ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:35920-35928. [PMID: 39184512 PMCID: PMC11339980 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c05040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 07/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) electrolytes usually suffer from low room temperature (RT) ionic conductivity and a narrow voltage window, which limits the improvement of energy density and practical applications in all-solid-state batteries. Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) are regarded as the common method to reduce the crystallinity of polymers and increase the lithium ion conductivity. Compared with active or inert ceramic material fillers in previous studies, aluminum-lithium alloy fillers are used to prepare composite electrolytes in this study, showing excellent performance at room temperature. The conductivity of the PEO-based electrolytes increases by a factor of 3.62-3.62× 10-4 S cm-1 at RT with 5 wt % Al-Li alloy. The transference number of Li+ is increased to 0.524. The characteristics of the Al-Li alloy and higher conductivity enable the composite electrolyte to stabilize the interface with the electrodes, reducing the polarization of solid-state batteries. The all-solid-state Li/PEO-5%/LiFePO4 cells show the highest initial discharge capacity of 153 mAh g-1 and the highest stable discharge capacity of 147 mAh g-1 with the initial Coulombic efficiency of more than 100%. It also exhibits the best rate capacity and cycle performance (90% capacity retention rate after 100 cycles).

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have garnered extensive attention as potential alternatives to traditional liquid electrolytes, primarily due to their prowess in curbing lithium dendrite formation and preventing electrolyte leaks. The quest for SPEs that are both mechanically robust and exhibit superior ionic conductivity has been vigorous. However, achieving a harmonious balance between these two attributes remains a significant challenge. In this study, we introduce a novel quasi-solid electrolyte, ingeniously crafted from a poly(urethane-urea) network, enriched with lithium salts and plasticizers. This innovative composition not only boasts remarkable toughness but also ensures commendable ionic conductivity. Our post-gelation method yields gel polymer electrolytes that undergo rigorous evaluation, leading to an optimized version that stands out with its exceptional room-temperature ionic conductivity (2.94×10-4 S cm-1) and outstanding toughness (11.9 MJ m-3). Moreover, it demonstrates a broad electrochemical window (4.73 V), remarkable stability across a 600-hour cycle test, a high capacity retention exceeding 80 % after 100 cycles at 0.2 C, and a noteworthy self-healing capability. This quasi-solid polymer electrolyte emerges as a promising contender to replace current liquid electrolyte solutions.

Abstract
The solid-state battery with a lithium metal anode is a promising candidate for next-generation batteries with improved energy density and safety. However, the current polymer electrolytes still cannot fulfill the demands of solid-state batteries. In this work, we propose a "5H" poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) electrolyte via introducing a multifunctional additive of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (TPFPB) for high-performance lithium metal batteries. The addition of TPFPB improves the ionic conductivity from 6.08 × 10-5 to 1.54 × 10-4 S cm-1 via reducing the crystallinity of the PEO electrolyte and enhances the lithium-ion transference number from 0.19 to 0.53 via anion trapping due to its Lewis acid nature. Furthermore, the fluorine and boron segments from TPFPB can optimize the composition of the solid-electrolyte interphase and cathode-electrolyte interphase, providing a high electrochemical stability window over 4.6 V of the PEO electrolyte along with significantly improved interface stability. At last, TPFPB can ensure improved safety through a self-extinguishing effect. As a result, the "5H" electrolyte enables the Li/Li symmetric cells to achieve a stable cycle over 2200 h at the current density of 0.2 mA cm-2 with a capacity of 0.2 mA h cm-2; the LiFePO4/Li full cells with a high LFP loading of 8 mg cm-2 exhibits decay-free capacity of 140 mA h g-1 (99% capacity retention) after 100 cycles; and the NCM811/Li cells exhibit a high capacity of 160 mA h g-1 after 50 cycles at 0.5 C. This work presents an innovative approach to utilizing a "5H" electrolyte for high-performance solid-state lithium batteries.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes are key to achieving high energy density, safety, and stability for lithium-ion batteries. In this Review, core indicators of solid polymer electrolytes are discussed in detail including ionic conductivity, interface compatibility, mechanical integrity, and cycling stability. Besides, we also summarize how above properties can be improved by design strategies of functional monomers, groups, and assembly of batteries. Structures and properties of polymers are investigated here to provide a basis for all-solid-state electrolyte design strategies of multi-component polymers. In addition, adjustment strategies of quasi-solid-state polymer electrolytes such as adding functional additives and carrying out structural design are also investigated, aiming at solving problems caused by simply adding liquids or small molecular plasticizer. We hope that fresh and established researchers can achieve a general perspective of solid polymer electrolytes via this Review and spur more extensive interests for exploration of high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) have aroused intensive attention for their moderate comprehensive performances in lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). However, GPEs with low elastic moduli of MPa magnitude cannot mechanically regulate the Li deposition, leading to recalcitrant lithium dendrites. Herein, a porous Li7 La3 Zr2 O12 (LLZO) framework (PLF) is employed as an integrated solid filler to address the intrinsic drawback of GPEs. With the incorporation of PLF, the composite GPE exhibits an ultrahigh elastic modulus of GPa magnitude, confronting Li dendrites at a mechanical level and realizing steady polarization at high current densities in Li||Li cells. Benefiting from the compatible interface with anodes, the LFP|PLF@GPE|Li cells deliver excellent rate capability and cycling performance at room temperature. Theoretical models extracted from the topology of solid fillers reveal that the PLF with unique 3D structures can effectively reinforce the gel phase of GPEs at the nanoscale via providing sufficient mechanical support from the load-sensitive direction. Numerical models are further developed to reproduce the multiphysical procedure of dendrite propagation and give insights into predicting the failure modes of LMBs. This work quantitatively clarifies the relationship between the topology of solid fillers and the interface stability of GPEs, providing guidelines for designing mechanically reliable GPEs for LMBs.

Abstract
Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries have garnered significant interest due to their enhanced potential window, high energy density, and improved safety features. However, the issues such as low ionic conductivity at ambient temperature, substantial ionic conductivity fluctuations with temperature changes, and inadequate electrolyte interfacial compatibility hinder their widespread applications. Electrospinning is a popular approach for fabricating solid-state electrolytes owing to its superior advantages of adjustable component constitution and the unique internal fiber structure of the resultant electrolytes. Thus, this technique has been extensively adopted in related studies. This review provides an overview of recent advancements in optimizing the performance of PEO solid-state electrolytes via electrospinning technology. Initially, the impacts of different lithium salts and their concentrations on the performance of electrospun PEO-based solid-state electrolytes were compared. Subsequently, research pertaining to the effects of various additives on these electrolytes was reviewed. Furthermore, investigations concerning the enhancement of electrospun solid-state electrolytes via modifications of PEO molecular chains are herein detailed, and lastly, the prevalent challenges and future directions of PEO-based solid-state electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries are summarized.

Abstract
Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) have become fairly prevalent for fabricating high-performance solid-state lithium metal batteries due to their high Li+ solvating capability, flexible processability and low cost. However, unsatisfactory room-temperature ionic conductivity, weak interfacial compatibility and uncontrollable Li dendrite growth seriously hinder their progress. Enormous efforts have been devoted to combining PEO with ceramics either as fillers or major matrix with the rational design of two-phase architecture, spatial distribution and content, which is anticipated to hold the key to increasing ionic conductivity and resolving interfacial compatibility within CSEs and between CSEs/electrodes. Unfortunately, a comprehensive review exclusively discussing the design, preparation and application of PEO/ceramic-based CSEs is largely lacking, in spite of tremendous reviews dealing with a broad spectrum of polymers and ceramics. Consequently, this review targets recent advances in PEO/ceramic-based CSEs, starting with a brief introduction, followed by their ionic conduction mechanism, preparation methods, and then an emphasis on resolving ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility. Afterward, their applications in solid-state lithium metal batteries with transition metal oxides and sulfur cathodes are summarized. Finally, a summary and outlook on existing challenges and future research directions are proposed.

Abstract
Organic batteries using redox-active polymers and small organic compounds have become promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices due to the abundance, environmental benignity, and diverse nature of organic resources. To date, tremendous research efforts have been devoted to developing advanced organic electrode materials and understanding the material structure-performance correlation in organic batteries. In contrast, less attention was paid to the correlation between electrolyte structure and battery performance, despite the critical roles of electrolytes for the dissolution of organic electrode materials, the formation of the electrode-electrolyte interphase, and the solvation/desolvation of charge carriers. In this review, we discuss the prospects and challenges of organic batteries with an emphasis on electrolytes. The differences between organic and inorganic batteries in terms of electrolyte property requirements and charge storage mechanisms are elucidated. To provide a comprehensive and thorough overview of the electrolyte development in organic batteries, the electrolytes are divided into four categories including organic liquid electrolytes, aqueous electrolytes, inorganic solid electrolytes, and polymer-based electrolytes, to introduce different components, concentrations, additives, and applications in various organic batteries with different charge carriers, interphases, and separators. The perspectives and outlook for the future development of advanced electrolytes are also discussed to provide a guidance for the electrolyte design and optimization in organic batteries. We believe that this review will stimulate an in-depth study of electrolytes and accelerate the commercialization of organic batteries.

Abstract
Highlights The current issues and recent advances in polymer/inorganic composite electrolytes are reviewed. The molecular interaction between different components in the composite environment is highlighted for designing high-performance polymer/inorganic composite electrolytes. Inorganic filler properties that affect polymer/inorganic composite electrolyte performance are pointed out. Future research directions for polymer/inorganic composite electrolytes compatible with high-voltage lithium metal batteries are outlined. Abstract Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are widely considered the essential components for upcoming rechargeable lithium-ion batteries owing to the potential for great safety and energy density. Among them, polymer solid-state electrolytes (PSEs) are competitive candidates for replacing commercial liquid electrolytes due to their flexibility, shape versatility and easy machinability. Despite the rapid development of PSEs, their practical application still faces obstacles including poor ionic conductivity, narrow electrochemical stable window and inferior mechanical strength. Polymer/inorganic composite electrolytes (PIEs) formed by adding ceramic fillers in PSEs merge the benefits of PSEs and inorganic solid-state electrolytes (ISEs), exhibiting appreciable comprehensive properties due to the abundant interfaces with unique characteristics. Some PIEs are highly compatible with high-voltage cathode and lithium metal anode, which offer desirable access to obtaining lithium metal batteries with high energy density. This review elucidates the current issues and recent advances in PIEs. The performance of PIEs was remarkably influenced by the characteristics of the fillers including type, content, morphology, arrangement and surface groups. We focus on the molecular interaction between different components in the composite environment for designing high-performance PIEs. Finally, the obstacles and opportunities for creating high-performance PIEs are outlined. This review aims to provide some theoretical guidance and direction for the development of PIEs.

Abstract
Lithium metal is regarded as the most potential anode material for improving the energy density of batteries due to its high specific capacity and low electrode potential. However, the practical application of lithium-metal anodes (LMAs) still faces severe challenges such as uncontrollable dendrites growth and large volume expansion. The development of functional nanomaterials has brought opportunities for the revival of LMAs. Among them, nanofibrous materials show great application potential for LMAs protection due to their distinct functional and structural features. Here, the latest research progress in nanofibrous materials for LMAs is systematically outlined. First, the problems existing in the practical application of LMAs are analyzed. Then, prospective strategies and recent research progress toward stable LMAs based on nanofibrous materials are summarized from the aspects of artificial protective layers, three-dimensional frameworks, separators, and solid-state electrolytes. Finally, the future development of nanofibrous materials for the protection of lithium-metal batteries is summarized and prospected. This review establishes a close connection between nanofibrous materials and LMA modification and provides insight for the development of high-safety lithium-metal batteries.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are considered as one of the most promising candidates for the next-generation energy-storage technology, because they simultaneously exhibit high safety, high energy density, and wide operating temperature range. The replacement of liquid electrolytes with solid electrolytes produces numerous solid-solid interfaces within the SSBs. A thorough understanding on the roles of these interfaces is indispensable for the rational performance optimization. In this review, the interface issues in the SSBs, including internal buried interfaces within solid electrolytes and composite electrodes, and planar interfaces between electrodes and solid electrolyte separators or current collectors are discussed. The challenges and future directions on the investigation and optimization of these solid-solid interfaces for the production of the SSBs are also assessed.

Abstract
Lithium-based batteries with improved safety performance are highly desired. At present, most safety hazard is the consequence of the ignition and flammability of organic liquid electrolytes. Dry ceramic-polymer composite electrolytes are attractive for their merits of non-flammability, reduced gas release, and thermal stability, in addition to their mechanical strength and flexibility. We recently fabricated free-standing solid composite electrolytes made up of polyethylene oxide (PEO), LiBF4 salt, and Li1+xAlxGe2−x(PO4)3 (LAGP). This study is focused on analyzing the impacts of LAGP on the thermal decomposition characteristics in the series of PEO/LiBF4/LAGP composite membranes. It is found that the appropriate amount of LAGP can (1) significantly reduce the organic solvent trapped in the polymer network and (2) increase the peak temperature corresponding to the thermal degradation of the PEO/LiBF4 complex. In the presence of LAGP, although the peak temperature related to the degradation of free PEO is reduced, the portion of free PEO, as well as its decomposition rate, is effectively reduced, resulting in slower gas release.

Abstract
A solid-state lithium metal battery of low capacity fade is acquired using the electrolyte membrane of a polyurethane-acrylate-thiocarbonate (PUAT) oligomer, macromolecules, lithium salt, and an oxide additive. Two types of composite electrolytes have been prepared: the free-standing electrolyte (PUAT-FS) and the electrode-coated electrolyte (PUAT-EC). Featuring a less PUAT content and a finer granular size, PUAT-FS is less ion-conductive than PUAT-EC; 0.44 mS cm-1 in contrast to 0.51 mS cm-1 at room temperature. Nonetheless, the lithium iron phosphate battery of PUAT-FS is far superior to that of PUAT-EC in terms of cycling stability. When cycled at 0.1C and room temperature, the PUAT-FS battery reaches a maximum discharge capacity of 169.7 mAh g-1 at its 20th cycle and decreases to 141.0 mAh g-1 at the 500th cycle, 83.1% retention. The capacity fading rate of the PUAT-FS battery is 0.034% per cycle at 0.1C, significantly less than that of the PUAT-EC battery, 0.138% per cycle. Other maximum capacities and fading rates of the PUAT-FS battery are 152.5 mAh g-1 and 0.050% per cycle at 0.2C in 800 cycles and 126.1 mAh g-1 and 0.051% per cycle at 0.5C in 1000 cycles. These features of a low fading rate and high capacity are attributed to a balanced ratio of oligomer to macromolecule (1:1 w/w) in the free-standing electrolyte and the sulfur-containing oligomer.

Abstract
An all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery (ASSLSB) is a promising candidate for post-Li-ion battery technologies with high energy densities and good safety performance. However, the intrinsic insulating nature of sulfur requires triple-phase contact with an ionic conductor and an electronic conductor for electrochemical reactions, which decreases the amount of active surface and lowers the charge-transfer efficiency. In this work, a double-phase interface constructed from a mixed ionic/electronic conductor is proposed to enhance the solid-state electrochemical reaction of sulfur. By employing lithium lanthanum titanium oxide/carbon (LLTO/C) nanofibers with mixed ionic/electronic conductivity, enhanced charge-transfer behavior is realized at the sulfur-LLTO/C double-phase interface, compared to the traditional triple-phase interface. As a result, high sulfur utilization and excellent rate performance are achieved. And the facilitated charge transfer shows great potential to lower the operating temperature and improve the sulfur content for practical applications of ASSLSBs. Cycle performance is also enhanced due to the suppressed shuttle effect of polysulfides by the incorporation of the LLTO/C nanofibers.

Abstract
Lithium batteries utilizing solid-state electrolytes have the potential to alleviate their safety hazard, reduce packaging volume, and enable flexible design. Polymer/ceramic composite electrolytes (CPE) are more attractive because the combination is capable of remedying and/or transcending individual constituent’ properties. Recently, we fabricated a series of free-standing composite electrolyte membranes consisting of Li1.4Al0.4Ge1.6(PO4)3 (LAGP), polyethylene oxide (PEO), and lithium salts. In this study, we characterized thermal and mechanical properties of the CPEs with two representative lithium salts, i.e., lithium boron fluoride (LiBF4) and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). We found that the type of lithium salt can prevail the LAGP ceramic loadings on altering the key properties. It is observed that LiTFSI, compared with LiBF4, causes more significant reduction in terms of the crystallinity of PEO, melting transition, and mechanical strengths. The differences in these aspects can be ascribed to the interactions between the polymer matrix and anions in lithium salt.

Abstract
High-quality solid electrolyte is the key to developing high-performance all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASSLMBs). Herein, we report a thin composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) based on nanosized Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (N-LLZTO) and the PVDF-HFP matrix through a simple film-casting method. N-LLZTO induces partial dehydrofluorination of the poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) matrix that activates the coordination of Li+ with PVDF-HFP and LLZTO due to Lewis acid-base interactions, which facilitates dissociation of lithium salt to increase the Li+ carrier density. As a result, the as-fabricated composite polymer electrolyte with a 20 wt % N-LLZTO (CPE-20) membrane possesses high ionic conductivity (1.7 × 10-4 S cm-1), a high lithium-ion transference number (0.57), a wide electrochemical window (∼4.8 V), and good thermal stability. Moreover, the CPE-20 membrane displays excellent electrochemical stability to suppress the lithium dendrite and serves more than 2000 h. The solid-state Li|CPE-20|LiFePO4 pouch cells exhibit excellent cycling and rate performance, as well as high energy density. This study presents an effective strategy to design promising solid-state electrolyte for next-generation ASSLMBs.

Abstract
Based on the advantages of intrinsic safety, flexibility, and good interfacial contact with electrodes, a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is a promising electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries, compared with the conventional liquid electrolyte. However, the unstable electrochemical performance and the liquid state in a microscale limit the commercial application of GPE. Herein, we developed a novel gel polymer electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries by blending methyl methacrylate (MMA), N-butyl-N-methyl-piperidinium (Pyr14TFSI), and lithium salts in a solvent-free procedure, with SiO2 and Li0.33La0.56TiO3 (LLTO) additives. The prepared MMA-Pyr14TFSI-3 wt % LLTO electrolyte shows the best electrochemical performance and obtains a high ion conductivity of 4.51 × 10-3 S cm-1 at a temperature of 60 °C. Notably, the electrochemical window could be stable up to 5.0 V vs Li+/Li. Moreover, the batteries with the GPE also show excellent electrochemical performance. In the LiFePO4/MMA-Pyr14TFSI-3 wt % LLTO/Li cell, a high initial discharge capacity was achieved 150 mA h g-1 at 0.5C with a Coulombic efficiency over 99% and maintaining a good capacity retention of 90.7% after 100 cycles at 0.5C under 60 °C. In addition, the physical properties of the GPE have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry (TG).

Abstract
Using a three-dimensional (3D) Li-ion conducting ceramic network, such as Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) garnet-type oxide conductor, has proved to be a promising strategy to form continuous Li ion transfer paths in a polymer-based composite. However, the 3D network produced by brittle ceramic conductor nanofibers fails to provide sufficient mechanical adaptability. In this manuscript, we reported a new 3D ion-conducting network, which is synthesized from highly loaded LLZO nanoparticles reinforced conducting polymer nanofibers, by creating a lightweight continuous and interconnected LLZO-enhanced 3D network to outperform conducting heavy and brittle ceramic nanofibers to offer a new design principle of composite electrolyte membrane featuring all-round properties in mechanical robustness, structural flexibility, high ionic conductivity, lightweight, and high surface area.

Abstract
The integration of Li2 S6 within a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based polymer electrolyte is demonstrated to improve the polymer electrolyte's ionic conductivity because the strong interplay between O2- (PEO) and Li+ from Li2 S6 reduces the crystalline volume within the PEO. The Li/electrolyte interface is stabilized by the in situ formation of an ultra-thin Li2 S/Li2 S2 layer via the reaction between Li2 S6 and lithium metal, which increases the ionic transport at the interface and suppresses lithium dendrite growth. A symmetric Li/Li cell with the Li2 S6 -integrated composite electrolyte has excellent cyclability and a high critical current density of 0.9 mA cm-2 at 40 °C. Impressive electrochemical performance is demonstrated with all-solid-state Li/LiFePO4 and high-voltage Li/LiNi0.8 Mn0.1 Co0.1 O2 cells at 40 °C.

Abstract
The fragile electrolyte/Li interface is responsible for the long-lasting consumption of Li resources and fast failure of Li metal batteries. The polymer artificial interface with high mechanical flexibility is a promising candidate to maintain the stability of the electrolyte/Li interface; however, sluggish Li-ion transportation of the conventional polymer interface hinders the application. In this work, Li-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-ADP-Li3), which is synthesized by covalent grafting of adenosine 5'-diphosphate lithium on GO nanosheets, is used as a functional additive to improve the Li-ion conductivity of the polymer artificial interface based on PVDF-HFP/LiTFSI. The enhanced Li-ion conductivity is contributed by accelerated Li-ion hopping at the surface between polymer chains and functionalized GO as well as the reduced crystallization degree of PVDF-HFP by this novel additive. The use of this modified polymer as an artificial interface on Li foil enables highly reversible Li stripping/plating and a high capacity retention of 78.4% after 150 cycles for a 0.2 A h Li metal pouch cell (Li/NCM811, strictly following practical conditions). This Li-grafted strategy on GO sheets provides an alternative for designing a compatible electrolyte/Li interface for practical Li metal batteries.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium metal batteries built with composite polymer electrolytes using cubic garnets as active fillers are particularly attractive owing to their high energy density, easy manufacturing and inherent safety. However, the uncontrollable formation of intractable contaminant on garnet surface usually aggravates poor interfacial contact with polymer matrix and deteriorates Li+ pathways. Here we report a rational designed intermolecular interaction in composite electrolytes that utilizing contaminants as reaction initiator to generate Li+ conducting ether oligomers, which further emerge as molecular cross-linkers between inorganic fillers and polymer matrix, creating dense and homogeneous interfacial Li+ immigration channels in the composite electrolytes. The delicate design results in a remarkable ionic conductivity of 1.43×10-3 S cm-1 and an unprecedented 1000 cycles with 90 % capacity retention at room temperature is achieved for the assembled solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) hold great promise toward safe lithium metal batteries with high energy density, due to integration of the merits of polymer matrixes and fillers. Rational design of filler nanostructures has attracted increasing attention for improving the ionic transport of CSEs in solid batteries. In this work, we fabricated open-structured Li0.33La0.557TiO3 (LLTO) nanotubes (NTs) as ion-conductive fillers in CSEs by a gradient electrospinning method for the first time. Different from nanoparticles (NPs) and nanowires (NWs), our nanotubes are composed of connected small NPs, which offer three-dimensional (3D) Li+-accessible pathways, large polymer/filler interfacial ionic conduction regions, and enhanced wettability against the polymer matrix. As a result, the solid electrolytes based on LLTO NTs and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) can display a high ionic conductivity of up to 3.6 × 10-4 S cm-1 and a wide electrochemical window of 5 V at room temperature (RT). Furthermore, Li-Li symmetric cells using the LLTO NTs/PAN CSE can work stably over 1000 h with a polarization of 20 mV. LiFePO4-Li full cells exhibit a high capacity of 142.5 mAh g-1 with a capacity retention of 90% at 0.5 C after 100 cycles. All of these results demonstrate that the design of open-structured nanotubes as fillers is a promising strategy for high-performance solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Sulfide-based lithium (Li)-ion conductors represent one of the most popular solid electrolytes (SEs) for solid-state Li metal batteries (SSLMBs) with high safety. However, the commercial application of sulfide SEs is significantly limited by their chemical instability in air and electrochemical instability with electrode materials (metallic Li anode and oxide cathodes). To address these difficulties, here, we design and successfully demonstrate a novel sulfide-incorporated composite electrolyte (SCE) through the combination of inorganic sulfide Li argyrodite (Li7PS6) with poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) polymer. In this composite structure, Li7PS6 is embedded in PVDF-HFP polymer matrix, making the SCE flexible and air-stable and achieve great chemical and electrochemical stability. Meanwhile, the presence of sulfide facilitates Li-ion transport in SCE, leading to a superior room-temperature ionic conductivity of 1.1 × 10-4 S cm-1. Using the SCE with enhanced stability while maintaining high conductivity, Li||Li symmetric cells achieved stable cycling up to 1000 h at 0.2 mA cm-2. In addition, LiFePO4 (LFP)||SCE||Li cells can deliver an impressive specific capacity of 160 mAh g-1 over 150 cycles. These features indicate that Li7PS6/PVDF-HFP SCE is a promising candidate to contribute to the practical development of SSLMBs.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) have been paid increasing attention because of the better security compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries with flammable organic electrolytes. However, the poor ion transport between the cathode materials greatly hinders the capacity performance of ASSLBs. Herein, an electron/ion dual-conductive electrode framework is proposed for superior performance ASSLBs. Highly electronic conductive reduced graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes interconnect with active materials in the cathodes, constructing a three-dimensional continuous electron transport network. The composite electrolyte penetrates into the porous structure of the electrode, forming a consecutive ionic conductive framework. Furthermore, the thin electrolyte film formed on the surface of the cathode effectively lowers the interfacial resistance with the electrolyte membrane. Highly electron/ion conductive electrodes, combined with the polyethylene oxide-Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (PEO-LLZTO) composite electrolyte, show excellent capacity performance for both LiFePO4 and sulfur (lithium-sulfur battery) active materials. In addition, the LiFePO4 cathode demonstrates superior capacity performance and rate capability at room temperature. Furthermore, the relationship between the low Coulombic efficiency and Li dendrite growth has been revealed in this work. An effective layer is formed on the surface of Li metal by the simple modification of cupric fluoride (CuF2), which can stabilize the electrolyte/anode interface. Finally, high-performance ASSLBs with high Coulombic efficiency can be achieved.

Abstract
Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) is considered to have great application prospects in all-solid-state li-ion batteries. However, the application of PEO-based SPEs is hindered by the relatively low ionic conductivity, which strongly depends on its crystallinity and density of grain boundaries. In this work, a simple and effective press-rolling method is applied to reduce the crystallinity of PEO-based SPEs for the first time. With the rolled PEO-based SPE, the LiFePO4/SPE/Li all-solid li-ion battery delivers a superior rechargeable specific capacity of 162.6 mAh g-1 with a discharge-charge voltage gap of 60 mV at a current density of 0.2 C with a much lower capacity decay rate. The improvement of electrochemical properties can be attributed to the press-rolling method, leading to a doubling conductivity and reduced activation energy compared with that of electrolyte prepared by traditional cast method. The present work provides an effective and easy-to-use grain reforming method for SPE, worthy of future application.

Abstract
Solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) that combine the advantages of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and inorganic ceramic electrolytes (ICEs) present acceptable ionic conductivity, high mechanical strength, and favorable interfacial contact with electrodes, which greatly improve the electrochemical performance of all-solid-state batteries compared to single SPEs and ICEs. However, there are many challenges to overcome before the practical application of SCEs, including the low ionic conductivity less than 10-3 S cm-1 at ambient temperature, poor interfacial stability, and high interfacial resistance, which greatly restrict the room temperature performance. Herein, the advances of SCEs applied in all-solid-state lithium batteries are presented, including the Li ion migration mechanism of SCEs, the strategies to enhance the ionic conductivity of SCEs by various morphologies of ICEs, and construction methods of the low resistance and stable interfaces of SCEs with both cathode and anode. Finally, some typical applications of SCEs in lithium batteries are summarized and future development directions are prospected. This work presents how it is quite significant to further enhance the ionic conductivity of SCEs by developing the novel SPEs with the special morphology of ICEs for advanced all-solid-state lithium batteries.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium metal batteries are highly attractive because of their high energy density and inherent safety. However, it is still a great challenge to design the solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivity at room temperature and good electrode/electrolyte interfacial compatibility simultaneously in a facile and scalable way. In this work, for the first time, the combination of salt affluent Poly(ethylene oxide) with Li6.75La3Zr1.75Ta0.25O12 nanofibers was designed and intensively evaluated. The synergistic effect of each component in the electrolyte enhances the ionic conductivity to 2.13 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C and exhibits a high transference number of 0.57. The composite electrolyte possesses superior interfacial stability against Li metal for over 680 h in Li symmetric cells even at a relatively high current density of 2 mA cm-2. The all-solid-state batteries employing the solid electrolytes exhibit excellent cycling stability at room temperature and superior safety performance. This work proposes a brand-new strategy to design and fabricate solid electrolytes in a versatile way for room-temperature all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries have had a tremendous impact on several sectors of our society; however, the intrinsic limitations of Li-ion chemistry limits their ability to meet the increasing demands of developing more advanced portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid-scale energy storage systems. Therefore, battery chemistries beyond Li ions are being intensively investigated and need urgent breakthroughs toward commercial applications, wherein the use of metallic Li is one of the most intuitive choices. Despite several decades of oblivion due to safety concerns regarding the growth of Li dendrites, Li-metal anodes are now poised to be revived because of the advances in investigative tools and globally invested efforts. In this review, we first summarize the existing issues with regard to Li anodes and their underlying reasons and then highlight the recent progress made in the development of high-performance Li anodes. Finally, we propose the persisting challenges and opportunities toward the exploration of practical Li-metal anodes.
