Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as promising materials for ion conduction due to their highly tunable structures and excellent electrochemical stability. This review paper explores the mechanisms of ion conduction in COFs, focusing on how these materials facilitate ion transport across their ordered structures, which is crucial for applications such as solid electrolytes in batteries and fuel cells. We discuss the design strategies employed to enhance ion conductivity, including pore size optimization, functionalization with ionic groups, and the incorporation of solvent molecules and salts. Additionally, we examine the various applications of ion-conductive COFs, particularly in energy storage and conversion technologies, highlighting recent advancements and future directions in this field. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on ion-conductive COFs, offering insights into their potential to design highly ion-conductive COFs considering not only fundamental studies but also practical perspectives for advanced electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Lithium-based batteries (LBBs) have been highly researched and recognized as a mature electrochemical energy storage (EES) system in recent years. However, their stability and effectiveness are primarily confined to room temperature conditions. At temperatures significantly below 0 °C or above 60 °C, LBBs experience substantial performance degradation. Under such challenging extreme contexts, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) emerge as a promising complementary technology, distinguished by their fast dynamics at low-temperature regions and superior safety under elevated temperatures. Notably, developing SIBs suitable for wide-temperature usage still presents significant challenges, particularly for specific applications such as electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and deep-space/polar explorations, which requires a thorough understanding of how SIBs perform under different temperature conditions. By reviewing the development of wide-temperature SIBs, the influence of temperature on the parameters related to battery performance, such as reaction constant, charge transfer resistance, etc., is systematically and comprehensively analyzed. The review emphasizes challenges encountered by SIBs in both low and high temperatures while exploring recent advancements in SIB materials, specifically focusing on strategies to enhance battery performance across diverse temperature ranges. Overall, insights gained from these studies will drive the development of SIBs that can handle the challenges posed by diverse and harsh climates.

Abstract
Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) and related ceramic solid electrolytes feature excellent stability and reasonable ionic conductivity, but processing remains challenging. High-temperature co-sintering is required for successful integration with the electrode, which is energetically costly and can lead to unacceptable cathode degradation. The introduction of dopants can promote lower-temperature processing by improving deformability and disrupting lattice integrity; however, an unbiased, systematic study correlating these properties to the dopant chemistry and composition is lacking. Here, we rely on a set of static and dynamic metrics derived from first-principles simulations to estimate the impact of doping on LLZO processability by quantifying LLZO structural deformability. We considered three distinct dopants (Al, Ba, and Ta) as representatives of substitutional incorporation on Li, La, and Zr sites. Our descriptors indicate that doping in general positively impacts lattice deformability, although significant sensitivities to dopant identity and concentration are observed. Amongst the tested dopants, Al doping (on the Li site) appears to have the greatest impact, as signaled across nearly the entire set of computed features. We suggest that these proxy descriptors, once properly calibrated against well-controlled experiments, could enable the use of first-principles simulations to computationally screen new ceramic electrolyte compositions with improved processability.

Abstract
Corrosion inhibitor additives are considered to be one of the effective methods to slow down the corrosion of metals, but the corrosion inhibitors will decompose and lose their effect in a long-term corrosive environment. In this work, a smart corrosion inhibitor carrier 2-mercaptobenzimidazole-Zn2+-polydopamine@graphite (MZPG) with excellent pH response was designed and synthesized using a one-pot method. This corrosion inhibitor carrier not only has a very high 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) loading capacity (38.0%) but also maintains a very low MBI activity to inhibit the decomposition of MZPG in the environment as much as possible. The MZPG/epoxy (MZPG/EP) coatings prepared by the spraying method showed excellent mechanical properties. Electrochemical and salt spray tests showed that the MZPG/EP coatings (1.20 × 1010 Ω·cm2) have excellent corrosion resistance with Rp values up to 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of the EP coating (1.25 × 107 Ω·cm2). Notably, the MZPG/EP coatings maintained good corrosion resistance under acidic conditions due to the pH-responsive release of corrosion inhibitors. This is of great significance for the future development of coatings for highly corrosive environments.

Abstract
Inorganic all-solid-state sodium batteries (IASSSBs) are emerged as promising candidates to replace commercial lithium-ion batteries in large-scale energy storage systems due to their potential advantages, such as abundant raw materials, robust safety, low price, high-energy density, favorable reliability and stability. Inorganic sodium solid electrolytes (ISSEs) are an indispensable component of IASSSBs, gaining significant attention. Herein, this review begins by discussing the fundamentals of ISSEs, including their ionic conductivity, mechanical property, chemical and electrochemical stabilities. It then presents the crystal structures of advanced ISSEs (e.g., β/β''-alumina, NASICON, sulfides, complex hydride and halide electrolytes) and the related issues, along with corresponding modification strategies. The review also outlines effective approaches for forming intimate interfaces between ISSEs and working electrodes. Finally, current challenges and critical perspectives for the potential developments and possible directions to improve interfacial contacts for future practical applications of ISSEs are highlighted. This comprehensive review aims to advance the understanding and development of next-generation rechargeable IASSSBs.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SEs) have attracted overwhelming attention as a promising alternative to traditional organic liquid electrolytes (OLEs) for high-energy-density sodium-metal batteries (SMBs), owing to their intrinsic incombustibility, wider electrochemical stability window (ESW), and better thermal stability. Among various kinds of SEs, inorganic solid-state electrolytes (ISEs) stand out because of their high ionic conductivity, excellent oxidative stability, and good mechanical strength, rendering potential utilization in safe and dendrite-free SMBs at room temperature. However, the development of Na-ion ISEs still remains challenging, that a perfect solution has yet to be achieved. Herein, we provide a comprehensive and in-depth inspection of the state-of-the-art ISEs, aiming at revealing the underlying Na+ conduction mechanisms at different length scales, and interpreting their compatibility with the Na metal anode from multiple aspects. A thorough material screening will include nearly all ISEs developed to date, i.e., oxides, chalcogenides, halides, antiperovskites, and borohydrides, followed by an overview of the modification strategies for enhancing their ionic conductivity and interfacial compatibility with Na metal, including synthesis, doping and interfacial engineering. By discussing the remaining challenges in ISE research, we propose rational and strategic perspectives that can serve as guidelines for future development of desirable ISEs and practical implementation of high-performance SMBs.

Abstract
High performance alkali metal anode solid-state batteries require solid/solid interfaces with fast ion transfer that are morphologically and chemically stable upon electrochemical cycling. Void formation at the alkali metal/solid-state electrolyte interface during alkali metal stripping is responsible for constriction resistances and hotspots that can facilitate dendrite propagation and failure. Both externally applied pressures (35-400 MPa) and temperatures above the melting point of the alkali metal have been shown to improve the interfacial contact with the solid electrolyte, preventing the formation of voids. However, the extreme pressure and temperature conditions required can be difficult to meet for commercial solid-state battery applications. In this review, we highlight the importance of interfacial adhesion or 'wetting' at alkali metal/solid electrolyte interfaces for achieving solid-state batteries that can withstand high current densities without cell failure. The intrinsically poor adhesion at metal/ceramic interfaces poses fundamental limitations on many inorganics solid-state electrolyte systems in the absence of applied pressure. Suppression of alkali metal voids can only be achieved for systems with high interfacial adhesion (i. e. 'perfect wetting') where the contact angle between the alkali metal and the solid-state electrolyte surface goes to θ=0°. We identify key strategies to improve interfacial adhesion and suppress void formation including the adoption of interlayers, alloy anodes and 3D scaffolds. Computational modeling techniques have been invaluable for understanding the structure, stability and adhesion of solid-state battery interfaces and we provide an overview of key techniques. Although focused on alkali metal solid-state batteries, the fundamental understanding of interfacial adhesion discussed in this review has broader applications across the field of chemistry and material science from corrosion to biomaterials development.

Abstract
Chalcogenide solid-state electrolytes (SEs) have been regarded as promising candidates for lithium dendrite suppression due to their high ionic conductivity, suitable mechanical strength, and large Li+ ion transference number. However, the wide applications of SEs in pragmatic all-solid-state batteries are still retarded by their limited interface stability, which leads to lithium dendrite growth and formation of interphase with high resistance. In addition, the interphase evolution mechanism between SEs and metallic Li anodes remains unclear. Herein, this work demonstrates that the interfacial stability of Li2S-SiS2-P2S5 SEs can be effectively enhanced by tuning the interphase through LiI incorporation. This strategy contributes to a high ionic conductivity of the SEs and electronic insulation interphase containing LiI. Thus, the 70(60Li2S-28SiS2-12P2S5)-30 LiI SEs prepared by melt-quenching exhibit a high ionic conductivity of 1.74 mS cm-1 at room temperature and a larger critical current density of 1.65 mA cm-2 at 65 °C. The cycling life of the symmetric Li|SEs|Li cell is up to 200 h without significant resistance growth at 0.1 mA cm-2 at room temperature. This enhanced interface stability is revealed to originate from the in situ-formed LiI within the interphase, which prevents continual SEs degradation and suppresses lithium dendrite growth. This work provides a vital understanding of interphase evolution, which is valuable for designing SEs with long cycling stability.

Abstract
All-solid-state sodium batteries utilize earth-abundant elements and are sustainable systems for large-scale energy storage and electric transportation. Replacing flammable carbonate-based electrolytes with solid-state ionic conductors promotes battery safety. Using solid-state electrolytes (SEs) also eliminates the need for packing when fabricating tandem cells, potentially enabling further enhanced energy density. Na3SbS4, a Na+ conductor, remains stable in dry air and shows high Na+ conductivity (σ ≈ 1.0 × 10-3 S/cm) and is thus a promising SE for applications in sodium batteries. However, upon repeated electrochemical cycling, Na3SbS4-containing Na batteries exhibit decaying capacity and limited cycle life, which is likely associated with the decomposition of Na3SbS4 at the electrode/electrolyte interface. This work presents an in-depth analysis of the decomposition chemistry occurring at the Na3SbS4/anode interface using combined in situ Raman and post-mortem characterization. The results indicate that the SbS43- counterion is electrochemically reduced when experiencing Na+ reduction potentials, and this reduction chemistry likely follows multiple pathways. The observed reduction products include SbS33-, the Sb2S74- dimer, the NaSb binary phase, and Na2S. We also observed the irreversibility of the decomposition and, as a consequence, the accumulation of the degradation products over cycles. Also notable is the heterogeneity of this degradation chemistry across the interface. Through the spectroelectrochemical characterizations, we reveal the possible mechanisms of the Na3SbS4 decomposition at the solid electrolyte/anode interface in an operating device.

Abstract
Na-ion battery has the potential to be one of the best types of next-generation energy storage devices by virtue of their cost and sustainability advantages. With the demand for high safety, the replacement of traditional organic electrolytes with polymer electrolytes can avoid electrolyte leakage and thermal instability. Polymer electrolytes, however, suffer from low ionic conductivity and large interfacial impedance. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) represent an excellent balance that combines the advantages of high ionic conductivity, low interfacial impedance, high thermal stability, and flexibility. This short review summarizes the recent progress on gel polymer Na-ion batteries, focusing on different preparation approaches and the resultant physical and electrochemical properties. Reasons for the differences in ionic conductivity, mechanical properties, interfacial properties, and thermal stability are discussed at the molecular level. This Review may offer a deep understanding of sodium-ion GPEs and may guide the design of intermolecular interactions for high-performance gel polymer Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
Solid sodium-ion batteries (SSIBs) are considered as one of the promising energy storage systems because of their high safety and high energy density. However, the sodium metal anode presents poor wettability with a solid electrolyte, resulting in high interface impedance and dendrite growth, which severely limits their application in practice. Herein, a novel liquid film (Na-BP) interface is constructed between sodium and solid electrolyte (Na3Hf2Si2PO12) with an excellent kinetic mass transfer ability and good fluidity, which could guarantee a close contact and fast charge transfer at interface. The symmetric cells with the designed interface show a high-rate and long-cycle performance and could cycle stably more than 1000 and 700 h at 0.2 and 0.5 mA cm-2, respectively. The critical current density of the cells can reach 3.6 mA cm-2 at room temperature, which is the highest value in similar works.

Abstract
Sodium (Na)-based batteries, as the ideal choice of large-scale and low-cost energy storage, have attracted much attention. Na metal anodes with high theoretical specific capacity and low potential are considered to be one of the most promising anodes for next-generation Na-based batteries. However, the high reactivity of Na metal anodes makes the electrode/electrolyte phase unstable, resulting in formation of Na dendrites, short cycle life and safety problems. Herein, the contribution outlines the latest development of Na metal anodes for Na metal batteries. The design strategies for high efficiency utilization of Na metal anodes are elucidated, including sophisticated electrode construction, liquid electrolyte optimization, electrode/electrolyte interface stabilization, and solid electrolyte adaptation. Finally, the future research direction and existing problems are proposed.

Abstract
All-solid-state sodium batteries with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based electrolytes have shown great promise for large-scale energy storage applications. However, the reported PEO-based electrolytes still suffer from a low Na+ transference number and poor ionic conductivity, which mainly result from the simultaneous migration of Na+ and anions, the high crystallinity of PEO, and the low concentration of free Na+. Here, we report a high-performance PEO-based all-solid-state electrolyte for sodium batteries by introducing Na3SbS4 to interact with the TFSI− anion in the salt and decrease the crystallinity of PEO. The optimal PEO/NaTFSI/Na3SbS4 electrolyte exhibits a remarkably enhanced Na+ transference number (0.49) and a high ionic conductivity of 1.33 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 45 °C. Moreover, we found that the electrolyte can largely alleviate Na+ depletion near the electrode surface in symmetric cells and, thus, contributes to stable and dendrite-free Na plating/stripping for 500 h. Furthermore, all-solid-state Na batteries with a 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride cathode exhibit a high capacity retention of 84% after 200 cycles and superior rate performance (up to 10C). Our work develops an effective way to realize a high-performance all-solid-state electrolyte for sodium batteries. A high-performance all-solid-state PEO/NaTFSI/Na3SbS4 electrolyte for sodium batteries is realized owing to the electrostatic interaction between TFSI− in the salt and Na3SbS4, which immobilizes TFSI− anions and promotes the dissociation of NaTFSI.![]()

Abstract
Chalcogenide superionic sodium (Na) conductors have great potential as solid electrolytes (SEs) in all-solid-state Na batteries with advantages of high energy density, safety, and cost effectiveness. The crystal structures and ionically conductive properties of solid Na-ion conductors are strongly influenced by synthetic approaches and processing parameters. Thus, understanding the synthesis process is essential to control the structures and phases and to obtain Na-ion conductors with desirable properties. Thanks to the high-flux and deep-penetrating time-of-flight neutron diffraction (ND), in-situ experiments were able to track real-time structural changes of two chalcogenide SEs (Na3 SbS4 and Na3 SbS3.5 Se0.5 ) during the solid-state synthesis. For these two conductors, the ND results revealed a fast one-step reaction for the synthesis and the molten process when heating up, and the recrystallization as well as the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition up on cooling. Moreover, Se-doping was found to influence the reaction temperatures, lattice parameter, and structure stability based on neutron experimental observations and theoretical simulation. This work presents a detailed structural study using in-situ ND technology for the solid synthesis process of chalcogenide Na-ion conductors, beneficial for the design and synthesis of new solid-state conductors.

Abstract
All-solid-state sodium batteries (ASSBs) have attracted ever-increasing attention due to their enhanced safety, high energy density, and the abundance of raw materials. One of the remaining key issues for the practical ASSB is the lack of good superionic and electrochemical stable solid-state electrolytes (SEs). Design and manufacturing specific functional materials used as high-performance SEs require an in-depth understanding of the transport mechanisms and electrochemical properties of fast sodium-ion conductors on an atomic level. On account of the continuous progress and development of computing and programming techniques, the advanced computational tools provide a powerful and convenient approach to exploit particular functional materials to achieve that aim. Herein, this review primarily focuses on the advanced computational methods and ion migration mechanisms of SEs. Second, we overview the recent progress on state-of-the-art solid sodium-ion conductors, including Na-β-alumina, sulfide-type, NASICON-type, and antiperovskite-type sodium-ion SEs. Finally, we outline the current challenges and future opportunities. Particularly, this review highlights the contributions of the computational studies and their complementarity with experiments in accelerating the study progress of high-performance sodium-ion SEs for ASSBs.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of spent cathode carbon (SCC) with a NaF interface from aluminum electrolysis, and its application as a Na metal anode host. The SCC anode exhibits superior ion conductivity and a high shear modulus. The natural NaF interface on the SCC anode can regulate Na+ transmission and inhibit dendrite growth. Furthermore, the anode can be used to turn waste into treasure through directly using spent cathodic carbon without any chemical processing. The green SCC electrode exhibits a higher flat voltage and better reversibility compared with purified cathode carbon without NaF.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) have been regarded as one of the promising electrochemical energy storage systems to complement Li-ion batteries owing to the low-cost and high safety characteristics. However, the various challenges including the sluggish solid-state diffusion of highly polarizing Mg2+ ions in hosts, and the formation of blocking layers on Mg metal surface have seriously impeded the development of high-performance RMBs. In order to solve these problems toward practical applications of RMBs, a tremendous amount of work on electrodes and electrolytes has been conducted in the last few decades. Creative optimization strategies including the modification of cathodes and anodes such as shielding the charges of divalent Mg2+ , expanding the layers of host materials, and optimizing the interface of electrode-electrolyte are raised to promote the technology. In this review, the detailed description of innovative approaches, representative examples, and facing challenges for developing high-performance electrodes are presented. Based on the review of these strategies, guidelines are provided for future research directions on improving the overall battery performance, especially on the electrodes.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have attracted enormous attention as one of the critical future technologies for safe and high energy batteries. With the emergence of several highly conductive solid electrolytes in recent years, the bottleneck is no longer Li-ion diffusion within the electrolyte. Instead, many ASSBs are limited by their low Coulombic efficiency, poor power performance, and short cycling life due to the high resistance at the interfaces within ASSBs. Because of the diverse chemical/physical/mechanical properties of various solid components in ASSBs as well as the nature of solid-solid contact, many types of interfaces are present in ASSBs. These include loose physical contact, grain boundaries, and chemical and electrochemical reactions to name a few. All of these contribute to increasing resistance at the interface. Here, we present the distinctive features of the typical interfaces and interphases in ASSBs and summarize the recent work on identifying, probing, understanding, and engineering them. We highlight the complicated, but important, characteristics of interphases, namely the composition, distribution, and electronic and ionic properties of the cathode-electrolyte and electrolyte-anode interfaces; understanding these properties is the key to designing a stable interface. In addition, conformal coatings to prevent side reactions and their selection criteria are reviewed. We emphasize the significant role of the mechanical behavior of the interfaces as well as the mechanical properties of all ASSB components, especially when the soft Li metal anode is used under constant stack pressure. Finally, we provide full-scale (energy, spatial, and temporal) characterization methods to explore, diagnose, and understand the dynamic and buried interfaces and interphases. Thorough and in-depth understanding on the complex interfaces and interphases is essential to make a practical high-energy ASSB.

Abstract
Room-temperature solid-state sodium batteries have the remarkable potential to simultaneously achieve high safety, high energy density, and low cost. However, their current performance is far below expectations. Through material and interfacial modification based on Na3PS4 solid electrolytes, progress is made toward stable room-temperature solid-state sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries. First, the ionic liquid N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (Pyr14FSI) is employed to modify the anode/electrolyte interface. An overpotential of 0.55 V after 900 h of a symmetrical battery indicates enhanced interfacial stability. A stable in situ solid electrolyte interphase layer is formed at the interface of NaSn alloy and Na3PS4, proved by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. Furthermore, selenium-doped sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (Se0.05S0.95@pPAN) is used to boost the ionic and electronic conductivities of the sulfur cathode. As a result, the Na-S battery using a Se0.05S0.95@pPAN cathode and the interfacial modification delivers stable cycle performance and enhanced rate capability.
