Abstract
Solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) are regarded as next-generation energy storage devices because of their advantages in terms of safety and energy density. However, the poor interfacial compatibility and low ionic conductivity seriously hinder their development. Electrospinning is considered as a promising method for fabricating solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) with controllable nanofiber structures, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Numerous efforts are dedicated to electrospinning SSEs with high ionic conductivity and strong interfacial compatibility, but a comprehensive summary is lacking. Here, the history of electrospinning SSEs is overeviewed and introduce the electrospinning mechanism, followed by the manipulation of electrospun nanofibers and their utilization in SSEs, as well as various methods to improve the ionic conductivity of SSEs. Finally, new perspectives aimed at enhancing the performance of SSEs membranes and facilitating their industrialization are proposed. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview and future perspective on electrospinning technology in SSEs, with the goal of guiding the further development of SSLBs.

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.

Alternatives to fluorinated binders: recyclable copolyester/carbonate electrolytes for high-capacity solid composite cathodes. Chem Sci 2024; 15:2371-2379. [PMID: 38362415 PMCID: PMC10866336 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc05105f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Optimising the composite cathode for next-generation, safe solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes remains a key challenge towards commercialisation and cell performance. Tackling this issue requires the design of suitable polymer binders for electrode processability and long-term solid-solid interfacial stability. Here, block-polyester/carbonates are systematically designed as Li-ion conducting, high-voltage stable binders for cathode composites comprising of single-crystal LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 cathodes, Li6PS5Cl solid electrolyte and carbon nanofibres. Compared to traditional fluorinated polymer binders, improved discharge capacities (186 mA h g-1) and capacity retention (96.7% over 200 cycles) are achieved. The nature of the new binder electrolytes also enables its separation and complete recycling after use. ABA- and AB-polymeric architectures are compared where the A-blocks are mechanical modifiers, and the B-block facilitates Li-ion transport. This reveals that the conductivity and mechanical properties of the ABA-type are more suited for binder application. Further, catalysed switching between CO2/epoxide A-polycarbonate (PC) synthesis and B-poly(carbonate-r-ester) formation employing caprolactone (CL) and trimethylene carbonate (TMC) identifies an optimal molar mass (50 kg mol-1) and composition (wPC 0.35). This polymer electrolyte binder shows impressive oxidative stability (5.2 V), suitable ionic conductivity (2.2 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 60 °C), and compliant viscoelastic properties for fabrication into high-performance solid composite cathodes. This work presents an attractive route to optimising polymer binder properties using controlled polymerisation strategies combining cyclic monomer (CL, TMC) ring-opening polymerisation and epoxide/CO2 ring-opening copolymerisation. It should also prompt further examination of polycarbonate/ester-based materials with today's most relevant yet demanding high-voltage cathodes and sensitive sulfide-based solid electrolytes.

Abstract
The deployment of lithium metal anode in solid-state batteries with polymer electrolytes has been recognized as a promising approach to achieving high-energy-density technologies. However, the practical application of the polymer electrolytes is currently constrained by various challenges, including low ionic conductivity, inadequate electrochemical window, and poor interface stability. To address these issues, a novel eutectic-based polymer electrolyte consisting of succinonitrile (SN) and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate (PEGMEA) is developed. The research results demonstrate that the interactions between SN and PEGMEA promote the dissociation of the lithium difluoro(oxalato) borate (LiDFOB) salt and increase the concentration of free Li+ . The well-designed eutectic-based PAN1.2 -SPE (PEGMEA: SN=1: 1.2 mass ratio) exhibits high ionic conductivity of 1.30 mS cm-1 at 30 °C and superior interface stability with Li anode. The Li/Li symmetric cell based on PAN1.2 -SPE enables long-term plating/stripping at 0.3 and 0.5 mA cm-2 , and the Li/LiFePO4 cell achieves superior long-term cycling stability (capacity retention of 80.3 % after 1500 cycles). Moreover, Li/LiFePO4 and Li/LiNi0.6 Co0.2 Mn0.2 O2 pouch cells employing PAN1.2 -SPE demonstrate excellent cycling and safety characteristics. This study presents a new pathway for designing high-performance polymer electrolytes and promotes the practical application of high-stable lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have great potential to be used in high-safety lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, it is still a significant challenge for SPEs to develop high ionic conductivity, high mechanical strength, and good interior interfacial compatibility. In this work, a ketone-based all-solid-state electrolyte (PAD) resulting from allyl acetoacetate (AAA), diacetone acrylamide (DAAM), and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) was prepared by UV-inducing photopolymerization. The abundant ketone groups endow the prepared PAD all-solid-state electrolyte with strong dissociation of lithium salts and weak coordination interactions between ketone groups and Li+. Depending on the unique properties of the ketone groups in the electrolyte system, the prepared polymer electrolytes show a high lithium-ion transference number of 0.87 and a wide electrochemical window of 4.95 V. Furthermore, the PAD electrolyte also exhibits superior viscoelasticity, which is beneficial for good contact with electrodes. As a result, the assembled LFP/PAD/Li cells with PAD electrolytes show good cycle performance and rate performance. Concretely, the all-solid-state symmetric lithium cells with the PAD electrolyte can achieve stable lithium plating and stripping at 0.05 mA cm-2 for over 1000 h at 60 °C. This work highlights the advantages of ketone-based electrolyte as a polymer electrolyte and provides a design method for advanced polymer electrolytes applied in high-performance solid lithium batteries.

Abstract
Polymer electrolytes for lithium metal batteries have aroused widespread interest because of their flexibility and excellent processability. However, the low ambient ionic conductivity and conventional fabrication process hinder their large-scale application. Herein, a novel polyethylene-oxide-based composite polymer electrolyte is designed and fabricated by introducing nano-SiO2 aerogel as an inorganic filler. The Lewis acid-base interaction between SiO2 and anions from Li salts facilitates the dissociation of Li+. Moreover, the SiO2 interacts with ether oxygen (EO) groups, which weakens the interaction between Li+ and EO groups. This synergistic effect produces more free Li+ in the electrolyte. Additionally, the facile rheology-tuning UV polymerization method achieves continuous coating and has potential for scalable fabrication. The composite polymer electrolyte exhibits high ambient ionic conductivity (0.68 mS cm-1) and mechanical properties (e.g., the elastic modulus of 150 MPa). Stable lithium plating/stripping for 1400 h in Li//Li symmetrical cells at 0.1 mA cm-2 is achieved. Furthermore, LiFePO4//Li full cells deliver superior discharge capacity (153 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C) and cycling stability (with a retention rate of 92.3% at 0.5 C after 250 cycles) at ambient temperature. This work provides a promising strategy for polymer-based lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Herein, we report the effect of using nanoparticles of LiFePO4 on the electrochemical properties of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) with a solid electrolyte. LiFePO4 (LFP) cathode materials are promising cathode materials in polymer-based composite solid electrolytes because of their limited electrochemical window range. However, LFP cathodes exhibit poor electric conductivity and sluggish lithium ion diffusion. In addition, there is a disadvantage in that the interfacial resistance increases due to poor contact between the LFP cathode material and the solid electrolyte when composing the composite cathode. The nano-sized LFP cathode material increases the contact area between solid electrolyte in the positive electrode and enhances lithium ion diffusion. Therefore, the structural differences and electrochemical performance of these nanoscale LFP cathode materials in the ASSB were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and electrochemical analysis.

Abstract
A viscous feature is beneficial for a solid electrolyte with respect to assembling solid-state batteries, which can change the solid-solid contacts from point to face. Here, novel halide-based deep eutectic solid electrolytes (DESEs) prepared by a facile ball milling method is reported. The mixture of halides triggers the deep eutectic phenomena by intermolecular interactions, leading to diverse morphologies and viscous statuses in terms of composition. Chemical- and micro-structure analyses via the cryogenic technique reveal that the LiCl and LiF nanoparticles are dispersed in an amorphous halide matrix, which endow freely mobile ions for fast ion transport. The optimized DESE thus achieves low activation energy and high ionic conductivity of 16 mS cm-1 at room temperature, one of the highest values among various electrolytes so far. By integrating with the active materials to form a composite cathode, the viscous DESE yields a super-dense composite pellet which possesses intensively enhanced ionic conductivity in contrast to those formed by the sulfide-based electrolyte additives, demonstrating an attractive application prospect.

Abstract
Li metal batteries (LMBs) have attracted widespread attention in recent years because of their high energy densities. But traditional LMBs using liquid electrolyte have potential safety hazards, such as: leakage and flammability. Replacing liquid electrolyte with solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) can not only significantly improve the safety, but also improve the energy density of LMBs. However, till now, there is only limited success in improving the various physical and chemical properties of SPE, especially in thickness, posing great obstacles to further promoting its fundamental and applied studies. In this review, the authors mainly focus on evaluating the merits of ultrathin SPE and summarizing its existing challenges as well as fundamental requirements for designing and manufacturing advanced ultrathin SPE in the future. Meanwhile, the authors outline existing cases related to this field as much as possible and summarize them from the perspective of synthetic chemistry, hoping to provide a comprehensive understanding and serve as a strategic guidance for designing and fabricating high-performance ultrathin SPE. Challenges and opportunities regarding this burgeoning field are also critically evaluated at the end of this review.

Abstract
The polymer electrolytes are considered to be an alternative to liquid electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries because of their high thermal stability, flexibility, and wide applications. However, the polymer electrolytes have low ionic conductivity at room temperature due to the interfacial contact issue and the growing of lithium dendrites between the electrolytes/electrodes. In this study, we prepared gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) through an in situ thermal-induced cationic ring-opening strategy, using LiFSI as an initiator. As-synthesized GPEs were characterized with a series of technologies. The as-synthesized PNDGE 1.5 presented good thermal stability (up to 150 °C), low glass transition temperature (Tg < −40 °C), high ionic conductivity (>10−4 S/cm), and good interfacial contact with the cell components and comparable anodic oxidation voltage (4.0 V). In addition, PNGDE 1.5 exhibited a discharge capacity of 131 mAh/g after 50 cycles at 0.2 C and had a 92% level of coulombic efficiency. Herein, these results can contribute to developing of new polymer electrolytes and offer the possibility of good compatibility through the in situ technique for Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SLMBs) are attracting enormous attention due to their enhanced safety and high theoretical energy density. However, the alkali lithium with high reducibility can react with the solid-state electrolytes resulting in the inferior cycle lifespan. Herein, inspired by the idea of interface design, the 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide as an initiator to generate an artificial protective layer in polymer electrolyte is selected. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal the stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is in situ formed between the electrolyte/Li interface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images demonstrate that the constructed SEI can promote homogeneous Li deposition. As a result, the Li/Li symmetrical cells enable stable cycle ultralong-term for over 4500 h. Moreover, the as-prepared LiFePO4 /Li SLMBs exhibit an impressive ultra-long cycle lifespan over 1300 cycles at 1 C, as well as 1600 cycles at 0.5 C with a capacity retention ratio over 80%. This work offers an effective strategy for the construction of the stable electrolyte/Li interface, paving the way for the rapid development of long lifespan SLMBs.

Tuning of composition and morphology of LiFePO 4 cathode for applications in all solid-state lithium metal batteries. Sci Rep 2022; 12:5454. [PMID: 35361808 PMCID: PMC8971424 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-09244-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
All solid-state rechargeable lithium metal batteries (SS-LMBs) are gaining more and more importance because of their higher safety and higher energy densities in comparison to their liquid-based counterparts. In spite of this potential, their low discharge capacities and poor rate performances limit them to be used as state-of-the-art SS-LMBs. This arise due to the low intrinsic ionic and electronic transport pathways within the solid components in the cathode during the fast charge/discharge processes. Therefore, it is necessary to have a cathode with good electron conducting channels to increase the active material utilization without blocking the movement of lithium ions. Since SS-LMBs require a different morphology and composition of the cathode, we selected LiFePO4 (LFP) as a prototype and, we have systematically studied the influence of the cathode composition by varying the contents of active material LFP, conductive additives (super C65 conductive carbon black and conductive graphite), ion conducting components (PEO and LiTFSI) in order to elucidate the best ion as well as electron conduction morphology in the cathode. In addition, a comparative study on different cathode slurry preparation methods was made, wherein ball milling was found to reduce the particle size and increase the homogeneity of LFP which further aids fast Li ion transport throughout the electrode. The SEM analysis of the resulting calendered electrode shows the formation of non-porous and crack-free structures with the presence of conductive graphite throughout the electrode. As a result, the optimum LFP cathode composition with solid polymer nanocomposite electrolyte (SPNE) delivered higher initial discharge capacities of 114 mAh g-1 at 0.2C rate at 30 °C and 141 mAh g-1 at 1C rate at 70 °C. When the current rate was increased to 2C, the electrode still delivered high discharge capacity of 82 mAh g-1 even after 500 cycle, which indicates that the optimum cathode formulation is one of the important parameters in building high rate and long cycle performing SS-LMBs.

Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL) has been widely applied for its excellent physicochemical properties, but it also has common problems with biopolymers. It is important to investigate energy-efficient polymerization crafts and composite catalytic systems in the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) to prepare high-performance PCL matrix composites. In this study, a composite catalytic system of modified halloysite nanotubes loaded with stannous chloride (APTES-P-h-HNTs-SnCl2) was successfully synthesized via hydroxylation, calcination, silane coupling agent modification and physical loading. It was used to catalyze the microwave-assisted in situ ROP of ε-CL to synthesize PCL matrix nanocomposites with modified halloysite nanotubes (PCL-HNTs). The structure, morphology, polymerization, thermal properties and electrochemical performance of products were subsequently investigated. The results show that PCL-HNTs have been successfully synthesized with connected petal-like and porous structures. Compared with PCL, the film-forming and thermal properties of PCL-HNTs have been significantly improved. Moreover, PCL-HNTs have a potential application value in the field of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). For the composite catalyst, there existed synergetic catalytic effect between the hydroxyl groups and the metal center. All chain growth simultaneously proceeded between the layers or on the surface of HNTs, conducting the in situ ROP.![]()

Abstract
Developing high-quality solid-state electrolytes is important for producing next-generation safe and stable solid-state lithium-ion batteries. Herein, a three-dimensional highly porous polymer electrolyte based on poly (vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) with Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) nanoparticle fillers (PVDF-HFP-LLZTO) is prepared using the electrospinning technique. The PVDF-HFP-LLZTO gel polymer electrolyte possesses a high ionic conductivity of 9.44 × 10–4 S cm−1 and a Li-ion transference number of 0.66, which can be ascribed that the 3D hierarchical nanostructure with abundant porosity promotes the liquid electrolyte uptake and wetting, and LLZTO nanoparticles fillers decrease the crystallinity of PVDF-HFP. Thus, the solid-state lithium battery with LiFePO4 cathode, PVDF-HFP-LLZTO electrolyte, and Li metal anode exhibits enhanced electrochemical performance with improved cycling stability.

Abstract
Electrochemical energy systems such as batteries, water electrolyzers, and fuel cells are considered as promising and sustainable energy storage and conversion devices due to their high energy densities and zero or negative carbon dioxide emission. However, their widespread applications are hindered by many technical challenges, such as the low efficiency and poor long-term cyclability, which are mostly affected by the changes at the reactant/electrode/electrolyte interfaces. These interfacial processes involve ion/electron transfer, molecular/ion adsorption/desorption, and complex interface restructuring, which lead to irreversible modifications to the electrodes and the electrolyte. The understanding of these interfacial processes is thus crucial to provide strategies for solving those problems. In this review, we will discuss different interfacial processes at three representative interfaces, namely, solid-gas, solid-liquid, and solid-solid, in various electrochemical energy systems, and how they could influence the performance of electrochemical systems.

Abstract
Ionic liquid has relatively high conductivity at room temperature and good electrochemical stability. Ionic liquid polymer electrolytes have some advantages of both ionic liquid and polymer. In this work, 1-alkyl-3-(2',3'-dihydroxypropyl)imidazolium chloride (IL-Cl) was incorporated into waterborne polyurethane chain to composite all-solid-state polymer electrolyte matrices. The structure, thermal stability, mechanical property and ionic conductivity of the matrices were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), tensile measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results demonstrated that when the content of IL-Cl was 14 wt%, the mechanical property of film was optimized, with a maximum tensile strength of 36 MPa and elongation at break of 1030%. In addition, as for the film with IL-Cl content of 16 wt%, its oxygen index value increased to 25.2% and ionic conductivity reached a maximum of 1.2 × 10-5 S·cm-1 at room temperature, showing high flame retardancy and ionic conductivity.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) with the advantages of high safety, low volatility, and the ability to suppress Li dendrites are highly desirable to be used in next generation high-safety and high-energy lithium-ion batteries. The exploration of SPEs with superior comprehensive properties has received extensive attention for high-performance all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Herein, a sandwich-like nanofibrous membrane-reinforced poly-caprolaclone diol and trimethyl phosphate (TMP) composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) has been designed by a facile "solvent-free" solution-casting method. Specifically, the flame-retardant TMP is employed as a plasticizer, which can improve the ionic conductivity effectively. The as-prepared solid electrolyte exhibits superior comprehensive performance in terms of high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical window, good compatibility with lithium metal, and superior thermal stability. Furthermore, the assembled Li//LiFePO4 ASSBs with this solid CPE show outstanding cycling stability and high average discharge capacity at room temperature (30 °C). Undoubtedly, our study provides a new facile method and a qualified solid electrolyte material for next generation high-performance ASSBs.

Abstract
Composite polymer electrolytes using polyethylene oxide (PEO) are highly appealing by virtue of the fine electrochemical stability, inexpensiveness, and easy fabrication. However, their practical application is currently hindered by the insufficient room-temperature ionic conductivity. Herein, nickel-based ultrathin metal-organic framework nanosheets (NMS) are first introduced as a novel 2D filler into the PEO matrix. The introduction of NMS with a high aspect ratio effectively improves the amorphous region proportion of PEO and thus enhances the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte by 1 order of magnitude. In addition, the Lewis acid-base interactions between the surface-coordinated unsaturated Ni atoms in NMS and the anions of lithium salt could promote the dissociation of lithium salt. Hence, the composite electrolyte with NMS achieves a high Li+ transference value of 0.378. Along with the unique nanostructure of NMS, this NMS composite electrolyte also suppresses Li dendrite growth during cycling. As a result, the assembled all-solid-state Li/LiFePO4 battery demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 130 mA h g-1 at 0.1 C and 30 °C for 50 cycles.

Abstract
With increasing demands for safe, high capacity energy storage to support personal electronics, newer devices such as unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as the commercialization of electric vehicles, current energy storage technologies are facing increased challenges. Although alternative batteries have been intensively investigated, lithium (Li) batteries are still recognized as the preferred energy storage solution for the consumer electronics markets and next generation automobiles. However, the commercialized Li batteries still have disadvantages, such as low capacities, potential safety issues, and unfavorable cycling life. Therefore, the design and development of electromaterials toward high-energy-density, long-life-span Li batteries with improved safety is a focus for researchers in the field of energy materials. Herein, recent advances in the development of novel organic electrolytes are summarized toward solid-state Li batteries with higher energy density and improved safety. On the basis of new insights into ionic conduction and design principles of organic-based solid-state electrolytes, specific strategies toward developing these electrolytes for Li metal anodes, high-energy-density cathode materials (e.g., high voltage materials), as well as the optimization of cathode formulations are outlined. Finally, prospects for next generation solid-state electrolytes are also proposed.

Abstract
Polymer electrolytes for Li metal batteries (LMBs) should be modified to improve their ionic conductivity and stability against the lithium electrode. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) was modified by ion liquid (IL), and the IL modified GO (GO-IL) had been used as a filler for polyethylene oxide (PEO). The obtained solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) is of high ionic conductivity, low crystallinity and excellent stability against the lithium electrode. The PEO/GO-IL was characterized by various techniques, and its structure and performance were analyzed in detail. By addition of 1% GO-IL, the ionic conductivity of the PEO/GO-IL SPE reaches 1.8 × 10-5 S cm-1 at 25°C, which is 10 times higher than PEO (1.7 × 10-6 S cm-1), and the current density for stable Li plating/stripping in PEO/GO-IL can be increased to 100 μA cm-2 at 60°C. LiFePO4/Li cell (using PEO/GO-IL SPE) tests indicated that the initial discharge capacity can reach ~145 mA h g-1 and capacity retention can maintain 88% even after 100 cycles at a rate of 0.1C and at 60°C. Our creative work could provide a useful method to develop SPEs with excellent performance, thus accelerating the commercial application of LMBs.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (SSLSBs) with high energy densities and high safety have been considered among the most promising energy storage devices to meet the demanding market requirements for electric vehicles. However, critical challenges such as lithium polysulfide shuttling effects, mismatched interfaces, Li dendrite growth, and the gap between fundamental research and practical applications still hinder the commercialization of SSLSBs. This review aims to combine the fundamental and engineering perspectives to seek rational design parameters for practical SSLSBs. The working principles, constituent components, and practical challenges of SSLSBs are reviewed. Recent progress and approaches to understand the interfacial challenges via advanced characterization techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are summarized and discussed. A series of design parameters including sulfur loading, electrolyte thickness, discharge capacity, discharge voltage, and cathode sulfur content are systematically analyzed to study their influence on the gravimetric and volumetric energy densities of SSLSB pouch cells. The advantages and disadvantages of recently reported SSLSBs are discussed, and potential strategies are provided to address the shortcomings. Finally, potential future directions and prospects in SSLSB engineering are examined.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have aroused wide interest in lithium batteries because of their sufficient mechanical properties, superior safety performances, and excellent processability. However, ionic conductivity and high-voltage compatibility of SPEs are still yet to meet the requirement of future energy-storage systems, representing significant barriers to progress. In this regard, intermolecular interactions in SPEs have attracted attention, and they can significantly impact on the Li+ motion and frontier orbital energy level of SPEs. Recent advances in improving electrochemcial performance of SPEs are reviewed, and the underlying mechanism of these proposed strategies related to intermolecular interaction is discussed, including ion-dipole, hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking, and Lewis acid-base interactions. It is hoped that this review can inspire a deeper consideration on this critical issue, which can pave new pathway to improve ionic conductivity and high-voltage performance of SPEs.

Abstract
Solid-state rechargeable batteries using polymer electrolytes have been considered, which can avoid safety issues and enhance energy density. However, commercial application of the polymer electrolyte solid-state battery is still significantly limited by the low room-temperature ionic conductivity, poor mechanical properties, and weak interfacial compatibility between the electrolyte and electrode, especially for the room-temperature solid-state rechargeable battery. In this work, a poly(vinylene carbonate)-based composite polymer electrolyte (PVC-CPE) is reported for the first time to realize room-temperature solid-state sodium batteries with high performances. This in situ solidified PVC-CPE possesses superior ionic conductivity (0.12 mS cm-1 at 25 °C), high Na+ transference number (tNa+ = 0.60), as well as enhanced electrode/electrolyte interfacial stability. Notably, the composite cathode NaNi1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 (c-NFM) is designed through the in situ growth of the polymer electrolyte inside the electrode to decrease interfacial resistance and facilitate effective ion transport in electrode/electrolyte interfaces. It is demonstrated that the solid-state c-NFM/PVC-CPE/Na battery assembled by a one-step in situ solidification method exhibits remarkably enhanced cell performances at room temperature compared with a reference NFM/PVC-CPE/Na assembled through a conventional ex situ method. The battery presents a high initial specific capacity of 104.2 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C with a capacity retention of 86.8% over 250 cycles and ∼80.2 mA h g-1 at 1 C. This study suggests that PVC-CPE is a very promising electrolyte for solid-state sodium batteries. This study also suggests a new method to design high-performance polymer electrolytes for other solid-state rechargeable batteries to realize high safety and considerable electrochemical performance at room temperature.

Abstract
The fast-ionic-conducting ceramic electrolyte is promising for next-generation high-energy-density Li-metal batteries, yet its application suffers from the high interfacial resistance and poor interfacial stability. In this study, the compatible solid-state electrolyte was designed by coating Li1.4Al0.4Ti1.6(PO4)3 (LATP) with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) oppositely to satisfy deliberately the disparate interface demands. Wherein, the upper PAN constructs soft-contact with LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2, and the lower PEO protects LATP from being reduced, guaranteeing high-voltage tolerance and improved stability toward Li-metal anode performed in one ceramic. Moreover, the core function of LATP is amplified to guide homogeneous ions distribution and hence suppresses the formation of a space-charge layer across interfaces, uncovered by the COMSOL Multiphysics concentration field simulation. Thus, such a bifunctional modified ceramic electrolyte integrates the respective superiority to render Li-metal batteries with excellent cycling stability (89% after 120 cycles), high Coulombic efficiency (exceeding 99.5% per cycle), and a dendrite-free Li anode at 60 °C, which represents an overall design of ceramic interface engineering for future practical solid battery systems.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used source of power for modern electronic devices. However, their safety became a topic of concern after reports of the devices catching fire due to battery failure. Making safer batteries is of utmost importance, and several researchers are trying to modify various aspects in the battery to make it safer without affecting the performance of the battery. Electrolytes are one of the most important parts of the battery since they are responsible for the conduction of ions between the electrodes. In this paper, we discuss the different non-flammable electrolytes that were developed recently for safer lithium-ion battery applications.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes are actively sought for their potential application in energy storage devices, especially lithium metal rechargeable batteries. However, one of the key challenges in the development of solid-state electrolytes is their lower ionic conductivity compared with that of liquid electrolytes (10-2 S cm-1 at room temperature), where a large gap still exists. Therefore, the pursuit of high ionic conductivity equal to that of liquid electrolytes remains the main objective for the design of solid-state electrolytes. Here, we show a series of high-charge density polymerized ionic networks as solid-state electrolytes that take inspiration from poly(ionic liquid)s. The obtained quasi-solid electrolyte slice displays an astonishingly high ionic conductivity of 5.89 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 25 °C (the highest conductivity among those of the state-of-art polymer gel electrolytes and polymer solid electrolytes) and ultrahigh decomposition potential, >5.2 V versus Li/Li+, which are attributed to the continuous ion transport channel formed by an ultrahigh ion density and an enhanced chemical stability endowed by highly cross-linked networks. The Li/LiFePO4 and Li/LiCoO2 batteries (3.0-4.4 V) assembled with the solid electrolytes show high stable capacities of around 155 and 130 mAh g-1, respectively. In principle, our work breaks new ground for the design and fabrication of the solid-state electrolytes in various energy conversion devices.
