Abstract
In the present mini-review are discussed the findings reported in the last five years on the ion-conducting composites of polymers and molecules of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs), as well as their applications at present and in the future. Nowadays, free-standing and flexible thin films of such organic composite electrolytes synthesized from plastics and nematic soft matter are among the technically important materials and components for use in energy storage and conversion devices and in organic soft electronics, sensorics, and mechatronics. Although the physicochemical mechanisms and effects in the ion-conducting polymer/NLCs composites are well understood, the possibility to find additional ways for improving their electrical conductivity and dielectric and mechanical properties is a challenge. The efforts in this research direction are important for the development of novel ion-conductor materials and further diversification of their applications. This mini-review is focused on the key characteristics of ion-conducting polymer/NLCs composites and the new trends in their fabrication. With relevant examples, the vast research opportunities, some proposed improvements, and the creative ideas associated with these advanced materials and their intelligent use are outlined.

Abstract
With the low redox potential of -3.04 V (vs SHE) and ultrahigh theoretical capacity of 3862 mAh g-1 , lithium metal has been considered as promising anode material. However, lithium metal battery has ever suffered a trough in the past few decades due to its safety issues. Over the years, the limited energy density of the lithium-ion battery cannot meet the growing demands of the advanced energy storage devices. Therefore, lithium metal anodes receive renewed attention, which have the potential to achieve high-energy batteries. In this review, the history of the lithium anode is reviewed first. Then the failure mechanism of the lithium anode is analyzed, including dendrite, dead lithium, corrosion, and volume expansion of the lithium anode. Further, the strategies to alleviate the lithium anode issues in recent years are discussed emphatically. Eventually, remaining challenges of these strategies and possible research directions of lithium-anode modification are presented to inspire innovation of lithium anode.

Abstract
A freestanding ion membrane with high ionic conductivity, electrochemical compatibility, satisfactory strength, and safety is a goal pursued for advanced energy storage. Geminal dicationic ionic liquids (GDILs) are expected to be designed and synthesized as a basic building block for the target ionic conductors. Herein, we fabricated a GDIL-based flexible ion conductive material, which appears and behaves as a freestanding film, an ion membrane actually, denoted as iMembrane. The iMembrane presented high thermal stability, broad electrochemical stability, and capable ionic conductivity. Stable lithium-ion intercalation/de-intercalation can be achieved at the iMembrane/graphite interface without co-intercalation of imidazole rings, which is attributed to the specific anion-derived solid electrolyte interphase. Moreover, iMembrane is well compatible with the lithium metal anode and LiFePO4 cathode. The soft-packed batteries assembled with iMembrane were punctured with a nail without any fire or smoke. Hence, as an ionic membrane in nonprotonic, iMembrane is promising to enhance safety and energy density of lithium batteries.
