Abstract
High-voltage potassium-based batteries are promising alternatives for lithium-ion batteries as next-generation energy storage devices. The stability and reversibility of such systems depend largely on the properties of the corresponding electrolytes. This review first presents major challenges for high-voltage electrolytes, such as electrolyte decomposition, parasitic side reactions, and current collector corrosion. Then, the state-of-the-art modification strategies for traditional ester and ether-based organic electrolytes are scrutinized and discussed, including high concentration, localized high concentration/weakly solvating strategy, multi-ion strategy, and addition of high-voltage additives. Besides, research advances of other promising electrolyte systems, such as potassium-based ionic liquids and solid-state-electrolytes are also summarized. Finally, prospective future research directions are proposed to further enhance the oxidative stability and non-corrosiveness of electrolytes for high-voltage potassium batteries.

Abstract
Anode-free lithium-metal batteries employ in situ lithium-plated current collectors as negative electrodes to afford optimal mass and volumetric energy densities. The main challenges to such batteries include their poor cycling stability and the safety issues of the flammable organic electrolytes. Here, a high-voltage 4.7 V anode-free lithium-metal battery is reported, which uses a Cu foil coated with a layer (≈950 nm) of silicon-polyacrylonitrile (Si-PAN, 25.5 µg cm-2 ) as the negative electrode, a high-voltage cobalt-free LiNi0.5 Mn1.5 O4 (LNMO) as the positive electrode and a safe, nonflammable ionic liquid electrolyte composed of 4.5 m lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) salt in N-methyl-N-propyl pyrrolidiniumbis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (Py13 FSI) with 1 wt% lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) as additive. The Si-PAN coating is found to seed the growth of lithium during charging, and reversibly expand/shrink during lithium plating/stripping over battery cycling. The wide-voltage-window electrolyte containing a high concentration of FSI- and TFSI- facilitates the formation of stable solid-electrolyte interphase, affording a 4.7 V anode-free Cu@Si-PAN/LiNi0.5 Mn1.5 O4 battery with a reversible specific capacity of ≈120 mAh g-1 and high cycling stability (80% capacity retention after 120 cycles). These results represent the first anode-free Li battery with a high 4.7 V discharge voltage and high safety.

Abstract
AbstractLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most important electrochemical energy storage devices due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and low cost. During the past decades, many review papers outlining the advantages of state-of-the-art LIBs have been published, and extensive efforts have been devoted to improving their specific energy density and cycle life performance. These papers are primarily focused on the design and development of various advanced cathode and anode electrode materials, with less attention given to the other important components of the battery. The “nonelectroconductive” components are of equal importance to electrode active materials and can significantly affect the performance of LIBs. They could directly impact the capacity, safety, charging time, and cycle life of batteries and thus affect their commercial application. This review summarizes the recent progress in the development of nonaqueous electrolytes, binders, and separators for LIBs and discusses their impact on the battery performance. In addition, the challenges and perspectives for future development of LIBs are discussed, and new avenues for state-of-the-art LIBs to reach their full potential for a wide range of practical applications are outlined.

Abstract
The uncontrolled oxidative decomposition of electrolyte while operating at high potential (> 4.2 V vs Li/Li+) severely affects the performance of high-energy density transition metal oxide-based materials as cathodes in Li-ion batteries. To restrict this degradative response of electrolyte species, the need for functional molecules as electrolyte additives that can restrict the electrolytic decomposition is imminent. In this regard, bio-derived molecules are cost-effective, environment friendly, and non-toxic alternatives to their synthetic counter parts. Here, we report the application of microbially synthesized 2,5-dimethyl-3,6-bis(4-aminobenzyl)pyrazine (DMBAP) as an electrolyte additive that stabilizes high-voltage (4.5 V vs Li/Li+) LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cathodes. The high-lying highest occupied molecular orbital of bio-additive (DMBAP) inspires its sacrificial in situ oxidative decomposition to form an organic passivation layer on the cathode surface. This restricts the excessive electrolyte decomposition to form a tailored cathode electrolyte interface to administer cyclic stability and enhance the capacity retention of the cathode.

Abstract
Employing high-voltage Ni-rich cathodes in Li metal batteries (LMBs) requires stabilization of the electrode/electrolyte interfaces at both electrodes. A stable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and suppression of active material pulverization remain the greatest challenges to achieving efficient long-term cycling. Herein, studies of NMC622 (1 mAh cm-2) cathodes were performed using highly concentrated N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (C3mpyrFSI) 50 mol % lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) ionic liquid electrolyte (ILE). The resulting SEI formed at the cathode enabled promising cycling performance (98.13% capacity retention after 100 cycles), and a low degree of ion mixing and lattice expansion was observed, even at an elevated temperature of 50 °C. Fitting of acquired impedance spectra indicated that the SEI resistivity (RSEI) had a low and stable contribution to the internal resistivity of the system, whereas active material pulverization and secondary grain isolation significantly increased the charge transfer resistance (RCT) throughout cycling.

Abstract
Concerns about thermal safety and unresolved high-voltage stability have impeded the commercialization of high-energy lithium-ion batteries bearing LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cathodes. Enhancing the cathode structure and optimizing the electrolyte formula have demonstrated significant potential in improving the high-voltage properties of batteries while simultaneously minimizing thermal hazards. The current study reports the development of a high-voltage lithium-ion battery that is both safe and reliable, using single-crystal NCM811 and a dual-salt electrolyte (DSE). After 200 cycles at high voltage (up to 4.5 V), the capacity retention of the battery with DSE was 98.80%, while that for the battery with a traditional electrolyte was merely 86.14%. Additionally, in comparison to the traditional electrolyte, the DSE could raise the tipping temperature of a battery's thermal runaway (TR) by 31.1 °C and lower the maximum failure temperature by 76.1 °C. Moreover, the DSE could effectively reduce the battery's TR heat release rate (by 23.08%) as well as eliminate concerns relating to fire hazards (no fire during TR). Based on material characterization, the LiDFOB and LiBF4 salts were found to facilitate the in situ formation of an F- and B-rich cathode-electrolyte interphase, which aids in inhibiting oxygen and interfacial side reactions, thereby reducing the intensity of redox reactions within the battery. Therefore, the findings indicate that DSE is promising as a safe and high-voltage lithium-ion battery material.

Abstract
Solid-state polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for high electrochemical performance lithium-ion batteries have received considerable attention due to their unique characteristics; they are not prone to leakage, and they exhibit low flammability, excellent processability, good flexibility, high safety levels, and superior thermal stability. However, current SPEs are far from commercialization, mainly due to the low ionic conductivity, low Li+ transference number (tLi+ ), poor electrode/electrolyte interface contact, narrow electrochemical oxidation window, and poor long-term stability of Li metal. Recent work on improving electrochemical performance and these aspects of SPEs are summarized systematically here with a particular focus on the underlying mechanisms, and the improvement strategies are also proposed. This review could lead to a deeper consideration of the issues and solutions affecting the application of SPEs and pave a new pathway to safe, high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
High-voltage lithium metal batteries (HVLMBs) have been arguably regarded as the most prospective solution to ultrahigh-density energy storage devices beyond the reach of current technologies. Electrolyte, the only component inside the HVLMBs in contact with both aggressive cathode and Li anode, is expected to maintain stable electrode/electrolyte interfaces (EEIs) and facilitate reversible Li+ transference. Unfortunately, traditional electrolytes with narrow electrochemical windows fail to compromise the catalysis of high-voltage cathodes and infamous reactivity of the Li metal anode, which serves as a major contributor to detrimental electrochemical performance fading and thus impedes their practical applications. Developing stable electrolytes is vital for the further development of HVLMBs. However, optimization principles, design strategies, and future perspectives for the electrolytes of the HVLMBs have not been summarized in detail. This review first gives a systematical overview of recent progress in the improvement of traditional electrolytes and the design of novel electrolytes for the HVLMBs. Different strategies of conventional electrolyte modification, including high concentration electrolytes and CEI and SEI formation with additives, are covered. Novel electrolytes including fluorinated, ionic-liquid, sulfone, nitrile, and solid-state electrolytes are also outlined. In addition, theoretical studies and advanced characterization methods based on the electrolytes of the HVLMBs are probed to study the internal mechanism for ultrahigh stability at an extreme potential. It also foresees future research directions and perspectives for further development of electrolytes in the HVLMBs.

Abstract
Electrode processing plays an important role in advancing lithium-ion battery technologies and has a significant impact on cell energy density, manufacturing cost, and throughput. Compared to the extensive research on materials development, however, there has been much less effort in this area. In this Review, we outline each step in the electrode processing of lithium-ion batteries from materials to cell assembly, summarize the recent progress in individual steps, deconvolute the interplays between those steps, discuss the underlying constraints, and share some prospective technologies. This Review aims to provide an overview of the whole process in lithium-ion battery fabrication from powder to cell formation and bridge the gap between academic development and industrial manufacturing.

Abstract
Since the advent of the Li ion batteries (LIBs), the energy density has been tripled, mainly attributed to the increase of the electrode capacities. Now, the capacity of transition metal oxide cathodes is approaching the limit due to the stability limitation of the electrolytes. To further promote the energy density of LIBs, the most promising strategies are to enhance the cut-off voltage of the prevailing cathodes or explore novel high-capacity and high-voltage cathode materials, and also replacing the graphite anode with Si/Si-C or Li metal. However, the commercial ethylene carbonate (EC)-based electrolytes with relatively low anodic stability of ∼4.3 V vs. Li+/Li cannot sustain high-voltage cathodes. The bottleneck restricting the electrochemical performance in Li batteries has veered towards new electrolyte compositions catering for aggressive next-generation cathodes and Si/Si-C or Li metal anodes, since the oxidation-resistance of the electrolytes and the in situ formed cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layers at the high-voltage cathodes and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers on anodes critically control the electrochemical performance of these high-voltage Li batteries. In this review, we present a comprehensive and in-depth overview on the recent advances, fundamental mechanisms, scientific challenges, and design strategies for the novel high-voltage electrolyte systems, especially focused on stability issues of the electrolytes, the compatibility and interactions between the electrolytes and the electrodes, and reaction mechanisms. Finally, novel insights, promising directions and potential solutions for high voltage electrolytes associated with effective SEI/CEI layers are proposed to motivate revolutionary next-generation high-voltage Li battery chemistries.

Abstract
The dissolution of LiNO3 in carbonate electrolytes is achieved by introducing pyridine as a new carrier solvent owing to its higher Gutmann donor number than NO3-. The Li metal anode in LiNO3-containing carbonate electrolyte demonstrates a much enhanced reversibility due to the preferential reduction of LiNO3 and the formation of an inorganic-rich SEI.

Abstract
Li-ion-hopping conduction is known to occur in certain highly concentrated electrolytes, and this conduction mode is effective for achieving lithium batteries with high rate capabilities. Herein, we investigated the effects of the solvent structure on the hopping conduction of Li ions in highly concentrated LiBF4/sulfone electrolytes. Raman spectroscopy revealed that a Li+ ion forms complexes with sulfone and anions, and contact ion pairs and ionic aggregates are formed in the highly concentrated electrolytes. Li+ exchanges ligands (sulfone and BF4-) rapidly to produce unusual hopping conduction in highly concentrated electrolytes. The structure of the solvent significantly influences the hopping conduction process. We measured the self-diffusion coefficients of Li+ (DLi), anions (Danion), and sulfone solvents (Dsol) in electrolytes. The ratio of the self-diffusion coefficients (DLi/Dsol) tended to be higher for cyclic sulfones (sulfolane and 3-methylsulfolane) than for acyclic sulfones, which suggests that cyclic sulfone molecules facilitate Li-ion hopping. The hopping conduction increases the Li+-transference number (tLi+abc) under anion-blocking conditions, and tLi+abc of [LiBF4]/[cyclic sulfone] = 1/2 is as high as 0.8.

Abstract
Flexible lithium-air batteries (FLABs) with ultrahigh theoretical energy density are considered as the most promising energy storage devices for next-generation flexible and wearable electronics. However, their practical application is seriously hindered by various obstacles, including bulky and rigid electrodes, instability/low conductivity of electrolytes, and especially, the inherent semi-open structure. When operated in ambient air, moisture penetrated from an air cathode inevitably corrodes a Li metal anode, and most of the reported FLABs can only work under a pure oxygen or specific air (relative humidity: <40%) atmosphere, which cannot be regarded as a real "lithium-air battery". Herein, the author designed an innovative battery configuration by the synergy of a 3D open-structured Co3O4@MnO2 cathode and an integrated structure: a composite lithium anode encased in a gel electrolyte. A composite lithium anode fabricated through a simple, low-cost, and effective rolling method significantly relieves the fatigue fracture of the lithium electrode. Subsequently, an in situ-formed gel electrolyte encloses the composite lithium electrode, which not only reduces the electrode/electrolyte interfacial resistance but also acts as a protective layer, effectively preventing the lithium anode from corrosion. Consequentially, the battery can achieve more than 100 stable cycles in ambient air with a high relative humidity of 50%. To our surprise, the FLAB remains operational under extreme conditions, such as bending, twisting, clipping, and even soaking in water, demonstrating widespread applications in flexible electronics.

Abstract
The layered lithium-metal oxides are promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. Nevertheless, their widespread applications have been limited by the high cost, complex process, and poor stability resulting from the Ni2+/Li+ mixing. Hence, we have developed a facile one-spot method combining glucose and urea to form a deep eutectic solvent, which could lead to the homogeneous distribution and uniform mixing of transition-metal ions at the atomic level. LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 (NCM523) polyhedron with high homogeneity could be obtained through in situ chelating Ni2+, Co3+, and Mn4+ by the amid groups. The prepared material exhibits a relatively high initial electrochemical property, which is due to the unique single-crystal hierarchical porous nano/microstructure, the polyhedron with exposed active surfaces, and the negligible Ni2+/Li+ mixing level. This one-spot approach could be expanded to manufacture other hybrid transition-metal-based cathode materials for batteries.

Abstract
The development of gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) is considered to be an effective strategy to drive practical applications of high-voltage lithium metal batteries (HLMBs). However, rare GPEs that can satisfy the demands of HLMBs have been developed because of the limited compatibility with lithium anodes and high-voltage cathodes simultaneously. Herein, a novel strategy for constructing polymer matrixes with a customized frontier orbital energy for GPEs is proposed. The as-investigated polymer matrix (P(CUMA-NPF6))-based GPE (P(CUMA-NPF6)-GPE) obtained via in situ random polymerization delivers a wide voltage window (0-5.6 V vs Li+/Li), large lithium-ion transference number (tLi+, 0.61), and superior electrode/electrolyte interface compatibility. It is to be noted that such a tLi+ of P(CUMA-NPF6)-GPE, which is one of the largest tLi+ among high-voltage GPEs in a fair comparison, results from the high dissociation of lithium salts and effective anion immobilization abilities of P(CUMA-NPF6). Ultimately, the as-assembled HLMB delivers more enhanced cycle performance than its counterpart of commercial liquid electrolytes. It is also demonstrated that P(CUMA-NPF6) can scavenge the active PF5 intermediate generated in the electrolyte at the anode side, thus suppressing the PF5-mediated decomposition reaction of carbonates. This work will enlighten the rational structure design of GPEs for HLMBs.

Abstract
Methods to control internal interfaces in lithium ion batteries often require sophisticated procedures to deposit coating layers or introduce interphases, which are typically difficult to apply. This particularly holds for protection from parasitic reactions at the current collector, which reflects an internal interface for the electrode composite material and the electrolyte. In this work, electrolyte formulations based on aliphatic cyclic nitriles, cyclopentane-1-carbonitrile and cyclohexane-1-carbonitrile, are introduced that allow for successful suppression of aluminum dissolution and control of internal interfaces under application-relevant conditions. Such nitrile-based electrolytes show higher intrinsic oxidative and thermal stabilities as well as similar capacity retentions in lithium nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide LiNi3/5Mn1/5Co1/5O2 (NMC622)||graphite based full cells compared to the state-of-the-art organic carbonate-based electrolytes, even when bis(trifluoro-methane)sulfonimide lithium salt is utilized. Moreover, the importance of relative permittivity, degree of ion dissociation, and viscosity of the applied electrolyte formulations for the protection of current collector interfaces is emphasized.

Abstract
Electrochemical energy storage devices (EESs) play a crucial role for the construction of sustainable energy storage system from the point of generation to the end user due to the intermittent nature of renewable sources. Additionally, to meet the demand for next-generation electronic applications, optimizing the energy and power densities of EESs with long cycle life is the crucial factor. Great efforts have been devoted towards the search for new materials, to augment the overall performance of the EESs. Although there are a lot of ongoing researches in this field, the performance does not meet up to the level of commercialization. A further understanding of the charge storage mechanism and development of new electrode materials are highly required. The present review explains the overview of recent progress in supercapattery devices with reference to their various aspects. The different charge storage mechanisms and the multiple factors involved in the performance of the supercapattery are described in detail. Moreover, recent advancements in this supercapattery research and its electrochemical performances are reviewed. Finally, the challenges and possible future developments in this field are summarized.

Abstract
At the mesoscopic level of commercial lithium ion battery (LIB), it is widely believed that the poor contacts between current collector (CC) and electrode materials (EM) lead to weak adhesions and large interfacial electric resistances. However, systematic quantitative analyses of the influence of the interfacial properties of CC are still scarce. Here, we built a model interface between CC and electrode materials by directly growing hierarchical graphene films on commercial Al foil CC, and we performed systematic quantitative studies of the interfacial properties therein. Our results show that the interfacial electric resistance dominates, i.e. ∼2 orders of magnitude higher than that of electrode materials. The interfacial resistance could be eliminated by hierarchical graphene interlayer. Cathode on CC with eliminated interfacial resistance could deliver much improved power density outputs. Our work quantifies the mesoscopic factors influencing the battery performance and offers practical guidelines of boosting the performance of LIBs and beyond.

Abstract
Nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon-coated Li4 Ti5 O12 (denoted as LTO/NSC) was developed to enhance the electrochemical performance of LTO material. l-Cysteine served as both the carbon source and the heteroatom doping source. The morphology of LTO was tuned by Ti-C bond formation during carbonation process, accompanied by a change in the original orientation growth of the LTO lattice plane. Consequently, LTO transformed from nanosheets to nanoparticles. SEM data proved that the structure of LTO/NSC nanoparticles was more stable than that of LTO nanosheets after hundreds of charge/discharge process. The N,S co-doped carbon layer can moderate particle aggregation and may help to shorten the electron transport length and enhance lithium storage capacity. The structural superiority and the N,S co-doped carbon layer endows LTO/NSC particles with high reversible specific capacity (183 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C), significantly enhanced rate capability (122 mA h g-1 at 10 C) and excellent cycling stability (capacity retention of 96.3 % after 200 cycles) relative to these features of LTO nanosheets. Thus, LTO/NSC is a promising anode material for high-performance lithium ion batteries.

Abstract
Cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer plays an essential role in determining the electrochemical performance of Li-ion batteries (LIBs), but the detailed mechanisms of CEI formation and evolution are not yet fully understood. With the pursuit of LIBs possessing a high energy density, fundamental investigations on the CEI have become increasingly important. Herein, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is employed to fingerprint CEI formation and evolution on three of the most prevailing high-voltage cathodes including layered Li1.144Ni0.136Co0.136Mn0.544O2 (LR-NCM), Li2Ru0.5Mn0.5O3 (LRMO), and spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO). The influences of crystal structure, chemical constitution and cut-off voltage on CEI composition are clarified. Among these cathodes, the spinel cathode exhibits the most stable CEI layer throughout the battery cycle. While the layered cathodes based on the 4d transition metal Ru favor CEI formation upon contacting the electrolyte. Most importantly, anionic redox reaction (ARR) activation at high voltages is verified to dominate CEI evolution in subsequent cycles. The distinct CEI behaviors in diverse cathodes can be attributed to a series of entangled processes, including electrolyte/Li salt decomposition, CEI component dissociation and dissociated CEI species redeposition. Based on these findings, rational guidelines are provided for the interface design of high-voltage LIBs.

Abstract
With the growing demand for high energy and high power density rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, increasing research is focused on improving the output voltage of these batteries. Herein, a series of pyrrolidinium and piperidinium cations with various N-substituents (including cyanomethyl, benzyl, butyl, hexyl, and octyl groups) were synthesized and investigated with respect to their electrochemical stability under high voltages. The influence of substitutions at the N-position of pyrrolidinium and piperidinium cations on their high-voltage resistance was studied by both theoretical and experimental approaches. The voltage resistance was enhanced as the electron-donating ability of the substitutes increased. Furthermore, 1-hexyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([C6Py][TFSI]) exhibited the highest decomposition voltage at approximately 5.12 V and showed promising potential in a lithium-ion battery.

Abstract
High-voltage polymer electrolytes play important roles in achieving high-energy-density polymer electrolyte-based batteries, but the pace of progress moves slowly, since oxidation-resistant polymer electrolytes at high voltages are rarely obtained. Herein, we reported a nonflammable and high-voltage-tolerated polymer electrolyte (HVTPE) with extended voltage of 5.5 V. The obtained HVTPE has lower HOMO energy indicating a higher antioxidation ability, which avoids the decomposition and depletion of electrolyte near the cathode. Significantly, the HVTPE-based 4.45 V-class LiCoO2 battery delivered a high capacity of 173.2 mA h g-1 at 0.05 C. Using 4.9 V-class LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 as a cathode, the battery exhibited stable cycling performance. Moreover, HVTPE showed a high modulus of 2.3 GPa, which can efficiently restrain the penetration of Li dendrites, and desirable nonflammable feature, leading to the enhanced safety based on polymer electrolytes. The current work opens new avenues to realize high-voltage polymer electrolyte-based batteries with high safety.

Abstract
Layered lithium-rich nickel manganese cobalt oxide (LR-NMC) represents one of the most promising cathode materials for application in high energy density lithium-ion batteries. The extraordinary capacity delivered derives from a combination of both cationic and anionic redox processes. However, the latter ones lead to oxygen evolution which triggers structural degradation and electrode/electrolyte interface (EEI) instability that hinders the use of LR-NMC in practical application. In this work, we investigate the surface chemistry of LR-NMC and its evolution upon different conditions to give further insights into the processes occurring at the EEI. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies reveal that once the organic component of the layer is formed, it remains stable independently on the higher cutoff voltage applied, while continuous growth of inorganics along with oxygen evolution occurs. The results performed on lithiated and delithiated LR-NMC surfaces indicate an instability of the EEI layer formed at high voltages, which undergoes a partial decomposition. Furthermore, the tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane electrolyte additive simultaneously prevents excess LiF formation and changes the chemical composition of the EEI layer. The latter is characterized by a higher amount of poly(ethylene oxide) oligomer species and LixPOyFz formation. In addition, the presence of boron-containing compounds in the EEI layer cannot be excluded, which may be also responsible of the increased thickness of the EEI layer. Finally, fast kinetics at elevated temperatures exacerbate the salt decomposition which results in the formation of an EEI which is thicker and richer in LiF.

Abstract
Supercapacitors are a very active research topic. However, liquid electrolytes present several drawbacks on security and packaging. Herein, a gel polymer electrolyte was prepared based on crosslinked renewable and environmentally friendly soybean protein isolate (SPI) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) with 1.0 mol L−1 Li2SO4. Highly hydrophilic SPI and HEC guaranteed a high ionic conductivity of 8.40 × 10−3 S cm−1. The fabricated solid-state supercapacitor with prepared gel polymer electrolyte exhibited a good electrochemical performance, that is, a high single electrode gravimetric capacitance of 91.79 F g−1 and an energy density of 7.17 W h kg−1 at a current density of 5.0 A g−1. The fabricated supercapacitor exhibited a flexible performance under bending condition superior to liquid supercapacitor and similar electrochemical performance at various bending angles. In addition, it was proved by an almost 100% cycling retention and a coulombic efficiency over 5000 charge–discharge cycles. For comparison, supercapacitors assembled with commercial aqueous PP/PE separator, pure SPI membrane, and crosslinked SPI membrane were also characterized. The obtained gel polymer electrolyte based on crosslinked SPI and HEC may be useful for the design of advanced polymer electrolytes for energy devices.

Abstract
The electrochemical performance of ionic liquid electrolytes containing different sodium salts dissolved in 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BMPTFSI) evaluated in a half-cell configuration using spherical P2-Na0.6Co0.1Mn0.9O2+z (NCO) cathodes are reported. Among the various electrolytes investigated, sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (NaFSI) (0.5 M) in BMPTFSI shows the best electrochemical performance with a significant improvement in cycling stability (90% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 50 mA g-1 in a half cell versus Na metal anode) compared with conventional NaClO4 (1 M) in ethylene carbonate/propylene carbonate electrolytes (39% retention after 500 cycles). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies reveal that ionic liquid electrolytes are stable up to 4.8 V versus Na/Na+. When NaFSI and NaTFSI are used as conducting salts, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results prove that the cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) is composed of components resulting from the decomposition of the TFSI anion and the deposition of the BMP cation. On the other hand, the CEI layer of the electrode cycled in an electrolyte containing NaClO4 in BMPTFSI follows a different pathway of TFSI decomposition and consists mainly of sodium fluoride. Similarly, plating studies were used to understand the stability of different ionic liquids in contact with metallic sodium. It was found that the excellent capacity retention for the electrolyte consisting of NaFSI salt is related to the formation of a stable CEI and solid electrolyte interphase layers.

Abstract
The search for higher performance, improved safety, and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries relies on the understanding of degradation mechanisms. Complementary to methods and studies on primary particles or crystalline structure on bulk materials, here we use spatially correlated ptychographic X-ray computed nanotomography with a 35 nm resolution and scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy with 1 μm resolution to visualize in 3D the hidden morphological and structural degradation processes in individual secondary particles of lithium-rich nickel, cobalt, and manganese oxides. From comparative examination of pristine and cycled particles, we suggest that morphological degradation could have radial dependency and secondary particle size dependency. The same particles were examined to correlate the degradation to crystallinity, which shows surprising core-shell structures. This study reveals the inner 3D structure of the secondary particles while opening up questions on the unexpected crystalline structural distributions, which could offer clues for future studies on this promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.
