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.

Abstract
Solid-state polymer electrolytes are highly anticipated for next generation lithium ion batteries with enhanced safety and energy density. However, a major disadvantage of polymer electrolytes is their low ionic conductivity at room temperature. In order to enhance the ionic conductivity, here, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are employed to improve the poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) based electrolyte. Owing to the increased amorphous areas of PEO and mobility of Li+ , GQDs modified composite polymer electrolytes achieved high ionic conductivity and favorable lithium ion transference numbers. Significantly, the abundant hydroxyl groups and amino groups originated from GQDs can serve as Lewis base sites and interact with lithium ions, thus promoting the dissociation of lithium salts and providing more ion pathways. Moreover, lithium dendrite is suppressed, associated with high transference number, enhanced mechanical properties and steady interface stability. It is further observed that all solid-state lithium batteries assembled with GQDs modified composite polymer electrolytes display excellent rate performance and cycling stability.

Abstract
With high safety and good flexibility, polymer-based composite solid electrolytes are considered to be promising electrolytes and are widely investigated in solid lithium batteries. However, the low conductivity and high interfacial impedance of polymer-based solid electrolytes hinder their industrial applications. Herein, a composite solid-state electrolyte containing graphene (PVDF-LATP-LiClO4-Graphene) with structurally stable and good electrochemical performance is explored and enables excellent electrochemical properties for lithium-ion batteries. The ionic conductivity of the composite electrolyte membrane containing 5 wt% graphene reaches 2.00 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 25 °C, which is higher than that of the composite electrolyte membrane without graphene (2.67 × 10-4 S cm-1). The electrochemical window of the composite electrolyte membrane containing 5 wt% graphene reaches 4.6 V, and its Li+ transference numbers reach 0.84. Assembling this electrolyte into the battery, the LFP/PVDF-LATP-LiClO4-Graphene /Li battery has a specific discharge capacity of 107 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C, and the capacity retention rate was 91.58% after 100 cycles, higher than that of the LiFePO4/PVDF-LATP-LiClO4/Li (LFP/PLL/Li) battery, being 94 mAh g-1 and 89.36%, respectively. This work provides a feasible solution for the potential application of composite solid electrolytes.

Abstract
An ultrastable and kinetically favorable interface is constructed between sulfide-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) and lithium metal, via in situ formation of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer containing Li3 PS4 . A specially designed sulfide, lithium polysulfidophosphate (LPS), can distribute uniformly in the PEO matrix via a simple stirring process because of its complete solubility in acetonitrile solvent, which is advantageous for creating a homogeneous SEI layer. The CSE/Li interface with high Li+ transportation capability is stabilized quickly through in situ formation of a Li3 PS4 /Li2 S/LiF layer via the reaction between LPS and lithium metal to inhibit lithium dendrite growth. A Li/Li symmetric cell with the LPS-integrated CSE exhibits constant and small CSE/Li resistance of 10 Ω cm2 during cycling, delivering stable cycling for 3475 h at a current density of 0.2 mA cm-2 and a high critical current density of 0.9 mA cm-2 at 60 °C. Impressive electrochemical performance is also demonstrated for LiFePO4 /CSE/Li all-solid-state batteries with capacity of 127.6 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1 C.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) promise high energy density and high safety by employing high-capacity Li metal anode and solid-state electrolytes. However, the construction of the composite Li metal electrode is a neglected but important subject when the extensive research focuses on the interface between the solid electrolyte Li6.4 La3 Zr1.4 Ta0.6 O12 and Li metal anode. Here, an electronic-ionic conducting composite Li metal anode consisting of Li-Al alloy and LiF is constructed to achieve the stable electronic-ionic transport channel and the intimate interface contact, which can realize the uniform Li deposition and the efficiency utilization of lithium in composite Li metal electrode. Therefore, the symmetric battery with composite Li metal electrode exhibits the high critical current density with 1.2 mA cm-2 and stable cycle for 1500 h at 0.3 mA cm-2 , 25 °C. Moreover, the SSLMBs matched with LiFePO4 and LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 achieve the outstanding electrochemical performance, verifying the feasibility of composite Li metal electrode in various SSLMBs systems.

Abstract
Traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries are not applicable for extreme temperatures, due to the shrinkage of separators and volatility of electrolytes. It is necessary to develop advanced electrolytes with desirable characteristics in terms of thermal stability, electrochemical stability and mechanical properties. Solid-state electrolytes, such as polyethylene oxide (PEO), outperform other types and bring the opportunity to realize the high-temperature lithium-ion batteries. However, the softness of PEO at elevated temperatures leads to battery failure. In this work, a three-dimensional fiber-network-reinforced PEO-based composite polymer electrolyte is prepared. The introduced polyimide (PI) framework and trimethyl phosphate (TMP) plasticizer decrease the crystallinity of PEO and increase the ionic conductivity at 30 °C from 8.79 × 10-6 S cm-1 to 4.70 × 10-5 S cm-1. In addition, the PEO bonds tightly with PI fiber network, improving both the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the prepared electrolyte. With the above strategies, the working temperature range of the PEO-based electrolytes is greatly expanded. The LiFePO4/Li cell assembled with the PI-PEO-TMP electrolyte stably performs over 300 cycles at 120 °C. Even at 140 °C, the cell still survives 80 cycles. These excellent performances demonstrate the potential application of the PI-PEO-TMP electrolyte in developing safe and high-temperature lithium batteries.

Abstract
Direct application of metallic lithium (Li) as the anode in rechargeable lithium metal batteries (LMBs) is still hindered by some annoying issues such as lithium dendrites formation, low Coulombic efficiency, and safety concerns arising therefrom. Herein, an advanced composite separator is prepared by facilely blade coating lightweight and thin functional layers on commercial 12 µm polyethylene separator to stabilize the Li anode. The composite separator simultaneously improves the Li ion transport and lithium deposition behaviors with uniform lithium ion distribution properties, enabling the dendrite-free Li deposition. As a result, the lithium anode can stably cycle up to 3000 cycles with the high capacity of 3.5 mAh cm-2 . Moreover, the composite separator exhibits wide compatibility in LMBs (Li-S and Li-ion battery) and delivers stable cycling performance and high Coulombic efficiency both in coin and lab-level soft-pack cells. Thus, this cost-effective modification strategy exhibits great application potential in high-energy LMBs.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have a wide range of applications but face challenges in harsh working or operating environments at high temperatures. In this work, a solid polymer electrolyte with MWCNT-COOH as an additive (MWCNT-SPE) was obtained. MWCNT-SPE has a high thermal stability and can be used in high-temperature operating environments. Solid-state lithium batteries based on MWCNT-SPE and LiFePO4 were assembled. The resulting lithium batteries exhibited excellent electrochemical properties at 70 and 120 °C, demonstrating a wide range of operations suitable for solid-state batteries with extreme demands. The symmetrical Li/MWCNT-SPE/Li cell operated for 1800 h with low polarization voltage and no short circuit, and the LiFePO4/MWCNT-SPE/Li cell delivered superior cycling performance under both 0.2 and 0.5 C-rates, indicating that the interface compatibility between the lithium metal and MWCNT-SPE membrane was good and could effectively suppress the formation of lithium dendrites. The superior performance of the resulting MWCNT-SPE was due to the weak interaction between PEO, PVDF-HFP, and MWCNT-COOH, which reduced the tendency of PEO's crystallinity and thereby significantly increased the Li+ migration ability and improved the cycling life of the batteries.

Abstract
As one of the most efficient electrochemical energy storage devices, the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been extensively improved in the past several decades. However, with increased energy density, the safety risk of LIBs becomes higher too. The frequently occurred battery accidents worldwide remind us that safeness is a crucial requirement for LIBs, especially in environments with high safety concerns like airplanes and military platforms. It is generally recognized that the catastrophic thermal runaway (TR) event is the major cause of LIBs related accidents. Tremendous efforts have been devoted to coping with the TR concerns in LIBs, and thus enhance battery safety. This review first gives an introduction to the fundamentals of LIBs and the origins of safety issues. Then, the authors summarize the recent advances to improve the safety of LIBs with a unique focus on thermal-responsive and fire-resistant materials. Finally, a perspective is proposed to guide future research directions in this field. It is anticipated this review will stimulate inspiration and arouse extensive studies on further improvement in battery safety.

Abstract
Surface coating is essential for the cathode materials applied in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) based on sulfide electrolytes because of the instability of the cathode/sulfide interface. In contrast with those for general lithium ion batteries (LIBs) using a liquid electrolyte, the coating materials for ASSBs require different functional properties such as high ionic conductivity, low reactivity with sulfide electrolytes, and low electronic conductivity. In addition to LiNbO3, which is the most popular coating material for ASSBs, LiTaO3 is another highly promising coating material, and both materials mostly satisfy these requirements. In this work, LiTaO3 and LiNbO3 were used to coat the surface of LiNi0.82Co0.12Mn0.06O2 cathodes for ASSBs. Further, the effects of two different coating methods, postcoating and precursor-based (PB) coating, were characterized and compared. The postcoating method simply forms a coating layer, whereas the PB coating method offers an additional doping effect owing to the diffusion of coating ions into the cathode structure. Surface coating considerably increased the capacity of the ASSB cathodes under all experimental conditions. With the same coating amount and method, the effect of the LiTaO3 coating was similar or superior to that of the LiNbO3 coating. Compared with the postcoating method, however, the PB coating method resulted in a superior rate capability and cyclic performance, which was mostly attributed to the doping effect of Ta or Nb. An X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirmed that both the LiTaO3 and LiNbO3 coatings suppressed side reactions. Among the coatings we examined, the LiTaO3 coating prepared by the PB method most effectively enhanced the electrochemical performance of the cathodes for sulfide electrolyte-based ASSBs.
