Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for flexible and portable electronics has stimulated research and development in building advanced electrochemical energy devices which are lightweight, ultrathin, small in size, bendable, foldable, knittable, wearable, and/or stretchable. In such flexible and portable devices, semi-solid/solid electrolytes besides anodes and cathodes are the necessary components determining the energy/power performances. By serving as the ion transport channels, such semi-solid/solid electrolytes may be beneficial to resolving the issues of leakage, electrode corrosion, and metal electrode dendrite growth. In this paper, the fundamentals of semi-solid/solid electrolytes (e.g., chemical composition, ionic conductivity, electrochemical window, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and other attractive features), the electrode-electrolyte interfacial properties, and their relationships with the performance of various energy devices (e.g., supercapacitors, secondary ion batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and metal-air batteries) are comprehensively reviewed in terms of materials synthesis and/or characterization, functional mechanisms, and device assembling for performance validation. The most recent advancements in improving the performance of electrochemical energy devices are summarized with focuses on analyzing the existing technical challenges (e.g., solid electrolyte interphase formation, metal electrode dendrite growth, polysulfide shuttle issue, electrolyte instability in half-open battery structure) and the strategies for overcoming these challenges through modification of semi-solid/solid electrolyte materials. Several possible directions for future research and development are proposed for going beyond existing technological bottlenecks and achieving desirable flexible and portable electrochemical energy devices to fulfill their practical applications. It is expected that this review may provide the readers with a comprehensive cross-technology understanding of the semi-solid/solid electrolytes for facilitating their current and future researches on the flexible and portable electrochemical energy devices.

Abstract
Liquid electrolytes currently used in lithium-ion batteries have critical drawbacks such as high flammability, high reactivity toward electrode materials, and solvent leakage. To overcome these issues, most recent research has focused on synthesis and characterization of highly conductive gel-type polymer electrolytes containing large numbers of organic solvents in the polymer matrix. There are still many hurdles to overcome, however, before they can be applied to commercial-level lithium-ion batteries. Since a large amount of organic solvent is required to achieve high ionic conductivity, battery safety is not significantly enhanced. In our study, we synthesized highly conductive quasi-solid-state electrolytes (QSEs) containing an ionically conductive oligomer (polycaprolactone triacrylate) and a small amount of organic solvent by employing click chemistry. In the QSE, polycaprolactone participates in dissociation of lithium salt and migration of lithium ions, resulting in high ionic conductivity. The Li/LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 cell that used this QSE exhibited good cycling performance and enhanced thermal stability, and durability; no organic solvent leakage was observed even under high pressure.

Abstract
Herein, we report a straigthforward procedure to prepare an excellent intertwined nanosponge solid-state polymer electrolyte (INSPE) for highly bendable, rollable, and foldable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The mechanically reliable and electrochemically superior INSPE is conjugated with intertwined nanosponge (IN) poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-co-HFP) and ion-conducting polymer electrolyte (PE) containing poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), succinonitrile (SCN) plasticizer, and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesilfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). The conjugated INSPE has both high strength with great flexibility (tensile strength of 2.1 MPa, elongation of 36.7%), and excellent ionic conductivity (1.04 × 10-3 S·cm-1, similar to the values of liquid electrolytes). As a result of such special combination, the as-prepared INSPE retains almost 100% of its ionic conductivity when subjected to many types of severe mechanical deformations. Therefore, the INSPE is successfully applied to bendable, rollable, and foldable LIBs that show excellent energy storage performance despite the intense mechanical deformations.
