Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are still plagued with low ionic conductivity and inferior interfacial contact, which hinder their practical implementation. Herein, a quasi-solid-state composite electrolyte, poly(1,3-dioxolane) (PDOL)/glassy ZIF-62 (PGZ) with fast ion transport and intimate interface contact, is fabricated via in situ polymerization. The in situ polymerization of DOL in an electrolyte matrix not only improves the exterior interface between electrolyte/electrode but also optimizes the inner interfaces among glassy particles, rendering PGZ as an uninterrupted ionic conductor. Moreover, PGZ inherits the superior ionic conductivity and the robust dendrite prohibition of glassy MOFs originating from their grain-boundary-free nature, isotropy, and abundant groups containing N species. As expected, our proposed PGZ exhibits a prominent ionic conductivity of 6.3 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 20 °C. Li|PGZ|LiFePO4 delivers an outstanding rate performance (103 mAh g-1 at 4C) and a stable cycling capacity (118 mAh g-1 at 1C over 1000 cycles). PGZ also presents excellent low-temperature cycling performance with 75 mAh g-1 for 480 cycles at -20 °C and excellent flame retardance. Even at a high loading of 12.1 mg cm-2, it can still discharge at 140 mAh g-1 for 100 cycles. Hence, PGZ prepared via in situ polymerization holds enormous prospects as a solid-state electrolyte for high-performance and safe LMBs.

Abstract
The safety concerns surrounding lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have garnered increasing attention due to their potential to endanger lives and incur significant financial losses. However, the origins of battery failures are diverse, presenting significant challenges in developing safety measures to mitigate accidental catastrophes. In this study, the aging mechanism of LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2||graphite-based cylindrical 18,650 LIBs stored at room temperature for two years was investigated. It was found that an uneven distribution of electrolytes can be caused by gravity, leading to temperature variations within the battery. Specifically, it was observed that the temperature at the top of the battery was approximately -0.89 °C higher than at the bottom, correlating with an increase in partial internal resistance. Additionally, upon disassembly and analysis of spent batteries, the most significant damage to electrode materials at the top of the battery was observed. These findings suggest that gravity-induced electrolyte insufficiency exacerbates side reactions, particularly at the top of the battery. This study offers a unique perspective on the safety concerns associated with high-energy-density batteries in long-term and large-scale applications.

Abstract
The application of composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) in solid-state lithium-metal batteries is limited by the unsatisfactory ionic conductivity underpinned by the low concentration of free lithium ions. Herein, we propose an interface design strategy where an amine silane linker is employed as a coupling agent to graft the Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) ceramic nanofibers to the poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) polymer matrix to enhance their interaction. The hydrogen bonding between amino-functionalized LLZO (NH2@LLZO) and PVDF-HFP not only effectively induces a uniform incorporation of high-content nanofibers (50 wt %) into the polymer matrix but also furnishes sufficient continuous surfaces to weaken the complexation between PVDF-HFP and Li-ion carriers. Additionally, introduction of the hydrogen bond and Lewis acid-base interplay strengthens the interfacial interactions between NH2@LLZO and lithium salts that release more free lithium ions for efficient interfacial transport. The impact of the linker's structure on the dissociation capacity of lithium salts is systematically studied from the steric effect perspective, which affords insights into interface design. Conclusively, the composite solid electrolyte achieves a high ionic conductivity (5.8 × 10-4 S cm-1) by synergy of multiple transport channels at ceramic, polymer, and their interface, which effectively regulates the lithium deposition behavior in symmetric cells. The excellent compatibility of the electrolyte with both LiFePO4 and LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathodes also results in a long lifetime and a high rate capability for full cells.

Abstract
All-solid lithium (Li) metal batteries (ASSLBs) with sulfide-based solid electrolyte (SEs) films exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, rendering them capable of satisfying the growing demand for energy storage systems. However, challenges persist in the application of SEs film owing to their reactivity with Li metal and uncontrolled formation of lithium dendrites. In this study, iodine-doped poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) as an interlayer (PHI) to establish a stable interphase between Li metal and Li6PS5Cl (LPSCl) films is investigated. The release of I ions and PVDF-HFP produces LiI and LiF, effectively suppressing lithium dendrite growth. Density functional theory calculations show that the synthesized interlayer layer exhibits high interfacial energy. Results show that the PHI@Li/LPSCl film/PHI@Li symmetrical cells can cycle for more than 650 h at 0.1 mA cm-2. The PHI@Li/LPSCl film/NCM622 cell exhibits a distinct enhancement in capacity retention of ≈26% when using LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NCM622) as the cathode, compared to pristine Li metal as the anode. This study presents a feasible method for producing next-generation dendrite-free SEs films, promoting their practical use in ASSLBs.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) show great promise in terms of high-energy-density and high-safety performance. However, there is an urgent need to address the compatibility of electrolytes with high-voltage cathodes/Li anodes, and to minimize the electrolyte thickness to achieve high-energy-density of SSLMBs. Herein, we develop an ultrathin (12.6 µm) asymmetric composite solid-state electrolyte with ultralight areal density (1.69 mg cm-2) for SSLMBs. The electrolyte combining a garnet (LLZO) layer and a metal organic framework (MOF) layer, which are fabricated on both sides of the polyethylene (PE) separator separately by tape casting. The PE separator endows the electrolyte with flexibility and excellent mechanical properties. The LLZO layer on the cathode side ensures high chemical stability at high voltage. The MOF layer on the anode side achieves a stable electric field and uniform Li flux, thus promoting uniform Li+ deposition. Thanks to the well-designed structure, the Li symmetric battery exhibits an ultralong cycle life (5000 h), and high-voltage SSLMBs achieve stable cycle performance. The assembled pouch cells provided a gravimetric/volume energy density of 344.0 Wh kg-1/773.1 Wh L-1. This simple operation allows for large-scale preparation, and the design concept of ultrathin asymmetric structure also reveals the future development direction of SSLMBs.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) are highly promising as next-generation energy storage devices owing to their potential for great safety and high energy density. This work demonstrates that composite solid polymer electrolyte with vertically-aligned card-house structure can simultaneously improve the high rate and long-term cycling performance of ASSLBs. The vertical alignment of laponite nanosheets creates fast and uniform Li+ ion transport channels at the nanosheets/polymer interphase, resulting in high ionic conductivity of 8.9 × 10-4 S cm-1 and Li+ transference number of 0.32 at 60 °C, as well as uniformly distributed solid electrolyte interphase. Such electrolyte is characterized by high mechanical strength, low flammability, excellent structural stability and stable ion transport channels. In addition, the ASSLB cell with the electrolyte and LiFePO4 cathode delivers a high discharge specific capacity of 124.8 mAh g-1 , which accounts for 85.6% of its initial capacity after 500 cycles at 1C. The reasonable design through structural control strategy by interconnecting the vertically-aligned nanosheets open a way to fabricate high performance composite solid polymer electrolytes.

Abstract
Polymer solid-state lithium batteries (SSLB) are regarded as a promising energy storage technology to meet growing demand due to their high energy density and safety. Ion conductivity, interface stability and battery assembly process are still the main challenges to hurdle the commercialization of SSLB. As the main component of SSLB, poly(1,3-dioxolane) (PDOL)-based solid polymer electrolytes polymerized in-situ are becoming a promising candidate solid electrolyte, for their high ion conductivity at room temperature, good battery electrochemical performances, and simple assembly process. This review analyzes opportunities and challenges of PDOL electrolytes toward practical application for polymer SSLB. The focuses include exploring the polymerization mechanism of DOL, the performance of PDOL composite electrolytes, and the application of PDOL. Furthermore, we provide a perspective on future research directions that need to be emphasized for commercialization of PDOL-based electrolytes in SSLB. The exploration of these schemes facilitates a comprehensive and profound understanding of PDOL-based polymer electrolyte and provides new research ideas to boost them toward practical application in solid-state batteries.

Abstract
The pursuit of safer and high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has triggered extensive research activities on solid-state batteries, while challenges related to the unstable electrode-electrolyte interface hinder their practical implementation. Polymer has been used extensively to improve the cathode-electrolyte interface in garnet-based all-solid-state LIBs (ASSLBs), while it introduces new concerns about thermal stability. In this study, we propose the incorporation of a multi-functional flame-retardant triphenyl phosphate additive into poly(ethylene oxide), acting as a thin buffer layer between LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cathode and garnet electrolyte. Through electrochemical stability tests, cycling performance evaluations, interfacial thermal stability analysis and flammability tests, improved thermal stability (capacity retention of 98.5% after 100 cycles at 60 °C, and 89.6% after 50 cycles at 80 °C) and safety characteristics (safe and stable cycling up to 100 °C) are demonstrated. Based on various materials characterizations, the mechanism for the improved thermal stability of the interface is proposed. The results highlight the potential of multi-functional flame-retardant additives to address the challenges associated with the electrode-electrolyte interface in ASSLBs at high temperature. Efficient thermal modification in ASSLBs operating at elevated temperatures is also essential for enabling large-scale energy storage with safety being the primary concern.

Abstract
Recently, the topological insulator MnBi2Te4 has aroused great attention owing to its exotic quantum phenomena and intriguing device applications, but the superior performances of MnBi2Te4 have not been researched in the field of electrochemistry. By theoretical calculations, it is found that MnBi2Te4 exhibits excellent Zn2+ storage and transport properties. Therefore, it is speculated that MnBi2Te4 has excellent electrochemical performance in zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). In this research, MnBi2Te4 as a pioneer has been explored in ZIBs, showing surprising electrochemical properties. The MnBi2Te4 electrode displays a high average discharge specific capacity (264.8 mA h g-1 at 0.40 A g-1), a competitive cycle life (88.6% of initial capacity after 400 cycles at 4.00 A g-1), and an excellent rate performance (average capacity retention rate of 95.1% from 0.40 to 8.00 A g-1) owing to the fast ion transport of the conductive topological surface state and dissipationless channel of the edge state. Surprisingly, the quasi-solid-state (QSS) MnBi2Te4/Zn battery delivers excellent Zn2+ storage capability and possesses a capacity retention of 79.9% after 1000 cycles at 4.00 A g-1. In addition, the QSS MnBi2Te4/Zn battery can exhibit excellent performance and the GCD curves maintain stability without distortion deformation even at temperatures of 0 and 75 °C.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are considered to be one of the most promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems due to the high safety, high energy density and wide operating temperature range of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) they use. Unfortunately, the practical application of SSEs has rarely been successful, which is largely attributed to the low chemical stability and ionic conductivity, ineluctable solid-solid interface issues including limited ion transport channels, high energy barriers, and poor interface contact. A comprehensive understanding of ion transport mechanisms of various SSEs, interactions between fillers and polymer matrixes and the role of the interface in SSBs are indispensable for rational design and performance optimization of novel electrolytes. The categories, research advances and ion transport mechanism of inorganic glass/ceramic electrolytes, polymer-based electrolytes and corresponding composite electrolytes are detailly summarized and discussed. Moreover, interface contact and compatibility between electrolyte and cathode/anode are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
To satisfy the demand for high safety and energy density in energy storage devices, all-solid-state lithium metal batteries with solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) replacing traditional liquid electrolytes and separators have been proposed and are increasingly regarded as one of the most promising candidates as next-generation energy storage systems. In this study, poly(vinylidene fluoride)-hexafluoropropylene/lignosulfonic acid (PVDF-HFP/LSA) composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) membranes with a micro area interface wetting structure were successfully prepared by incorporating LSA into the PVDF-HFP polymer matrix. The enhanced interaction between the polar functional group in LSA and the C═O in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) hinders the evaporation of solvent NMP, thus creating a micro area wetting structure, which offers a flexible region for the chain segment movement and enlarging the area of the amorphous zone in PVDF-HFP. From the results of IR and Raman spectroscopy, it was found that the presence of LSA induced unique ion transport channels created by the massive aggregated ion pair (AGG) and contact ion pair (CIP) of ion cluster structures composed of Li+ and multiple TFSI- and, at the same time, effectively reduced the crystallinity of the polymer electrolyte, hence further contributing to the Li+ diffusion. As a result, at a rate of 2 C, the Li|CPE-15|LiFePO4 solid-state battery delivers an initial discharge-specific capacity of 134.9 mAh g-1 and maintains stability with a retention of 84% during 400 charge-discharge cycles while the Li|CPE-0|LiFePO4 battery fails after only a few cycles at the same rate.

Abstract
Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) have emerged as promising candidates for safe and high-energy-density solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs). However, concurrently achieving exceptional ionic conductivity and interface compatibility between the electrolyte and electrode presents a significant challenge in the development of high-performance CSEs for SSLMBs. To overcome these challenges, we present a method involving the in-situ polymerization of a monomer within a self-supported porous Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZT) to produce the CSE. The synergy of the continuous conductive LLZT network, well-organized polymer, and their interface can enhance the ionic conductivity of the CSE at room temperature. Furthermore, the in-situ polymerization process can also construct the integration and compatibility of the solid electrolyte-solid electrode interface. The synthesized CSE exhibited a high ionic conductivity of 1.117 mS cm-1, a significant lithium transference number of 0.627, and exhibited electrochemical stability up to 5.06 V vs. Li/Li+ at 30 °C. Moreover, the Li|CSE|LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cell delivered a discharge capacity of 105.1 mAh g-1 after 400 cycles at 0.5 C and 30 °C, corresponding to a capacity retention of 61%. This methodology could be extended to a variety of ceramic, polymer electrolytes, or battery systems, thereby offering a viable strategy to improve the electrochemical properties of CSEs for high-energy-density SSLMBs.

Abstract
The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries has been driven by the proliferation of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, which have increasingly stringent energy density requirements. Lithium metal batteries (LMBs), with their ultralow reduction potential and high theoretical capacity, are widely regarded as the most promising technical pathway for achieving high energy density batteries. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of fundamental issues related to high reactivity and migrated interfaces in LMBs. Furthermore, we propose improved strategies involving interface engineering, 3D current collector design, electrolyte optimization, separator modification, application of alloyed anodes, and external field regulation to address these challenges. The utilization of solid-state electrolytes can significantly enhance the safety of LMBs and represents the only viable approach for advancing them. This review also encompasses the variation in fundamental issues and design strategies for the transition from liquid to solid electrolytes. Particularly noteworthy is that the introduction of SSEs will exacerbate differences in electrochemical and mechanical properties at the interface, leading to increased interface inhomogeneity-a critical factor contributing to failure in all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. Based on recent research works, this perspective highlights the current status of research on developing high-performance LMBs.

Abstract
Li metal anode has attracted extensive attention as the state-of-the-art anode material for rechargeable batteries. It is defined as the ultimate anode material for the high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh g-1 ) and the lowest negative electrochemical potential (-3.04 V vs. Standard Hydrogen Electrode). However, the uncontrolled Li dendrites and the spontaneous side reactions between Li and electrolytes hinder its commercialization. To overcome these obstacles, the optimized solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with excellent performance was proposed by the artificial method. The improved performance includes high stability, ionic conductivity, compactness, and flexibility. In this review, the strategies for artificial SEI engineering in liquid and solid electrolytes are summarized. To fabricate an ideal artificial SEI, the component, distribution, and structure should be fully and reasonably considered. This review will also provide perspectives for the SEI design and lay a foundation for the future research and development of Li metal batteries.

Abstract
Li-S batteries with high energy density have the potential to become a viable alternative to Li-ion batteries. However, Li-S batteries still face several challenges, including the shuttle effect, low conversion kinetics, and Li dendrite growth. Natural clay minerals with porous structures, abundant Lewis-acid sites, high mechanical modulus, and versatile structural regulation show great potential for improving the performance of Li-S batteries. However, so far, relevant reviews focusing on the applications of natural clay minerals in Li-S batteries are still missing. To fill the gap, this review first presents an overview of the crystal structures of several natural clay minerals, including 1D (halloysites, attapulgites, and sepiolite), 2D (montmorillonite and vermiculite), and 3D (diatomite) structures, providing a theoretical basis for the application of natural clay minerals in Li-S batteries. Subsequently, research advancements in the natural clay-based energy materials in Li-S batteries have been comprehensively reviewed. Finally, the perspectives concerning the development of natural clay minerals and their applications in Li-S batteries are provided. We hope this review can provide timely and comprehensive information on the correlation between the structure and function of natural clay minerals in Li-S batteries and offer guidance for material selection and structure optimization of natural clay-based energy materials.

Abstract
Composite electrolytes have been regarded as the most prospective electrolytes for commercial application because they acquire the advantages of both polymer and inorganic electrolytes, commonly exhibiting appreciated flexibility and suitable ionic conductivity. Nevertheless, the conventional solution-casting method with toxic solvent and poor interfacial contact still hamper their commercialization process. Moreover, electrolytes with higher ionic conductivity and transference number are urgently needed for satisfying fast-charging batteries. Herein, a novel composite electrolyte (LZEC) reinforced by mechanically robust LLZTO nanoparticles and flexible cellulose mesh was fabricated by a simple and advanced in situ thermal polymerization method, with adding of highly ion-conductive liquid plasticizer. Consequently, the rationally designed LZEC composite electrolyte exhibits superior flexibility and remarkable electrochemical properties in the form of high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical stability window, and high Li+ transference number. Importantly, the in situ synthesis method is expected to help construct an enhanced electrolyte/electrode interface inside the battery, and the LZEC composite electrolyte is capable of suppressing Li dendrite growth effectively, as evidenced by the prolonged stable cycling of the Li/Li symmetric cell. Therefore, the LFP/LZEC/Li full cell exhibits superior rate performance and long cyclic life. These attractive properties make LZEC a potential composite electrolyte for boosting the practical application of safe and long-life Li metal batteries.

Abstract
There has been increasing demand for high-energy density and long-cycle life rechargeable batteries to satisfy the ever-growing requirements for next-generation energy storage systems. Among all available candidates, dual-ion batteries (DIBs) have drawn tremendous attention in the past few years from both academic and industrial battery communities because of their fascinating advantages of high working voltage, excellent safety, and environmental friendliness. However, the dynamic imbalance between the electrodes and the mismatch of traditional electrolyte systems remain elusive. To fully employ the advantages of DIBs, the overall optimization of anode materials, cathode materials, and compatible electrolyte systems is urgently needed. Here, we review the development history and the reaction mechanisms involved in DIBs. Afterward, the optimization strategies toward DIB materials and electrolytes are highlighted.
