yet to be achieved. Herein, we provide a comprehensive and in-depth inspection of the state-of-the-art ISEs, aiming at revealing the underlying Na+ conduction mechanisms at different length scales, and interpreting their compatibility with the Na metal anode from multiple aspects. A thorough material screening will include nearly all ISEs developed to date, i.e., oxides, chalcogenides, halides, antiperovskites, and borohydrides, followed by an overview of the modification strategies for enhancing their ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility with Na metal, including synthesis, doping and interfacial engineering. By discussing the remaining challenges in ISE research, we propose rational and strategic perspectives that can serve as guidelines for future development of desirable ISEs and practical implementation of high-performance SMBs.

Abstract
A processing solvent-free manufacturing process for cross-linked ternary solid polymer electrolytes (TSPEs) is presented. Ternary electrolytes (PEODA, Pyr14TFSI, LiTFSI) with high ionic conductivities of >1 mS cm-1 are obtained. It is shown that an increased LiTFSI content in the formulation (10 wt% to 30 wt%) decreases the risk of short-circuits by HSAL significantly. The practical areal capacity increases by more than a factor of 20 from 0.42 mA h cm-2 to 8.80 mA h cm-2 before a short-circuit occurs. With increasing Pyr14TFSI content, the temperature dependency of the ionic conductivity changes from Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann to Arrhenius behavior, leading to activation energies for the ion conduction of 0.23 eV. In addition, high Coulombic efficiencies of 93% in Cu‖Li cells and limiting current densities of 0.46 mA cm-2 in Li‖Li cells were obtained. Due to a temperature stability of >300 °C the electrolyte guarantees high safety in a broad window of conditions. In LFP‖Li cells, a high discharge capacity of 150 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 60 °C was achieved.

Abstract
The substitution of an organic liquid electrolyte with lithium-conducting solid materials is a promising approach to overcome the limitations associated with conventional lithium-ion batteries. These constraints include a reduced electrochemical stability window, high toxicity, flammability, and the formation of lithium dendrites. In this way, all-solid-state batteries present themselves as ideal candidates for improving energy density, environmental friendliness, and safety. In particular, all-solid-state configurations allow the introduction of compact, lightweight, high-energy-density batteries, suitable for low-power applications, known as thin-film batteries. Moreover, solid electrolytes typically offer wide electrochemical stability windows, enabling the integration of high-voltage cathodes and permitting the fabrication of higher-energy-density batteries. A high-voltage, all-solid-state lithium-ion thin-film battery composed of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode, a LiPON solid electrolyte, and a lithium metal anode has been deposited layer by layer on low-cost stainless-steel current collector substrates. The structural and electrochemical properties of each electroactive component of the battery had been analyzed separately prior to the full cell implementation. In addition to a study of the internal solid-solid interface, comparing them was done with two similar cells assembled using conventional lithium foil, one with thin-film solid electrolyte and another one with thin-film solid electrolyte plus a droplet of LP30 liquid electrolyte. The thin-film all-solid state cell developed in this work delivered 80.5 mAh g-1 in the first cycle at C/20 and after a C-rate test of 25 cycles at C/10, C/5, C/2, and 1C and stabilized its capacity at around 70 mAh g-1 for another 12 cycles prior to the start of its degradation. This cell reached gravimetric and volumetric energy densities of 333 Wh kg-1 and 1,212 Wh l-1, respectively. Overall, this cell showed a better performance than its counterparts assembled with Li foil, highlighting the importance of the battery interface control.

Abstract
In this article, we report the effect of a Li6.75La3Zr2Al0.25O12 (LLZAO) composite Li(Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1)O2 (NCM811) cathode material on the performance of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) with oxide-based organic/inorganic hybrid solid electrolytes. The layered structure of Ni-rich cathode material Li(Ni x Co(1-x)/2Mn(1-x)/2)O2 (x > 0.6) (NCM) exhibiting a high specific capacity is among the suitable cathode materials for next-generation energy storage systems, particularly electric vehicles and portable devices for all-solid-state batteries. However, the ASSBs present a problem-the resistance at the interface between a cathode and solid electrolyte is larger than that with a liquid electrolyte because of point contact. To solve this problem, using a simultaneous co-precipitation method, we composited various amounts of LLZAO material and an ion conducting material on the cathode material's surface. Therefore, to optimize the value of the LLZAO material in the composite cathode material, the structure, cycling stability, and rate performance of the NCM-LLZAO composite cathode material in ASSBs with oxide-based inorganic/organic-hybrid electrolytes were investigated using powder X-ray diffraction analysis, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic measurements.

Although one of the most mature battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries still have many aspects that have not reached the desired requirements, such as energy density, current density, safety, environmental compatibility, and price. To solve these problems, all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLB) based on lithium metal anodes with high energy density and safety have been proposed and become a research hotpot in recent years. Due to the advanced electrochemical properties of 2D materials (2DM), they have been applied to mitigate some of the current problems of ASSLBs, such as high interface impedance and low electrolyte ionic conductivity. In this work, the background and fabrication method of 2DMs are reviewed initially. The improvement strategies of 2DMs are categorized based on their application in the three main components of ASSLBs: The anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Finally, to elucidate the mechanisms of 2DMs in ASSLBs, the role of in situ characterization, synchrotron X-ray techniques, and other advanced characterization are discussed.

Abstract
Hybrid solid/gel electrolytes (SGEs) have generated much research attentions because of their capability to suppress Li dendrite growth and improve battery safety. However, the interfacial compatibility of the electrode/electrolyte or polymer/inorganic ceramics within hybrid electrolytes remains challenging for practical applications. Herein, an SGE is fabricated by confining ceramic particles (Li7La3Zr2O12; LLZO) into in situ formed tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4)-based gel electrolytes within assembled cells. A hierarchical layered structure is formed when LLZO settles near the Li anode within the liquid electrolyte during the gradual gelatinization process. Good interfacial compatibility is obtained from good contact with the liquid G4 component. The LLZO layer also serves as an ionic sieve to redistribute the Li deposition. This SGE endows stable Li stripping/plating cycling over 800 h at 0.5 mA/cm2 (60 °C). Moreover, Li-metal batteries with an SGE coupled with LiFePO4 and an air cathode both exhibit superior cycling performance. This work presents a promising strategy for hierarchically layered SGEs for high-performance Li-metal batteries.

Abstract
Ceramic oxide electrolytes are outstanding due to their excellent thermostability, wide electrochemical stable windows, superior Li-ion conductivity, and high elastic modulus compared to other electrolytes. To achieve high energy density, all-solid-state batteries require thin solid-state electrolytes that are dozens of micrometers thick due to the high density of ceramic electrolytes. Perovskite-type Li0.34 La0.56 TiO3 (LLTO) freestanding ceramic electrolyte film with a thickness of 25 µm is prepared by tape-casting. Compared to a thick electrolyte (>200 µm) obtained by cold-pressing, the total Li ionic conductivity of this LLTO film improves from 9.6 × 10-6 to 2.0 × 10-5 S cm-1 . In addition, the LLTO film with a thickness of 25 µm exhibits a flexural strength of 264 MPa. An all-solid-state Li-metal battery assembled with a 41 µm thick LLTO exhibits an initial discharge capacity of 145 mAh g-1 and a high capacity retention ratio of 86.2% after 50 cycles. Reducing the thickness of oxide ceramic electrolytes is crucial to reduce the resistance of electrolytes and improve the energy density of Li-metal batteries.
