Abstract
Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes (SICPEs) are considered as one of the most promising candidates for achieving lithium metal batteries (LMBs). However, the application of traditional SICPEs is hindered by their low ionic conductivity and poor mechanical stability. Herein, a self-standing and flexible polyurethane-based single-ion conductor membrane was prepared via covalent tethering of the trifluoromethanesulfonamide anion to polyurethane, which was synthesized using a facile reaction of diisocyanates with poly(ethylene oxide) and 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (or 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid). The polymer electrolyte exhibited excellent ionic conductivity, mechanical properties, lithium-ion transference number, thermal stability, and a broad electrochemical window because of the bulky anions and unique two-phase structures with lithium-ion nanochannels in the hard domains. Consequently, the plasticized electrolyte membrane showed exceptional stability and reliability in a Li||Li symmetric battery. The assembled LiFePO4||Li battery exhibited an outstanding capacity (∼180 mA h g-1), Coulombic efficiency (>96%), and capacity retention. This research provides a promising polymer electrolyte for high-performance LMBs.

Abstract
Zn-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have enormous potential in realizing high-performance zinc-ion batteries. Polymeric single-ion conductor (PSIC)-based SPEs can largely eradicate anion migration and side reactions of electrodes with decreased polarization, but the ionic conductivity is still unsatisfactory due to the tight localized ion interactions and sluggish chain motion. Herein, by employing the heterocyclic tetrazole as the anionic center of the side chain, a novel PSIC is fabricated with optimized charge delocalization and enhanced side-chain motion. The as-prepared PSIC delivers an ionic conductivity up to 5.4 × 10-4 S cm-1 with an ultrahigh Zn2+ transference number of 0.94. Based on the PSIC, dendrite-free and hydrogen-free Zn plating/stripping cycling (2000 h) is achieved. A further assembled Zn‖V2 O5 battery exhibits superior performances to other solid ZIBs, including a high discharge capacity, excellent rate capability, and long cycling life. In addition, a remarkable shelf-life (90 d), low self-discharge rate, and good temperature adaptability of the solid battery can be achieved benefiting from the high stability of the SPE during operation. The PSIC-based SPEs with advanced ion-transport structure endow solid ZIBs with significant performance improvement, high safety, and durability.

Abstract
Magnesium-based batteries represent one of the successfully emerging electrochemical energy storage chemistries, mainly due to the high theoretical volumetric capacity of metallic magnesium (i.e., 3833 mAh cm-3 vs. 2046 mAh cm-3 for lithium), its low reduction potential (-2.37 V vs. SHE), abundance in the Earth's crust (104 times higher than that of lithium) and dendrite-free behaviour when used as an anode during cycling. However, Mg deposition and dissolution processes in polar organic electrolytes lead to the formation of a passivation film bearing an insulating effect towards Mg2+ ions. Several strategies to overcome this drawback have been recently proposed, keeping as a main goal that of reducing the formation of such passivation layers and improving the magnesium-related kinetics. This manuscript offers a literature analysis on this topic, starting with a rapid overview on magnesium batteries as a feasible strategy for storing electricity coming from renewables, and then addressing the most relevant outcomes in the field of anodic materials (i.e., metallic magnesium, bismuth-, titanium- and tin-based electrodes, biphasic alloys, nanostructured metal oxides, boron clusters, graphene-based electrodes, etc.).

Abstract
The solid-state lithium metal battery (SSLMB) is one of the most optimal solutions to pursue next-generation energy storage devices with superior energy density, in which solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are expected to completely solve the safety problems caused by direct use of a lithium metal anode. Most previous work has mainly focused on improving the electrochemical performance of SSLMBs, but the safety issues have been largely ignored due to the influence of the stereotype that batteries with SSEs are always safe. In the actual research process, however, some potential dangers of SSLMBs have been gradually revealed, so extra attention should be paid to this issue. This minireview summarizes several aspects that could raise safety concerns and provides a brief overview of the corresponding solutions to each aspect. Finally, general conclusions and perspectives on the research of SSLMBs with ultra-high safety are presented.
