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.

Mitigating Gas Evolution in Electron Beam-Induced Gel Polymer Electrolytes Through Bi-Functional Cross-Linkable Additives. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2401426.

Abstract
The current high-capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), reliant on flammable liquid electrolytes (LEs) and nickel-rich cathodes, are plagued by safety hazards, especially the risk of hazardous gas release stemming from internal side reactions. To address these safety concerns, an electron beam (E-beam)-induced gel polymer electrolyte (E-Gel) is introduced, employing dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate (DPH) as a bi-functional cross-linkable additive (CIA). The dual roles of DPH are exploited through a strategically designed E-beam irradiation process. Applying E-beam irradiation on the pre-cycled cells allows DPH to function as an additive during the initial cycle, establishing a protective layer on the surface of the anode and cathode and as a cross-linker during the E-beam irradiation step, forming a polymer framework. The prepared E-Gel with CIA has superior interfacial compatibility, facilitating lithium-ion diffusion at the electrode/E-Gel interface. The electrochemical assessment of 1.2 Ah pouch cells demonstrates that E-Gel substantially reduces gas release by 2.5 times compared to commercial LEs during the initial formation stage and ensures superior reversible capacity retention even after prolonged cycling at 55 °C. The research underscores the synergy of bifunctional CIA with E-beam technology, paving the way for large-scale production of safe, high-capacity, and commercially viable LIBs.

Abstract
A solid polymer electrolyte has been developed and employed in lithium-metal batteries of relevant interest. The material includes crystalline poly(ethylene glycol)dimethyl ether (PEGDME), LiTFSI and LiNO3 salts, and a SiO2 ceramic filler. The electrolyte shows ionic conductivity more than 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature and approaching 10-3 S cm-1 at 60 °C, a Li+ -transference number exceeding 0.3, electrochemical stability from 0 to 4.4 V vs. Li+ /Li, lithium stripping/deposition overvoltage below 0.08 V, and electrode/electrolyte interphase resistance of 400 Ω. Thermogravimetry indicates that the electrolyte stands up to 200 °C without significant weight loss, while FTIR spectroscopy suggests that the LiTFSI conducting salt dissolves in the polymer. The electrolyte is used in solid-state cells with various cathodes, including LiFePO4 olivine exploiting the Li-insertion, sulfur-carbon composite operating through Li conversion, and an oxygen electrode in which reduction and evolution reactions (i. e., ORR/OER) evolve on a carbon-coated gas diffusion layer (GDL). The cells operate reversibly at room temperature with a capacity of 140 mA h g-1 at 3.4 V for LiFePO4 , 400 mA h g-1 at 2 V for sulfur electrode, and 500 mA h g-1 at 2.5 V for oxygen. The results suggest that the electrolyte could be applied in room-temperature solid polymer cells.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the synthesis of the first boron nitride-doped polyphenylenic material obtained through a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between a triethynyl borazine unit and a biscyclopentadienone derivative, which undergoes organogel formation in chlorinated solvents (the critical jellification concentration is 4% w/w in CHCl3). The polymer has been characterized extensively by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, solid-state 13C NMR, solid-state 11B NMR, and by comparison with the isolated monomeric unit. Furthermore, the polymer gels formed in chlorinated solvents have been thoroughly characterized and studied, showing rheological properties comparable to those of polyacrylamide gels with a low crosslinker percentage. Given the thermal and chemical stability, the material was studied as a potential support for solid-state electrolytes. showing properties comparable to those of polyethylene glycol-based electrolytes, thus presenting great potential for the application of this new class of material in lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The application of rechargeable lithium batteries involves all aspects of our daily life, such as new energy vehicles, computers, watches and other electronic mobile devices, so it is becoming more and more important in contemporary society. However, commercial liquid rechargeable lithium batteries have safety hazards such as leakage or explosion, all-solid-state lithium rechargeable lithium batteries will become the best alternatives. But the biggest challenge we face at present is the large solid-solid interface contact resistance between the solid electrolyte and the electrode as well as the low ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte. Due to the large relative molecular mass, polymers usually exhibit solid or gel state with good mechanical strength. The intermolecules are connected by covalent bonds, so that the chemical and physical stability, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and fire resistance are good. Many researchers have found that polymers play an important role in improving the performance of all-solid-state lithium rechargeable batteries. This review mainly describes the application of polymers in the fields of electrodes, electrolytes, electrolyte-electrode contact interfaces, and electrode binders in all-solid-state lithium rechargeable batteries, and how to improve battery performance. This review mainly introduces the recent applications of polymers in solid-state lithium battery electrodes, electrolytes, electrode binders, etc., and describes the performance of emerging porous polymer materials and materials based on traditional polymers in solid-state lithium batteries. The comparative analysis shows the application advantages and disadvantages of the emerging porous polymer materials in this field which provides valuable reference information for further development.

Abstract
Based on the advantages of intrinsic safety, flexibility, and good interfacial contact with electrodes, a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is a promising electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries, compared with the conventional liquid electrolyte. However, the unstable electrochemical performance and the liquid state in a microscale limit the commercial application of GPE. Herein, we developed a novel gel polymer electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries by blending methyl methacrylate (MMA), N-butyl-N-methyl-piperidinium (Pyr14TFSI), and lithium salts in a solvent-free procedure, with SiO2 and Li0.33La0.56TiO3 (LLTO) additives. The prepared MMA-Pyr14TFSI-3 wt % LLTO electrolyte shows the best electrochemical performance and obtains a high ion conductivity of 4.51 × 10-3 S cm-1 at a temperature of 60 °C. Notably, the electrochemical window could be stable up to 5.0 V vs Li+/Li. Moreover, the batteries with the GPE also show excellent electrochemical performance. In the LiFePO4/MMA-Pyr14TFSI-3 wt % LLTO/Li cell, a high initial discharge capacity was achieved 150 mA h g-1 at 0.5C with a Coulombic efficiency over 99% and maintaining a good capacity retention of 90.7% after 100 cycles at 0.5C under 60 °C. In addition, the physical properties of the GPE have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry (TG).

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries have gained significant attention as promising candidates to replace liquid electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries for high safety, energy storage performance, and stability under elevated temperature conditions. However, the low ionic conductivity and unsuitability of lithium metal in solid polymer electrolytes is a critical problem. To resolve this, we used a cubic garnet oxide electrolyte (Li7La3Zr2O12 - LLZO) and ionic liquid in combination with a polymer electrolyte to produce a composite electrolyte membrane. By applying a solid polymer electrolyte on symmetric stainless steel, the composite electrolyte membrane shows high ionic conductivity at elevated temperatures. The effect of LLZO in suppressing lithium dendrite growth within the composite electrolyte was confirmed through symmetric lithium stripping/plating tests under various current densities showing small polarization voltages. The full cell with lithium iron phosphate as the cathode active material achieved a highest specific capacity of 137.4 mAh g-1 and a high capacity retention of 98.47% after 100 cycles at a current density of 50 mA g-1 and a temperature of 60°C. Moreover, the specific discharge capacities were 137 and 100.8 mAh g-1 at current densities of 100 and 200 mA g-1, respectively. This research highlights the capability of solid polymer electrolytes to suppress the evolution of lithium dendrites and enhance the performance of all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Use of redox mediators (RMs) is an effective strategy to enhance reaction kinetics of multi-electron sulfur electrochemistry. However, the soluble small-molecule RMs usually aggravate the internal shuttle and thus further reduce the battery efficiency and cyclability. A semi-immobilization strategy is now proposed for RM design to effectively regulate the sulfur electrochemistry while circumvent the inherent shuttle issue in a working battery. Small imide molecules as the model RMs were co-polymerized with moderate-chained polyether, rendering a semi-immobilized RM (PIPE) that is spatially restrained yet kinetically active. A small amount of PIPE (5 % in cathode) extended the cyclability of sulfur cathode from 37 to 190 cycles with 80 % capacity retention at 0.5 C. The semi-immobilization strategy helps to understand RM-assisted sulfur electrochemistry in alkali metal batteries and enlightens the chemical design of active additives for advanced electrochemical energy storage devices.

Abstract
Solid electrolytes are of high interest for the development of advanced electrochemical energy storage devices with all-solid-state architectures. Here, we report the fabrication of the electrolyte membranes based on LiTFSI (LiN(CF3SO2)2) and PEO–PVDF blends with improved properties. We show that addition of PVDF enables preparation of free-standing films of the compositions within the so called “crystallinity gap” of the LiTFSI–PEO system known to provide high ion conductivity. We show that optimal PVDF content enables preparation of the films with reasonable elastic modulus and high ionic conductivity of about 0.3 mS cm−1 at 60 °C and about 0.1 mS cm−1 at room-temperature. Combining FTIR spectroscopy, XRD and DSC measurements we show that a noticeable fraction of PVDF remains crystalline and enhances the mechanical properties of the material, and at the same time it additionally promotes LiTFSI dissociation and disordering. Density functional theory calculations showed that the Li+–PEO–PVDF complexation energy magnitude is almost as high as that of Li–PEO complexes, thus the salt dissociation ability can be retained in spite of the introduction of the substantial amounts of PVDF required for mechanical stability. Addition of PVDF to LiTFSI–PEO solid electrolytes enables preparation of free-standing films with the compositions within the so called “crystallinity gap” of LiTFSI–PEO system. Such films possess ionic conductivity of about 0.3 mS cm−1 at 60 °C.![]()

Abstract
Solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (SSLSBs) with high energy densities and high safety have been considered among the most promising energy storage devices to meet the demanding market requirements for electric vehicles. However, critical challenges such as lithium polysulfide shuttling effects, mismatched interfaces, Li dendrite growth, and the gap between fundamental research and practical applications still hinder the commercialization of SSLSBs. This review aims to combine the fundamental and engineering perspectives to seek rational design parameters for practical SSLSBs. The working principles, constituent components, and practical challenges of SSLSBs are reviewed. Recent progress and approaches to understand the interfacial challenges via advanced characterization techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are summarized and discussed. A series of design parameters including sulfur loading, electrolyte thickness, discharge capacity, discharge voltage, and cathode sulfur content are systematically analyzed to study their influence on the gravimetric and volumetric energy densities of SSLSB pouch cells. The advantages and disadvantages of recently reported SSLSBs are discussed, and potential strategies are provided to address the shortcomings. Finally, potential future directions and prospects in SSLSB engineering are examined.
