Abstract
Ion concentration and mobility are tightly associated with the ionic conductance of polymer electrolytes in solid-state lithium batteries. However, the anions involved in the movement are irrelevant to energy generation and cause uncontrolled dendritic growth and concentration polarization. In the current study, we proposed the strategy of using a bipolar organic molecule as the anion/cation-hosting cathode to expand the active charge carriers of polymer electrolytes. As a proof-of-concept demonstration of the novel strategy, a bipolar phthalocyanine derivative (2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octamethoxyphthalocyaninato) Ni(II) (NiPc-(OH)8) that could successively store anions and cations was used as the cathode hosting material in quasi-solid-state dual-ion batteries (QSSDIBs). Interestingly, peripheral polyhydroxyl substituents could build a compatible interface with poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene-based gel polymer electrolytes (PVDF-HFP). As expected, NiPc-(OH)8 displays a high specific capacity of 248.2 mAh/g (at 50 mA g-1) and improved cyclic stability compared with that in liquid electrolyte. This study provides a solution to the issue of anion migration and could open another way to build high-performance QSSDIBs.

[PMID: 37840019 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202301054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
All-solid-state-batteries (ASSBs) necessitate the preparation of a solid electrolyte and an electrode couple with individually dense and compact structures with superior interfacial contact to minimize overall cell resistance. A conventional preparation method of solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) with polyethylene-oxide (PEO) generally consists in employing uni-axial hot press (HP) to densify SPE. However, while uni-axial press with moderate pressure effectively densifies PEO with Li salts, excessive pressure also unavoidably results in perpendicular elongation and deformation for polymer matrix. In this research, to overcome this limitation for the uni-axial press technique, a cold isostatic press (CIP) is applied to the fabrication of ASSB with PEO and LiFePO4 . CIP effectively and uniformly applies pressure as high as 500 MPa without deformation. Characterizations confirm that CIP treated SPE has enhanced mechanical puncture strength, increasing from 499.3±22.6 to 539.3±22.6 g, and ionic conductivity, increasing from 1.04×10-4 to 1.91×10-4 S cm-1 at 50 °C. ASSB treated by CIP demonstrates remarkably enhanced rate capability and cyclability compared with the cell processed by HP, which is further evidenced by improvement of the apparent Li ion diffusion constant based on Sand equation analysis. The improvement enabled by CIP treatment originates from the superior interface uniformity between electrodes and SPE and from the densification of the LiFePO4 and SPE composite electrode.

Abstract
InCl3@Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3-F (InCl3@LATP-F) solid electrolyte powders are designed and fabricated by coating a uniform InCl3 layer on the surface of F--doped Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP-F) solid powders via a feasible wet-chemical technique. The assembled Li/InCl3@LATP-F/Li cell can undergo longer cycles of 2500 h at 0.4 mA cm-2 without obvious increases in the overvoltage compared to 1837 h for the Li/LATP-F/Li cell, and the interfacial resistance demonstrates a sharp decrease from 3428 to 436 Ω for the Li/InCl3@LATP-F/Li cell during the first 500 h. Importantly, the assembled LiCoO2/InCl3@LATP-F/Li cell delivers a high discharge specific capacity of 126.4 mAh g-1 with a 95.42% capacity retention ratio after 100 cycles at 0.5 C, and the value easily returns to 112.9 mAh g-1 when the current density is abruptly set back to 0.1 C after different rate cycles. These improved results can be mainly attributed to the fact that the InCl3 layer with a lithiophilic nature can react with lithium metal to form a Li-In alloy, which can guarantee homogeneous lithium ion flux to avoid the accumulation of ions/electrons across the interface and suppress the growth of lithium dendrites. Moreover, the InCl3 layer can prevent direct contact of the LATP-F solid electrolyte and lithium metal to effectively alleviate the reduction reaction of Ti4+ and preserve the structural stability of the composite electrolyte. Therefore, this work may provide an effective strategy to engineer and regulate the interfacial stability between LATP solid electrolytes and lithium metal anodes for LATP-type solid-state lithium batteries.

Abstract
Linear polymer (e.g. polyethylene oxide, PEO) based electrolytes have been widely studied due to their flexibility and relatively good contact against electrodes. However, the linear polymers are prone to crystallization at room temperature and melting at moderate temperature, restricting their application in lithium metal batteries. To address these problems, a self-catalyzed crosslinked polymer electrolyte (CPE) was designed and prepared by the reaction of poly (ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether) (PEGDGE) and polyoxypropylenediamine (PPO) with only the bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide lithium salt (LiTFSI) added and with no any initiators. LiTFSI catalyzed the reaction by reducing the activation energy to form a crosslinked network structure, which was identified by calculation, NMR and FTIR. The as-prepared CPE has high resilience and a low glass transition temperature (Tg = -60 °C). Meanwhile, the solvent-free in-situ polymerization technique has been adopted in the assembly of the CPE with electrodes to decrease the interfacial impedance greatly and improve the ionic conductivity to 2.05 × 10-5 S cm-1 and 2.55 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature and 75 °C, respectively. As a result, the in-situ LiFeO4/CPE/Li battery exhibits outstanding thermal and electrochemical stability at 75 °C. Our work has proposed an initiator-free and solvent-free in-situ self-catalyzed strategy of preparing high performance crosslinked solid polymer electrolytes.

Abstract
The replacement of traditional liquid electrolytes with polyethylene oxide (PEO) based composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) is an important strategy to address the current flammability and explosiveness of lithium batteries since PEO CPEs have high flexibility, excellent processability and moderate cost. However, the insufficient ionic conductivity and inferior mechanical strength of PEO CPEs do not suit the operating requirements of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries at room temperature. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) framework composed of interweaved high-modulus polyimide (PI) nanofibers along with functional succinonitrile (SN) plasticizers are employed to synergistically reinforce the ionic conductivity and mechanical strength of PEO CPEs. Impressively, benefitting from the synergistic effects of 3D PI framework and SN plasticizer, PI-PEO-SN CPEs exhibits high ionic conductivity of 1.03 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 30 °C, remarkable tensile strength of 4.52 MPa, and superior Li dendrites blocking ability (>400 h at 0.1 mA cm-2). Such favorable features of PI-PEO-SN CPEs endow LiFePO4/PI-PEO-SN/Li solid-state prototype cells with high specific capacity (151.2 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C), long cycling lifespan (>150 cycles with 91.7 % capacity retention), and superior operating safety even under bending, folding and cutting harsh conditions. This work will pave the avenues to design and fabricate new high-performance PEO CPEs for the high energy density and safety all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Composite solid electrolytes are considered to be the crucial components of all-solid-state lithium batteries, which are viewed as the next-generation energy storage devices for high energy density and long working life. Numerous studies have shown that fillers in composite solid electrolytes can effectively improve the ion-transport behavior, the essence of which lies in the optimization of the ion-transport path in the electrolyte. The performance is closely related to the structure of the fillers and the interaction between fillers and other electrolyte components including polymer matrices and lithium salts. In this review, the dimensional design of fillers in advanced composite solid electrolytes involving 0D-2D nanofillers, and 3D continuous frameworks are focused on. The ion-transport mechanism and the interaction between fillers and other electrolyte components are highlighted. In addition, sandwich-structured composite solid electrolytes with fillers are also discussed. Strategies for the design of composite solid electrolytes with high room temperature ionic conductivity are summarized, aiming to assist target-oriented research for high-performance composite solid electrolytes.

Abstract
With excellent energy densities and highly safe performance, solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) have been hailed as promising energy storage devices. Solid-state electrolyte is the core component of SSLBs and plays an essential role in the safety and electrochemical performance of the cells. Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) are considered as one of the most promising candidates among all solid-state electrolytes due to their excellent comprehensive performance. In this review, we briefly introduce the components of CPEs, such as the polymer matrix and the species of fillers, as well as the integration of fillers in the polymers. In particular, we focus on the two major obstacles that affect the development of CPEs: the low ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and high interfacial impedance. We provide insight into the factors influencing ionic conductivity, in terms of macroscopic and microscopic aspects, including the aggregated structure of the polymer, ion migration rate and carrier concentration. In addition, we also discuss the electrode-electrolyte interface and summarize methods for improving this interface. It is expected that this review will provide feasible solutions for modifying CPEs through further understanding of the ion conduction mechanism in CPEs and for improving the compatibility of the electrode-electrolyte interface.

Abstract
Anode-less lithium metal batteries (ALMBs), whether employing liquid or solid electrolytes, have significant advantages such as lowered costs and increased energy density over lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Among many issues, dendrite growth and non-uniform plating which results in poor coulombic efficiency are the key issues that viciously decrease the longevity of the ALMBs. As a result, lowering the nucleation barrier and facilitating lithium growth towards uniform plating is even more critical in ALMBs. While extensive reviews have focused to describe strategies to achieve high performance in LMBs and ALMBs, this review focuses on strategies designed to directly facilitate nucleation and growth of dendrite-free ALMBs. The review begins with a discussion of the primary components of ALMBs, followed by a brief theoretical analysis of the nucleation and growth mechanism for ALMBs. The review then emphasizes key examples for each strategy in order to highlight the mechanisms and rationale that facilitate lithium plating. By comparing the structure and mechanisms of key materials, the review discusses their benefits and drawbacks. Finally, major trends and key findings are summarized, as well as an outlook on the scientific and economic gaps in ALMBs.

Abstract
Composite solid-state electrolyte (CSSE) with integrated strengths avoids the weaknesses of organic and inorganic electrolytes, and thus become a better choice for all-solid-state lithium battery (ASSLB). However, the poor dispersion of inorganic fillers and the organic/inorganic nature difference leads to their interface incompatibility, which greatly destroys the performance of CSSE and ASSLB. Herein, silane coupling agent (SCA) aminopropyl triethoxysilane (ATS) is introduced to tailor the organic/inorganic interfaces in CSSE by the common chemical bridging effect of SCA and the special amino effect (hydrogen bond and lone pair electron effects). It is found that the hydrogen bond interaction between -NH2 and polyethylene oxide (PEO) enhances their interface interaction. And the lone pair electrons on nitrogen atom allow it to react with solvent acetonitrile and promote the uniform dispersion of ceramic fillers. Moreover, the lone pair electrons can complex with Li+, which promotes the dissociation of Li salts, uniforms Li+ diffusion and inhibits the Li dendrite. Thanks to the above merits, the interface compatibility and stability of organic/inorganic CSSE are much enhanced by innovatively introducing ATS, showing high ionic conductivity and superior mechanical/thermal stability. The ASSLB with this modified CSSE exhibits excellent electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 140.9 mAh g-1 and a capacity retention of 94.4% after 280 cycles. These achievements offer a new insight into improving the stability of organic/inorganic CSSE interface and promoting their applicability into ASSLB.

Abstract
The polyethylene oxide (PEO) solid electrolyte is a promising candidate for all solid state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs), but its low ionic conductivity and poor interfacial compatibility against lithium limit the rate and cycling performance of the cell. Herein, the novel and efficient TiO2@polydopamine (PDA) fillers have been synthesized by coating PDA onto the surface of the TiO2 nanofibers, which are then incorporated into PEO matrices to form the composite electrolyte. The composite electrolyte displays a higher ionic conductivity of 4.36 × 10-4 S cm-1, a wider electrochemical window up to about 5 V and a higher tLi+ of 0.190 at 55 °C compared to the PEO electrolyte. Additionally, the Li/composite electrolyte/Li batteries show a stable Li plating/stripping cycle performance, indicating good interfacial compatibility between the composite electrolyte and lithium. Thus, the LiFePO4/Li ASSLIBs display a fantastic rate performance and cycling stability, and deliver superior discharge specific capacities of 153.83 and 136.45 mA h g-1 at current densities of 0.5C and 2C, achieving good capacity retentions of 93.27% and 91.23% at 0.5C and 1C after 150 cycles, respectively. Therefore, the PEO-TiO2@PDA composite electrolyte is a potential solid electrolyte for ASSLIBs.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLB) are very promising for the future development of next generation lithium battery systems due to their increased energy density and improved safety. ASSLB employing Solid Polymer Electrolytes (SPE) and Solid Composite Electrolytes (SCE) in particular have attracted significant attention. Among the several expected requirements for a battery system (high ionic conductivity, safety, mechanical stability), increasing the energy density and the cycle life relies on the electrochemical stability window of the SPE or SCE. Most published works target the importance of ionic conductivity (undoubtedly a crucial parameter) and often identify the Electrochemical Stability Window (ESW) of the electrolyte as a secondary parameter. In this review, we first present a summary of recent publications on SPE and SCE with a particular focus on the analysis of their electrochemical stability. The goal of the second part is to propose a review of optimized and improved electrochemical methods, leading to a better understanding and a better evaluation of the ESW of the SPE and the SCE which is, once again, a critical parameter for high stability and high performance ASSLB applications.

Abstract
In lithium–sulfur cells, the dissolution and relocation of the liquid-state active material (polysulfides) lead to fast capacity fading and low Coulombic efficiency, resulting in poor long-term electrochemical stability. To solve this problem, we synthesize a composite using a gel polymer electrolyte and a separator as a functional membrane, coated with a layer of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). The PEO/LiTFSI-coated polypropylene membrane slows the diffusion of polysulfides and stabilizes the liquid-state active material within the cathode region of the cell, while allowing smooth lithium-ion transfer. The lithium-sulfur cells with the developed membrane demonstrate a high charge-storage capacity of 1212 mA∙h g−1, 981 mA∙h g−1, and 637 mA∙h g−1 at high sulfur loadings of 2 mg cm−2, 4 mg cm−2, and 6 mg cm−2, respectively, and maintains a high reversible capacity of 534 mA∙h g−1 after 200 cycles, proving its ability to block the irreversible diffusion of polysulfides and to maintain the stabilized polysulfides as the catholyte for improved electrochemical utilization and stability. As a comparison, reference and control cells fabricated using a PEO-coated polypropylene membrane and a regular separator, respectively, show a poor capacity of 662 mA∙h g−1 and a short cycle life of 50 cycles.

Abstract
Li metal batteries have been considered as the most promising batteries with high energy density for cutting-edge electronic devices such as electric vehicles, autonomous aircrafts, and smart grids. However, Li metal anode faces the issues of safety and capacity deterioration, which are closely related to Li dendrite growth. In this paper, we review the main strategies to improve the performance of Li metal anode. Due to Li dendrite's catastrophic influence, suppression of Li dendrite growth is prerequisite for each strategy. Apart from Li dendrite, interfacial resistance between electrolyte and electrode, ionic conductivity of electrolytes, mechanical strength, and volume fluctuation of Li metal anode are also discussed in these strategies. We outline these strategies based on the classifications of constructing solid electrolyte interphase, engineering of solid-state electrolyte and adopting matrix for Li metal anode. Each strategy is illustrated and discussed in detail by exemplification. For better understanding, some important theories related to Li metal anode have been also introduced. Finally, the outlooks for future research of Li metal anode are presented.
