Abstract
All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs) are considered as the most promising candidates for the next-generation high-safety batteries. To achieve high energy density in ASSLMBs, it is essential that the solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are lightweight, thin, and possess superior electrochemical stability. In this study, a feasible and scalable fabrication approach to construct 3D supporting skeleton using an electro-blown spinning technique is proposed. This skeleton not only enhances the mechanical strength but also hinders the migration of Li-salt anions, improving the lithium-ion transference number of the SSE. This provides a homogeneous distribution of Li-ion flux and local current density, promoting uniform Li deposition. As a result, based on the mechanically robust and thin SSEs, the Li symmetric cells show outstanding Li plating/stripping reversibility. Besides, a stable interface contact between SSE and Li anode has been established with the formation of an F-enriched solid electrolyte interface layer. The solid-state Li|sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (Li|SPAN) cell achieves a capacity retention ratio of 94.0% after 350 cycles at 0.5 C. Also, the high-voltage Li|LCO cell shows a capacity retention of 92.4% at 0.5 C after 500 cycles. This fabrication approach for SSEs is applicable for commercially large-scale production and application in high-energy-density and high-safety ASSLMBs.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) that incorporate the argyrodite-Li6PS5Cl (LPSCl) electrolyte hold potential as substitutes for conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the mismatched interface between the LPSCl electrolyte and electrodes leads to increased interfacial resistance and the rapid growth of lithium (Li) dendrites. These factors significantly impede the feasibility of their widespread industrial application. In this study, we developed a composite electrolyte of the LPSCl/polymer to enhance the contact between the electrolyte and electrodes and suppress dendrite formation at the grain boundary of the LPSCl ceramic. The monomer, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), is utilized for in situ polymerization through thermal curing to create the argyrodite LPSCl/polymer composite electrolyte. Additionally, the ball-milling technique was employed to modify the morphology and particle size of the LPSCl ceramic. The ball-milled LPSCl/polymer composite electrolyte demonstrates slightly higher ionic conductivity (ca. 2.21 × 10-4 S/cm) compared to the as-received LPSCl/polymer composite electrolyte (ca. 1.65 × 10-4 S/cm) at 25 °C. Furthermore, both composite electrolytes exhibit excellent compatibility with Li-metal and display cycling stability for up to 1000 h (375 cycles), whereas the as-received LPSCl and ball-milled LPSCl electrolytes maintain stability for up to 600 h (225 cycles) at a current density of 0.4 mA/cm2. The SSB with the ball-milled LPSCl/polymer composite electrolyte delivers high specific discharge capacity (138 mA h/g), Coulombic efficiency (99.97%), and better capacity retention at 0.1C, utilizing the battery configuration of coated NMC811//electrolyte//Li-Indium (In) at 25 °C.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have been extensively investigated owing to their safer and higher energy density. In this work, we prepared a novel elastic solid-state polymer electrolyte based on an in situ-formed elastomer polymer matrix with ion-conductive plasticizer crystal embedded with Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 (LLZTO) nanoparticles, denoted as LZT/SN-SPE. The unique structure of LZT/SN-SPE shows excellent elasticity and flexibility, good electrochemical oxidation tolerance, high ionic conductivity, and high Li+ transference number. The role of LLZTO filler in suppressing the side reactions between succinonitrile (SN) and the lithium metal anode and propelling the Li+ diffusion kinetics can be affirmed. The Li symmetric cells with LZT/SN-SPE cycled stably over 1100 h under a current density of 5 mA cm-2, and Li||LiFePO4 cells realized an excellent rate (92.40 mAh g-1 at 5 C) and long-term cycling performance (98.6% retention after 420 cycles at 1 C). Hence, it can provide a promising strategy for achieving high energy density solid-state LMBs.

Abstract
The pursuit of safer and high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has triggered extensive research activities on solid-state batteries, while challenges related to the unstable electrode-electrolyte interface hinder their practical implementation. Polymer has been used extensively to improve the cathode-electrolyte interface in garnet-based all-solid-state LIBs (ASSLBs), while it introduces new concerns about thermal stability. In this study, we propose the incorporation of a multi-functional flame-retardant triphenyl phosphate additive into poly(ethylene oxide), acting as a thin buffer layer between LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cathode and garnet electrolyte. Through electrochemical stability tests, cycling performance evaluations, interfacial thermal stability analysis and flammability tests, improved thermal stability (capacity retention of 98.5% after 100 cycles at 60 °C, and 89.6% after 50 cycles at 80 °C) and safety characteristics (safe and stable cycling up to 100 °C) are demonstrated. Based on various materials characterizations, the mechanism for the improved thermal stability of the interface is proposed. The results highlight the potential of multi-functional flame-retardant additives to address the challenges associated with the electrode-electrolyte interface in ASSLBs at high temperature. Efficient thermal modification in ASSLBs operating at elevated temperatures is also essential for enabling large-scale energy storage with safety being the primary concern.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) have attracted much attention due to their good thermal stability and high energy density. However, solid-state electrolytes with low conductivity and prominent interfacial issues have hindered the further development of SSLBs. In this research, inspired from a selective confinement structure of anions, a novel HMOF-DNSE composite solid electrolyte with a dual selective confinement interface structure is proposed based on the semi-interpenetrating structure generated by poly(vinylidene fluoride)-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP), poly(di-n-butylmethylammonium) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PDADMATFSI), and a metal-organic frameworks MOF derivative (HMOF) as a filler. The dual-network structure of PVDF-HFP/PDADMATFSI combined with HMOF formed a dual selective confinement interface structure to confine out the movement of large anions TFSI-, thereby enhancing the transfer ability of Li+. Subsequently, the addition of HMOF further improves the transfer of Li+ by binding up TFSI- through its crystal structure. The results show that HMOF-DNSE possesses a high room-temperature ionic conductivity (0.7 mS cm-1), a wide electrochemical window (up to 4.5 V), and a high Li+ transfer number (tLi+) (0.56). LiFePO4/HMOF-DNSE/Li cell shows an excellent capacity of 141.5 mAh g-1 at 1C rate under room temperature, with a high retention of 80.1% after 500 cycles. The material design strategy, which is based on selective confinement interface structures of anions, offers valuable insights into enhancing the electrochemical performance of solid-state lithium batteries.

Abstract
A lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery is a promising candidate for an electrochemical energy-storage system. However, for a long time, it suffered from the "shuttle effect" of the intermediate products of soluble polysulfides and safety issues concerning the combustible liquid electrolyte and lithium anode. In this work, sulfide polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) is employed as a solid cycled cathode to resolve the "shuttle effect" fundamentally, a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) based on poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) is matched to the SPAN cathode to minimize the safety concerns, and finally, a quasi-solid-state Li-SPAN battery is combined by an in situ thermal polymerization strategy to improve its adaptability to the existing battery assembly processes. The PEGDA-based GPE achieved at 60 °C for 40 min ensures little damage to the in situ battery, a good electrode-electrolyte interface, a high ionic conductivity of 6.87 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 30 °C, and a wide electrochemical window of 4.53 V. Ultimately, the as-prepared SPAN composite exerts a specific capacity of 1217.3 mAh g-1 after 250 cycles at 0.2 C with a high capacity retention rate of 89.9%. The combination of the SPAN cathode and in situ thermally polymerized PEGDA-based GPE provides a new inspiration for the design of Li-SPAN batteries with both high specific energy and high safety.

Abstract
The use of solid-state composite electrolytes is a promising strategy to advance all-solid-state batteries. Great efforts have been devoted to improving the ionic conductivity of electrolytes, while little attention has been paid to studying the effect of their mechanical properties on electrochemical performance. The Young's modulus and flexibility are two important and contrary mechanical properties co-existing in electrolytes. Their effect on the electrochemical performance of all-solid-state batteries is important. Here, we study the effect of Young's modulus and flexibility based on a designed sandwich-structured solid-state composite electrolyte (SSCE) with high ionic conductivity (4.57 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C). In the SSCE, the middle layer with 9 : 1 : 0.5 mass ratio of Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) and bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium is sandwiched by two outer layers with a 0.1 : 1 : 0.5 mass ratio among them, which can effectively suppress lithium dendrites and have intimate contact with the electrodes, leading to Li|SSCE|LiFePO4 with promising rate performance (155.5 mA h g-1 at 0.05 C and 124.4 mA h g-1 at 1 C) and excellent cycling stability with 98.8% capacity retention after 450 cycles at 25 °C. This work demonstrates that all-solid-state batteries have greatly enhanced electrochemical performance by uniting Young's modulus and flexibility via SSCEs, and provides a feasible strategy for the development of all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Garnet-type oxide Li6.4 La3 Zr1.4 Ta0.6 O12 (LLZTO) features superior ionic conductivity and good stability toward lithium (Li) metal, but requires high-temperature sintering (≈1200 °C) that induces high fabrication cost, poor mechanical processability, and high interface resistance. Here, a novel high-performance tricomponent composite solid electrolyte (CSE) comprising LLZTO-4LiBH4 /xLi3 BN2 H8 is reported, which is prepared by ball milling the LLZTO-4LiBH4 mixture followed by hand milling with Li3 BN2 H8 . Green pellets fabricated by heating the cold-pressed CSE powders at 120 °C offer ultrafast room-temperature ionic conductivity (≈1.73 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 30 °C) and ultrahigh Li-ion transference number (≈0.9999), which enable the Li|Li symmetrical cells to cycle over 1600 h at 30 °C with only 30 mV of overpotential. Moreover, the Li|CSE|TiS2 full cells deliver 201 mAh g-1 of capacity with long cyclability. These outstanding performances are due to the low open porosity in the electrolyte pellets as well as the high intrinsic ionic conductivity and easy deformability of Li3 BN2 H8 .

Abstract
Composite electrolytes have been regarded as the most prospective electrolytes for commercial application because they acquire the advantages of both polymer and inorganic electrolytes, commonly exhibiting appreciated flexibility and suitable ionic conductivity. Nevertheless, the conventional solution-casting method with toxic solvent and poor interfacial contact still hamper their commercialization process. Moreover, electrolytes with higher ionic conductivity and transference number are urgently needed for satisfying fast-charging batteries. Herein, a novel composite electrolyte (LZEC) reinforced by mechanically robust LLZTO nanoparticles and flexible cellulose mesh was fabricated by a simple and advanced in situ thermal polymerization method, with adding of highly ion-conductive liquid plasticizer. Consequently, the rationally designed LZEC composite electrolyte exhibits superior flexibility and remarkable electrochemical properties in the form of high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical stability window, and high Li+ transference number. Importantly, the in situ synthesis method is expected to help construct an enhanced electrolyte/electrode interface inside the battery, and the LZEC composite electrolyte is capable of suppressing Li dendrite growth effectively, as evidenced by the prolonged stable cycling of the Li/Li symmetric cell. Therefore, the LFP/LZEC/Li full cell exhibits superior rate performance and long cyclic life. These attractive properties make LZEC a potential composite electrolyte for boosting the practical application of safe and long-life Li metal batteries.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASLMBs) are considered to be remarkably promising energy storage devices owing to their high safety and energy density. However, the limitations of current solid electrolytes in oxidation stability and ion transport properties have emerged as fundamental barriers in practical applications. Herein, a novel solid electrolyte is presented by in situ polymerization of salt-concentrated poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) implanted with a three-dimensional porous L10 GeP2 S12 skeleton to mitigate these issues. The poly(PEGDE) endows more oxygen atoms to coordinate with Li+ , significantly lowering its highest occupied molecular orbital level. As a consequence, the electro-oxidation resistance of poly(PEGDE) exceeds 4.7 V versus Li+ /Li. Simultaneously, the three-dimensonal porous L10 GeP2 S12 skeleton provides a percolated pathway for rapid Li+ migration, ensuring a sufficient ionic conductivity of 7.7 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature. As the bottlenecks are well solved, 4.5 V LiNi0.8 Mn0.1 Co0.1 O2 -based ASLMBs present fantastic cycle performance over 200 cycles with an average Coulombic efficiency exceeding 99.6% at room temperature.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive chemodynamic therapy (CDT) mediated by nanozymes has been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically, but the low catalytic efficiency due to insufficient H2O2 in the TME and the poor biodegradability of the nanozymes are still main challenges for clinical translation of nanozymes. Herein, we designed a H2O2 self-supplying nanozyme bearing glucose oxidase (GOX) and polyethyleneimine based on a degradable iron-doped phosphate-based glass (FePBG) nanomimic (FePBG@GOX), which can convert endogenous glucose into toxic hydroxyl radicals. The GOX loaded on the nanozyme can effectively consume glucose in tumor cells to produce a large amount of H2O2 to make up for the lack of H2O2 in the TME. Thereafter, enormous hydroxyl radicals, based on a Fenton reaction of FePBG without any exogenous H2O2, are generated to induce severe apoptosis of tumor cells. The nanozyme exhibits enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity in a high-glucose medium than in a low-glucose medium, illustrating sufficient generation of H2O2 by GOX. The excellent in vivo antitumor efficacy is manifested by a high tumor growth inhibition ratio of 94.65% in model mice. Excellent intrinsic biodegradability owing to its phosphate-based glass nature is a remarkable advantage of the prepared FePBG nanozyme over most other reported nanozymes. Big concerns about side effects caused by long-time residence in living organisms are eliminated since it degrades not only in an acid medium but also in a neutral physiological environment. Therefore, this novel strategy of the TME-responsive H2O2 self-supplying nanozyme based on an endogenous cascade catalytic reaction opens up an avenue for designing degradable nanozymes in CDT.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries have attracted more and more attention in recent years because of their high safety and energy density, with developments in the new energy industry and energy storage industry. However, solid-state electrolytes are usually symmetric and are not compatible with the cathode and anode at once. In this work, a flexible asymmetric organic-inorganic composite solid-state electrolyte consisting of PI membrane, succinonitrile (SN), LiLaZrTaO(LLZTO), Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEO), and LiTFSI were prepared by solution casting successfully. This lightweight solid electrolyte is stable at a high temperature of 150°C and exhibits a wide electrochemical window of more than 6 V. Furthermore, the high ionic conductivity of the flexible solid electrolyte was 7.3 × 10−7 S/cm. The solid-state batteries assembled with this flexible asymmetric organic-inorganic composite solid electrolyte exhibit excellent performance at ambient temperature. The specific discharge capacity of coin cells using asymmetric organic-inorganic composite solid-state electrolytes was 156.56 mAh/g, 147.25 mAh/g, and 66.55 mAh/g at 0.1, 0.2, and 1C at room temperature. After 100 cycles at 0.2C, the reversible discharging capacity was 96.01 mAh/g, and Coulombic efficiency was 98%. Considering the good performance mentioned above, our designed flexible asymmetric organic-inorganic composite solid electrolyte is appropriate for next-generation solid-state batteries with high cycling stability.
