Abstract
Solid-state Li-ion batteries have emerged as the most promising next-generation energy storage systems, offering theoretical advantages such as superior safety and higher energy density. However, polymer-based solid-state Li-ion batteries face challenges across wide temperature ranges. The primary issue lies in the fact that most polymer electrolytes exhibit relatively low ionic conductivity at or below room temperature. This sensitivity to temperature variations poses challenges in operating solid-state lithium batteries at sub-zero temperatures. Moreover, elevated working temperatures lead to polymer shrinkage and deformation, ultimately resulting in battery failure. To address this challenge of polymer-based solid-state batteries, this review presents an overview of various promising polymer electrolyte systems. The review provides insights into the temperature-dependent physical and electrochemical properties of polymers, aiming to expand the temperature range of operation. The review also further summarizes modification strategies for polymer electrolytes suited to diverse temperatures. The final section summarizes the performance of various polymer-based solid-state batteries at different temperatures. Valuable insights and potential future research directions for designing wide-temperature polymer electrolytes are presented based on the differences in battery performance. This information is intended to inspire practical applications of wide-temperature polymer-based solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Polymer electrolytes (PEs) have been thoroughly investigated due to their advantages that can prevent severe problems of Li-ion batteries, such as electrolyte leakage, flammability, and lithium dendrite growth to enhance thermal and electrochemical stabilities. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) using in situ polymerization are typically prepared by thermal or UV curing methods by initially impregnating liquid precursors inside the electrode. The in situ method can resolve insufficient interfacial problems between electrode and electrolyte compared with the ex situ method, which could led to a poor cycle performance due to high interfacial resistance. In addition to the abovementioned advantage, it can enhance the form factor of bare cells since the precursor can be injected before polymerization prior to the solidification of the desired shapes. These suggest that gel polymer electrolytes prepared by in situ polymerization are a promising material for lithium-ion 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
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are attractive for energy storage, mainly because introducing solid-state electrolytes significantly improves the battery performance in terms of safety, energy density, process compatibility, etc., compared with liquid electrolytes. However, the ionic conductivity of the solid-state electrolyte and the interface between the electrolyte and the electrode are two key factors that limit the performance of ASSBs. In this work, we investigated the structure of a Li0.33La0.55TiO3 (LLTO) thin-film solid electrolyte and the influence of different interfaces between LLTO electrolytes and electrodes on battery performance. The maximum ionic conductivity of the LLTO was 7.78 × 10-5 S/cm. Introducing a buffer layer could drastically improve the battery charging and discharging performance and cycle stability. Amorphous SiO2 allowed good physical contact with the electrode and the electrolyte, reduced the interface resistance, and improved the rate characteristics of the battery. The battery with the optimized interface could achieve 30C current output, and its capacity was 27.7% of the initial state after 1000 cycles. We achieved excellent performance and high stability by applying the dense amorphous SiO2 buffer layer, which indicates a promising strategy for the development of ASSBs.

Abstract
In the development of solid-state lithium batteries, solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) has drawn extensive concerns for its thermal and chemical stability, low density, and good processability. Especially SPE efficiently suppresses the formation of lithium dendrite and promotes battery safety. However, most of SPE is derived from the matrix with simple functional group, which suffers from low ionic conductivity, reduced mechanical properties after conductivity modification, bad electrochemical stability, and low lithium-ion transference number. Appling macromolecular design with multiple functional groups to polymer matrix is accepted as a strategy to solve the problems of SPE fundamentally. In this review, macromolecular design based on lithium conducting groups is summarized including copolymerization, network construction, and grafting. Meanwhile, the construction of single-ion conductor polymer is also focused herein. Moreover, synergistic effects between the designed matrix, lithium salt, and fillers are reviewed with the objective to further improve the performance of SPE. At last, future studies on macromolecular design are proposed in the development of SPE for solid-state batteries with high energy density and durability.
