Abstract
The solar cell has been considered one of the safest modes for electricity generation. In a dye-sensitized solar cell, a commonly used iodide/triiodide redox mediator inhibits back-electron transfer reactions, regenerates dyes, and reduces triiodide into iodide. The use of iodide/triiodide redox, however, imposes several problems and hence needs to be replaced by alternative redox. This paper reports the first Co2+/Co3+ solid redox mediators, prepared using [(1−x)succinonitrile: xPEO] as a matrix and LiTFSI, Co(bpy)3(TFSI)2, and Co(bpy)3(TFSI)3 as sources of ions. The electrolytes are referred to as SN_E (x = 0), Blend 1_E (x = 0.5 with the ethereal oxygen of the PEO-to-lithium ion molar ratio (EO/Li+) of 113), Blend 2_E (x = 0.5; EO/Li+ = 226), and PEO_E (x = 1; EO/Li+ = 226), which achieved electrical conductivity of 2.1 × 10−3, 4.3 × 10−4, 7.2 × 10−4, and 9.7 × 10−7 S cm−1, respectively at 25 °C. Only the blend-based polymer electrolytes exhibited the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher-type behavior (vitreous nature) with a required low pseudo-activation energy (0.05 eV), thermal stability up to 125 °C, and transparency in UV-A, visible, and near-infrared regions. FT-IR spectroscopy demonstrated the interaction between salt and matrix in the following order: SN_E < Blend 2_E < Blend 1_E << PEO_E. The results were compared with those of acetonitrile-based liquid electrolyte, ACN_E.

Abstract
Cost-effective and sustainable battery materials for large-scale batteries are the need of the hour to garner renewable energy with high-performance metal battery technologies. Here, we report the high-performance and long cycle life electrolyte prepared from low-cost triethylamine hydrochloride (Et3NHCl) and aluminum chloride (AlCl3) termed as (TA) with different concentrations of magnesium diethylphosphate (Mg(DEP)2) salt. The optimized ratio of the 0.1 M Mg(DEP)2 electrolyte has shown a high ionic conductivity of 4.5 × 10-3 S cm-1 at ambient temperature and good anodic stability of 2.41 V vs. Mg/Mg2+. The dissolution/deposition of magnesium (Mg) on a Pt working electrode was systematically analyzed in this electrolyte. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the Mg-graphite battery was used to probe the intercalation/de-intercalation of Mg-AlCl4- ions into/from the graphite layer structure. This was confirmed by various analytical techniques, such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction technique and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Notably, during the galvanostatic study analysis, the assembled Mg cell delivered a high discharge capacity of 115 mA h g-1 at a high C/10 rate, with more than 180 cycles at >80% coulombic efficiency. This electrolyte will be helpful in grid-scale power storage systems in future generations.

Abstract
The diversification of current forms of energy storage and the reduction of fossil fuel consumption are issues of high importance for reducing environmental pollution. Zinc and magnesium are multivalent ions suitable for the development of environmentally friendly rechargeable batteries. Nanocomposite polymer electrolytes (NCPEs) are currently being researched as part of electrochemical devices because of the advantages of dispersed fillers. This article aims to review and compile the trends of different types of the latest NCPEs. It briefly summarizes the desirable properties the electrolytes should possess to be considered for later uses. The first section is devoted to NCPEs composed of poly(vinylidene Fluoride-co-Hexafluoropropylene). The second section centers its attention on discussing the electrolytes composed of poly(ethylene oxide). The third section reviews the studies of NCPEs based on different synthetic polymers. The fourth section discusses the results of electrolytes based on biopolymers. The addition of nanofillers improves both the mechanical performance and the ionic conductivity; key points to be explored in the production of batteries. These results set an essential path for upcoming studies in the field. These attempts need to be further developed to get practical applications for industry in large-scale polymer-based electrolyte batteries.

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.

Abstract
Poly(glycidyl ether)s having trifluoromethanesulfonylimide or imidazolium pendant groups are synthesized by thiol-ene reactions. The precise synthesis of a precursor polymer, poly(allyl glycidyl ether), and the following click reactions enable the facile preparation of the polyelectrolytes with the controlled length of main and side chains. The low glass transition temperature (<<0 °C) of the polyethers is beneficial to provide a conductivity as high as 10-6 S cm-1 at room temperature, without compositing any additives. The synthetic approach has advantages of clearly comparing the structural effects of the introduced functional groups and facilely preparing the comprehensive types of polymers.
