Abstract
Garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) Li-ion solid electrolytes are promising candidates for safe, next-generation solid-state batteries. In this study, we synthesize Ga-doped LLZO (Ga-LLZO) electrolytes using a microwave-assisted solvothermal method followed by low-temperature heat treatment. The nanostructured precursor (<50 nm) produced by the microwave-assisted solvothermal process has a high surface energy, facilitating the reaction for preparing garnet-type Ga-LLZO powders (<800 nm) within a short time (<5 h) at a low calcination temperature (<700 °C). Additionally, the calcined nanostructured Ga-LLZO powder can be sintered to produce a high-density pellet with minimized grain boundaries under moderate sintering conditions (temperature: 1150 °C, duration: 10 h). The optimal doping concentration was determined to be 0.4 mol% Ga, which resulted significantly increased the ionic conductivity (1.04 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 25 °C) and stabilized the cycling performance over 1700 h at 0.4 mA cm-2. This approach demonstrates the potential to synthesize oxide-type solid electrolyte materials with improved properties for solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are under development as high-priority technologies for safe and energy-dense next-generation electrochemical energy storage systems operating over a wide temperature range. Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) exhibit high thermal stability and, in some cases, the ability to prevent dendrite growth through a physical barrier, and compatibility with the "holy grail" metallic lithium. These unique advantages of SSEs have spurred significant research interests during the last decade. Garnet-type SSEs, that is, Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO), are intensively investigated due to their high Li-ion conductivity and exceptional chemical and electrochemical stability against lithium metal anodes. However, poor interfacial contact with cathode materials, undesirable lithium plating along grain boundaries, and moisture-induced chemical degradation greatly hinder the practical implementation of LLZO-based SSEs for SSBs. In this review, the recent advances in synthesis methods, modification strategies, corresponding mechanisms, and applications of garnet-based SSEs in SSBs are critically summarized. Furthermore, a comprehensive evaluation of the challenges and development trends of LLZO-based electrolytes in practical applications is presented to accelerate their development for high-performance SSBs.

Abstract
Garnet-based electrolytes with high ionic conductivity and excellent stability against lithium metal anodes are promising for commercial applications in solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs). However, the further development of SSLBs is inhibited by issues such as low ionic conductivity and uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth. Herein, we report the synthesis of fluorine-doped Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO-F0.2) fibers by electrospinning and the subsequent calcination at high temperatures. The solid composite electrolyte with LLZO-F0.2 exhibits an ionic conductivity of 5.37 × 10-4 S cm-1 and a high lithium-ion transference number of 0.61 at room temperature. Meanwhile, it exhibits lower resistance and more uniform lithium metal stripping and deposition in symmetric cells. The full cell with LiFePO4 cathode exhibits excellent rate capability and cycling stability for 800 cycles at 0.5 C with a discharge specific capacity retention of 97.7%. This fluorine-doped fibrous garnet-type electrolyte provides a viable option for preparing high-performance SSLBs.

Abstract
Li3Y1-xInxCl6 undergoes a phase transition from trigonal to monoclinic via an intermediate orthorhombic phase. Although the trigonal yttrium containing the end member phase, Li3YCl6, synthesized by a mechanochemical route, is known to exhibit stacking fault disorder, not much is known about the monoclinic phases of the serial composition Li3Y1-xInxCl6. This work aims to shed light on the influence of the indium substitution on the phase evolution, along with the evolution of stacking fault disorder using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction together with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, studying the lithium-ion diffusion. Although Li3Y1-xInxCl6 with x ≤ 0.1 exhibits an ordered trigonal structure like Li3YCl6, a large degree of stacking fault disorder is observed in the monoclinic phases for the x ≥ 0.3 compositions. The stacking fault disorder materializes as a crystallographic intergrowth of faultless domains with staggered layers stacked in a uniform layer stacking, along with faulted domains with randomized staggered layer stacking. This work shows how structurally complex even the "simple" series of solid solutions can be in this class of halide-based lithium-ion conductors, as apparent from difficulties in finding a consistent structural descriptor for the ionic transport.

Abstract
Solid-state Na-CO2 batteries are a kind of energy storage devices that can immobilize and convert CO2. They have the advantages of both solid-state batteries and metal-air batteries. High-performance solid electrolyte and electrode materials are important for improving the performance of solid-state Na-CO2 batteries. In this work, we investigate the influence of fluorine doping on the structure and ionic conductivity of Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (NZSP). An ionic conductive solid electrolyte membrane was prepared by compositing the inorganic solid electrolyte Na2.7Zr2Si2PO11.7F0.3 (NZSPF3) with poly(vinylidene fluoride)-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP). It shows an ionic conductivity of up to 2.17 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature, a high sodium ionic transfer number of ∼0.70, a broad electrochemical window of ∼5.18 V, and better mechanical strength. Furthermore, we studied the Na15Sn4/Na composite foil with the ability to inhibit dendrite as the anode for solid-state Na-CO2 batteries. Through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the Na15Sn4 particle has been verified with a strong sodiophilic property, which reduces the nucleation barrier during the deposition process, leading to a lower overpotential. The symmetric cell assembled with the composite solid-state electrolyte NZSPF3-PVDF-HFP and Na15Sn4/Na composite anode can inhibit the growth of Na dendrites effectively and maintain the stability of the whole cell structure. Solid-state Na-CO2 batteries assembled with Ru-carbon nanotube (Ru-CNTs) as cathode catalysts exhibit a high discharge capacity of 6371.8 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1, excellent cycling stability for 1100 h, and good rate performance. This work provides a promising strategy for designing high-performance solid-state Na-CO2 batteries.

Abstract
A systematic study was performed to investigate the effect of the sintering temperature, sintering duration, and aluminum doping on the crystalline structure and ionic conductivity of the Li1+xAl1+xSi1-xO4 (LASO; x = 0-0.25) solid electrolyte. There was a strong indication that an increase in the sintering temperature and sintering time increased the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. In particular, the doping concentration and composition ratio (Li1+xAl1+xSi1-xO4; x = 0-0.25) were found to be crucial factors for achieving high ionic conductivity. The sintering time of 18 h and lithium concentration influenced the lattice parameters of the LASO electrolyte, resulting in a significant improvement in ionic conductivity from 2.11 × 10-6 (for pristine LASO) to 1.07 × 10-5 S cm-1. An increase in the lithium concentration affected the stoichiometry, and it facilitated a smoother Li-ion transfer process since lithium served as an ion-conducting bridge between LASO grains.

Abstract
Efficient recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is significant for solving environmental problems and promoting resource conservation. Economical recycling of LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries is extremely challenging due to the inexpensive production of LFP. Herein, we report a preoxidation combine with cation doping regeneration strategy to regenerate spent LiFePO4 (SLFP) with severely deteriorated. The binder, conductive agent, and residual carbon in SLFP are effectively removed through preoxidation treatment, which lays the foundation for the uniform and stable regeneration of LFP. Mg2+ doping is adopted to promote the diffusion efficiency of lithium ions, reduces the charge-transfer impedance, and further improves the electrochemical performance of the regenerated LFP. The discharge capacity of SLFP with severe deterioration recovers successfully from 43.2 to 136.9 mA h g-1 at 0.5 C. Compared with traditional methods, this technology is simple, economical, and environment-friendly. It provided an efficient way for recycling SLFP materials.

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
Ga-doped garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (Ga-LLZO) ceramics have long been recognized as ideal electrolyte candidates for all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, in this study, it is shown that Ga-LLZO easily and promptly cracks in contact with molten lithium during the ASSLB assembly. This can be mainly ascribed to two aspects: (i) lithium captures O atoms and reduces Ga ions of the Ga-LLZO matrix, leading to a band-gap closure from >5 to <2 eV and a structural collapse from cubic to tetrahedral; and (ii) the in situ-formed LiGaO2 impurity phase has severe side reactions with lithium, resulting in huge stress release along the grain boundaries. It is also revealed that, while the former process consumes hours to take effect, the latter one is immediate and accounts for the crack propagation of Ga-LLZO electrolytes. A minute SiO2 is preadded during the synthesis of Ga-LLZO and found effective in eliminating the LiGaO2 impurity phase. The SiO2-modified Ga-LLZO solid electrolytes display excellent thermomechanical and electrochemical stabilities against lithium metals and well-reserved ionic conductivities, which was further confirmed by half-cells and full batteries. This study contributes to the understanding of the stability of garnet electrolytes and promotes their potential commercial applications in ASSLBs.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. Their performance critically depends on the capacity and cycling stability of the cathodic layer. Cells with a garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) electrolyte can show high areal storage capacity. However, they commonly suffer from performance degradation during cycling. For fully inorganic cells based on LiCoO2 (LCO) as cathode active material and LLZO, the electrochemically induced interface amorphization has been identified as an origin of the performance degradation. This study shows that the amorphized interface can be recrystallized by thermal recovery (annealing) with nearly full restoration of the cell performance. The structural and chemical changes at the LCO/LLZO heterointerface associated with degradation and recovery were analyzed in detail and justified by thermodynamic modeling. Based on this comprehensive understanding, this work demonstrates a facile way to recover more than 80% of the initial storage capacity through a thermal recovery (annealing) step. The thermal recovery can be potentially used for cost-efficient recycling of ceramic all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
With the merits of high energy density, light weight, and low electrode potential, lithium metal anodes (LMAs) have lately sparked worldwide attention in the field of batteries. However, their low Coulombic efficiency, tremendous volume expansion, and serious dendrite growth make lithium metal batteries (LMBs) unsuitable for a wide variety of applications. Moreover, when lithium dendrite crosses the electrolyte and reaches the cathode material, it may cause short circuit and safety issues for batteries. Herein, to accelerate the development of LMBs, we give a brief summary of the dendrite growth mechanisms in both liquid and solid systems of electrolytes. In particular, various modification approaches to dendrite-free lithium metal batteries are discussed. Furthermore, advanced in situ characterization techniques for the real-time observation of lithium dendrite growth are presented. To address the application issues, various potential research routes for improving the performance of LMBs are provided as well.

Abstract
Halide electrolytes are rising stars among inorganic solid-state electrolytes due to their high ionic conductivity and good compatibility with high-voltage electrodes. However, their traditional synthesis methods including ball-milling annealing are usually energy-intensive and time-consuming compared with liquid-mediated routes. What's more, the only method in aqueous solution is not perfect considering detrimental effect of trace water for battery performances. Here, we propose a novel ethanol-mediated synthesis route for superionic Li3InCl6 electrolyte via energy-friendly dissolution and post-treatment. The organics in ethanol-mediated precursor disappear in form of light gas during post-treatment. And Li3InCl6 with best thermal stability and ionic conductivity (0.79 mS cm-1, 20 °C) can be successfully prepared after postheating for 3 h at 200 °C. Besides, it is also found that the ionic conductivity of Li3InCl6 is positively correlated with peak intensity ratio of (131) plane/(001) plane since crystal plane and preferred orientation can directly affect polyhedrons through which lithium ions migrate in crystalline conductors. The assembled LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2/Li3InCl6/Li10GeP2S12/Li-In cell presents high initial charge capacity of 174.8 mAh g-1 at 0.05 C and a good rate performance of 122.9 mAh g-1 at 1 C. Especially, the retention rate of charge capacity can reach 94.8% after 200 cycles. The ethanol-mediated synthesized Li3InCl6 is a novel promising electrolyte which can be coupled with high-voltage cathode for the application of all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries based on sulfide solid electrolytes have attracted much attention because of their high ionic conductivity. Li10SnP2S12 (LSPS) has the same structure as Li10GeP2S12, and there is little difference in ionic conductivity between them, but the preparation cost of LSPS is lower. Here, Cl doping is used to improve the electrochemical stability of the LSPS to the anode and the Li-ion transport performance. Among them, Li9.9SnP2S11.9Cl0.1 had a high ion conductivity of 2.62 mS cm-1 after cold pressure. On the crystal structure, X-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement indicated that the Cl-substituted portion S is successfully incorporated into the lattice of the LSPS, increasing Li-ion vacancies and reducing the distance between adjacent Li-ion distributed along the c-axis, these are conducive to Li-ion transmission. The temperature-dependent AC impedance experiment and density functional theory calculation show that doping with Cl makes Li9.9SnP2S11.9Cl0.1 have a lower activation energy. The assembled lithium symmetric batteries show that the doping of Cl promotes the stability of the interface between LSPS and the lithium metal anode. The charge-discharge tests of all-solid-state batteries using Li9.9SnP2S11.9Cl0.1 as electrolyte have confirmed that Cl doping can improve the electrochemical performance of LSPS, which have a higher specific capacity and cycle life.

Abstract
Real-time observation of the electrochemical mechanistic behavior at various scales offers new insightful information to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). As complementary to the X-ray-based techniques and electron microscopy-based methodologies, neutron scattering provides additional and unique advantages in materials research, owing to the different interactions with atomic nuclei. The non-Z-dependent elemental contrast, in addition to the high penetration ability and weak interaction with matters, makes neutron scattering an advanced probing tool for the in operando mechanistic studies of LIBs. The neutron-based techniques, such as neutron powder diffraction, small-angle neutron scattering, neutron reflectometry, and neutron imaging, have their distinct functionalities and characteristics regimes. These result in their scopes of application distributed in different battery components and covering the full spectrum of all aspects of LIBs. The review surveys the state-of-the-art developments of real-time investigation of the dynamic evolutions of electrochemically active compounds at various scales using neutron techniques. The atomic-scale, the mesoscopic-scale, and at the macroscopic-scale within LIBs during electrochemical functioning provide insightful information to battery researchers. The authors envision that this review will popularize the applications of neutron-based techniques in LIB studies and furnish important inspirations to battery researchers for the rational design of the new generation of LIBs.

Abstract
Here, we, for the first time, report on the simultaneous enhancement in cubic phase stability and Li-ion conductivity of garnet-type solid electrolytes (SEs) by adding excess Li/Al. The excess Al/Li creates very large grains of up to 170 μm via the segregation of Al at the grain boundaries and enables preferential Al occupation at 96h sites over 24d sites, a behavior contrary to previous observations. The resulting SE shows improved Li-ion conductivity due to the large grain size and less blocking Li pathway caused by different preferential Al occupation. Surprisingly, it is observed that the cubic phase of the garnet-type SE is transformed to the tetragonal phase on the surface and in the bulk under the applied voltage, and the preferential Al occupation enables its cubic phase stability. Under battery operating conditions, the LLZO SE with excess Li/Al can maintain high ionic conductivity due to the cubic phase stability and large grain size. We clearly demonstrate that the cubic phase stability and ionic conductivity of LLZO can be simultaneously improved by excess Li/Al without any post-treatments. The findings and understanding will provide new insights into practical use of the garnet-type SEs for advanced all solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Application of halide electrolytes including Li3InCl6 in all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries is still challenging due to the instability with lithium metal and limited ionic conductivity compared with liquid electrolytes and some sulfides. Here, through Zr substitution, a novel Li2.9In0.9Zr0.1Cl6 electrolyte is synthesized through the ball milling and subsequent annealing process. The ionic conductivity of Li2.9In0.9Zr0.1Cl6 (1.54 mS cm-1 at 20 °C) is nearly double that of original Li3InCl6 (0.88 mS cm-1 at 20 °C). Such conductivity enhancement is mainly attributed to the enlarged interplanar spacing and lattice volume, improved concentration of lithium-ion vacancies created by introducing higher-valence Zr4+, and the change of the preferred orientation from the (001) plane to the (131) plane. As a result, the all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASSLMBs) assembled with the Li2.9In0.9Zr0.1Cl6 electrolyte also demonstrate a higher charge/discharge capacity, better cycle stability, and rate performance during cycling without an extra lithium source at the anode side.

Abstract
Hybrid electrolyte materials comprising polymer-ionic salt matrixes embedded with garnet particles constitute a promising class of materials for the realization of all-solid-state batteries. In addition to providing solutions to the safety issues inherent to current liquid electrolytes, hybrid polymer electrolytes offer advantages over other solid-state electrolytes. This is because their functional properties such as ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability, and mechanical and thermal properties can be tailored to a particular application by independently optimizing the properties of the constituent materials. This independent optimization permits the rational design of solid-state electrolytes, thereby solving the current bottlenecks that prevent their practical implementation into battery devices. This Mini-Review starts with a survey of solid-state electrolytes, focusing on their materials and ion transport limitations. Next, we summarize the current understanding of transport mechanisms in composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) with the purpose of identifying materials' solutions for further improving their properties. The overall goal of the Mini-Review is to foster heightened research interest in these hybrid structures to rapidly advance development of future all-solid-state battery devices.

Abstract
Although solid-state Li-metal batteries (LMBs) featuring polymer-based solid electrolytes might one day replace conventional Li-ion batteries, the poor Li-ion conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes at low temperatures has hindered their practical applications. Herein, we describe the first example of using a co-precipitation method in a Taylor flow reactor to produce the metal hydroxides of both the Ga/F dual-doped Li7La3Zr2O12 (Ga/F-LLZO) ceramic electrolyte precursors and the Li2MoO4-modified Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (LMO@T-LNCM 811) cathode materials for LMBs. The Li/Nafion (LiNf)-coated Ga/F-LLZO (LiNf@Ga/F-LLZO) ceramic filler was finely dispersed in the poly(vinylidene fluoride)/polyacrylonitrile/lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide)/succinonitrile matrix to give a trilayer composite polymer electrolyte (denoted "Tri-CPE") through a simple solution-casting. The bulk ionic conductivity of the Tri-CPE at room temperature was approximately 4.50 × 10-4 S cm-1 and exhibited a high Li+ ion transference number (0.84). It also exhibits a broader electrochemical window of 1-5.04 V versus Li/Li+. A full cell based on a CR2032 coin cell containing the LMO@T-LNCM811-based composite cathode, when cycled under 1 C/1 C at room temperature for 300 cycles, achieved an average Columbic efficiency of 99.4% and a capacity retention of 89.8%. This novel fabrication strategy for Tri-CPE structures has potential applications in the preparation of highly safe high-voltage cathodes for solid-state LMBs.

Abstract
All-Solid-State Batteries (ASSBs) that use oxide-based solid electrolytes (SEs) have been considered as a promising energy-storage platform to meet an increasing demand for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with improved energy density and superior safety. However, high interfacial resistance between particles in the composite electrode and between electrodes and the use of Li metal in the ASBS hinder their practical utilization. Here, we review recent research progress on oxide-based SEs for the ASSBs with respect to the use of Li metal. We especially focus on research progress on garnet-type solid electrolytes (Li7La3Zr2O12) because they have high ionic conductivity, good chemical stability with Li metal, and a wide electrochemical potential window. This review will also discuss Li dendritic behavior in the oxide-based SEs and its relationship with critical current density (CCD). We close with remarks on prospects of ASSB.

Abstract
LiFePO4 (LFP) is one of the cathode materials widely used in lithium ion batteries at present, but its electronic conductivity is still unsatisfactory, which will affect its electrochemical performance. Ga-coated LiFePO4@C (LFP@C) samples were prepared by a hydrothermal method and ultrasonic dispersion technology. Ga has good electrical conductivity and can rapidly conduct electrons within the LFP cathode material under the synergistic effect with C coating, thus improving the dynamic performance of the LFP cathode material. The experimental results show that LFP@C/Ga samples exhibit good electrochemical performance. Compared with the pristine LFP@C, the 1.0 wt % Ga-coated LFP@C cathode exhibits excellent discharge capacity and cycle stability. The former shows a discharge capacity of 152.6 mA h g-1 at 1 C after 100 cycles and a discharge capacity retention rate of 98.77%, while pristine LFP@C shows only a discharge capacity of 114.5 mA h g-1 and a capacity retention rate of 95.84% after 100 cycles at 1 C current density.

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.
