Abstract
Rechargeable batteries play an integral role toward carbon neutrality. Environmentally sustainable batteries should consider the trade-offs between material renewability, processability, thermo-mechanical and electrochemical performance, as well as transiency. To address this dilemma, we follow circular economy principles to fabricate fungal chitin nanofibril (ChNF) gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) for zinc-ion batteries. These biocolloids are physically entangled into hierarchical hydrogels with specific surface areas of 49.5 m2 ·g-1 . Ionic conductivities of 54.1 mS·cm-1 and a Zn2+ transference number of 0.468 are reached, outperforming conventional non-renewable/non-biodegradable glass microfibre separator-liquid electrolyte pairs. Enabled by its mechanically elastic properties and large water uptake, a stable Zn electrodeposition in symmetric Zn|Zn configuration with a lifespan above 600 h at 9.5 mA·cm-2 is obtained. At 100 mA·g-1 , the discharge capacity of Zn/α-MnO2 full cells increases above 500 cycles when replacing glass microfiber separators with ChNF GPEs, while the rate performance remains comparable to glass microfiber separators. To make the battery completely transient, the metallic current collectors are replaced by biodegradable polyester/carbon black composites undergoing degradation in water at 70 °C. This work demonstrates the applicability of bio-based materials to fabricate green and electrochemically competitive batteries with potential applications in sustainable portable electronics, or biomedicine.

Abstract
Transient electronic devices have shown promising applications in hardware security and medical implants with diagnosing therapeutics capabilities since their inception. Control of the device transience allows the device to "dissolve at will" after its functional operation, leading to the development of on-demand transient electronics. This review discusses the recent developments and advantages of triggering strategies (e.g., electrical, thermal, ultrasound, and optical) for controlling the degradation of on-demand transient electronics. We also summarize bioresorbable sensors for medical diagnoses, including representative applications in electrophysiology and neurochemical sensing. Along with the profound advancements in medical diagnosis, the commencement of therapeutic systems such as electrical stimulation and drug delivery for the biomedical or medical implant community has also been discussed. However, implementing a transient electronic system in real healthcare infrastructure is still in its infancy. Many critical challenges still need to be addressed, including strategies to decouple multimodal sensing signals, dissolution selectivity in the presence of multiple stimuli, and a complete sensing-stimulation closed-loop system. Therefore, the review discusses future opportunities in transient decoupling sensors and robust transient devices, which are selective to a particular stimulus and act as hardware-based passwords. Recent advancements in closed-loop controller-enabled electronics have also been analyzed for future opportunities of using data-driven artificial intelligence-powered controllers in fully closed-loop transient systems.

Abstract
Transient batteries are expected to lessen the inherent environmental impact of traditional batteries that rely on toxic and critical raw materials. This work presents the bottom-up design of a fully transient Zn-ion battery (ZIB) made of nontoxic and earth-abundant elements, including a novel hydrogel electrolyte prepared by cross-linking agarose and carboxymethyl cellulose. Facilitated by a high ionic conductivity and a high positive zinc-ion species transference number, the optimized hydrogel electrolyte enables stable cycling of the Zn anode with a lifespan extending over 8500 h for 0.25 mA cm-2 - 0.25 mAh cm-2 . On pairing with a biocompatible organic polydopamine-based cathode, the full cell ZIB delivers a capacity of 196 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g-1 and a capacity of 110 mAh g-1 after 10 000 cycles at a current density of 1 A g-1 . A transient ZIB with a biodegradable agarose casing displays an open circuit voltage of 1.123 V and provides a specific capacity of 157 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at a current density of 50 mA g-1 . After completing its service life, the battery can disintegrate under composting conditions.

Abstract
Highly deformable batteries that are flexible and stretchable are important for the next-generation wearable devices. Several studies have focused on the stable operation and life span of batteries. On the other hand, there has been less focus on the packaging of highly deformable batteries. In wearable devices, solid-state or pouch lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) packaged in aluminum (Al)-laminated films, which protect against moisture and gas permeation, are used. Stretchable elastomer materials are used as the packaging films of highly deformable batteries; however, they are extremely permeable to gas and moisture. Therefore, a packaging film that provides high deformability along with gas and moisture barrier functionalities is required for the stable operation of highly deformable batteries used in ambient conditions. In this study, a stretchable packaging film with high gas barrier functionality is developed successfully by coating a thin layer of liquid metal onto a gold (Au)-deposited thermoplastic polyurethane film using the layer-by-layer method. The film exhibits excellent oxygen gas impermeability under mechanical strain and extremely low moisture permeability. It shows high impermeability along with high mechanical robustness. Using the proposed stretchable gas barrier film, a highly deformable LIB is assembled, which offers reliable operation in air. The operation of the highly deformable battery is analyzed by powering LEDs under mechanical deformations in ambient conditions. The proposed stretchable packaging film can potentially be used for the development of packaging films in advanced wearable electronic devices.

Abstract
Flexibility has become a certain trend in the development of secondary batteries to meet the requirements of wide portability and applicability. On account of their intrinsic high energy density, flexible alkali metal-chalcogen batteries are attracting increasing interest. Although great advances have been made in promoting the electrochemical performance of metal-S or metal-Se batteries, explorations on flexible chalcogen-based batteries are still limited. Extensive and rational use of soft materials for electrodes is the main bottleneck. The re-emergence of safe liquid metals (LMs), which provide an ideal combination of metallic and fluidic properties at room temperature, offers a fascinating paradigm for constructing flexible chalcogen batteries. They may provide dendrite-free anodes and restrain the dissolution of polysulfides and polyselenides for cathodes. From this perspective, we elaborate on the appealing features of LMs for the construction of flexible metal-chalcogen batteries. Recent advances on LM-based battery are discussed, covering novel liquid alkali metals as anodes and LM-sulfur hybrids as cathodes, with the focus placed on durable high-energy-density output and self-healing flexible capability. At last, perspectives are proposed on the future development of LM-based chalcogen batteries, and the viable strategies to meet the current challenges that are obstructing more practical flexible chalcogen batteries.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries (NIBs) based on earth-abundant materials offer efficient, safe, and environmentally sustainable solutions for a decarbonized society. However, to compete with mature energy storage technologies such as lithium ion batteries, further progress is needed, particularly regarding the energy density and operational lifetime. Considering these aspects as well as a circular economy perspective, the authors use biodegradable cellulose nanoparticles for the preparation of a gel polymer electrolyte that offers a high liquid electrolyte uptake of 2985%, an ionic conductivity of 2.32 mS cm-1 , and a Na+ transference number of 0.637. A balanced ratio of mechanically rigid cellulose nanocrystals and flexible cellulose nanofibers results in a mesoporous hierarchical structure that ensures close contact with metallic Na. This architecture offers stable Na plating/stripping at current densities up to ±500 µA cm-2 , outperforming conventional fossil-based NIBs containing separator-liquid electrolytes. Paired with an environmentally sustainable and economically attractive Na2 Fe2 (SO4 )3 cathode, the battery reaches an energy density of 240 Wh kg-1 , delivering 69.7 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles at a rate of 1C. In comparison, Celgard in liquid electrolyte delivers only 0.6 mAh g-1 at C/4. Such gel polymer electrolytes may open up new opportunities for sustainable energy storage systems beyond lithium ion batteries.

Abstract
The electrode fabrication stage is a crucial step in the design of supercapacitors. The latter involves the binder generally for adhesive purposes. The binder is electrochemically dormant and has weak interactions, leading to isolating the active material and conductive additive and then compromising the electrochemical performance. Designing binder-free electrodes is a practical way to improve the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors. However, most of the methods developed for the fabrication of binder-free LDH electrodes do not accommodate LDH materials prepared via the co-precipitation or ions exchange routes. Herein, we developed a novel method to fabricate binder-free LDH electrodes which accommodates LDH materials from other synthesis routes. The induced impacts of various physical parameters such as the temperature and time applied during the fabrication process on the crystalline domain and electrochemical performances of all the binder-free LDH electrodes were studied. The electrochemical analysis showed that the electrode prepared at 200 °C-1 h exhibited the best electrochemical performance compared to its counterparts. A specific capacitance of 3050.95 Fg-1 at 10 mVs-1 was achieved by it, while its Rct value was 0.68 Ω. Moreover, it retained 97% of capacitance after 5000 cycles at 120 mVs-1. The XRD and FTIR studies demonstrated that its excellent electrochemical performance was due to its crystalline domain which had held an important amount of water than other electrodes. The as-developed method proved to be reliable and advantageous due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
At present, photoassisted Li-air batteries are considered to be an effective approach to overcome the sluggish reaction kinetics of the Li-air batteries. And, the organic liquid electrolyte is generally adopted by the current conventional photoassisted Li-air batteries. However, the superior catalytic activity of photoassisted cathode would in turn fasten the degradation of the organic liquid electrolyte, leading to limited battery cycling life. Herein, we tame the above limitation of the traditional liquid electrolyte system for Li-CO2 batteries by constructing a photoassisted all-solid-state Li-CO2 battery with an integrated bilayer Au@TiO2/Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 (LAGP)/LAGP (ATLL) framework, which can essentially improve battery stability. Taking advantage of photoelectric and photothermal effects, the Au@TiO2/LAGP layer enables the acceleration of the slow kinetics of the carbon dioxide reduction reaction and evolution reaction processes. The LAGP layer could resolve the problem of liquid electrolyte decomposition under illumination. The integrated double-layer LAGP framework endows the direct transportation of heat and Li+ in the entire system. The photoassisted all-solid-state Li-CO2 battery achieves an ultralow polarization of 0.25 V with illumination, as well as a high round-trip efficiency of 92.4%. Even at an extremely low temperature of -73 °C, the battery can still deliver a small polarization of 0.6 V by converting solar energy into heat to achieve self-heating. This study is not limited to the Li-air batteries but can also be applied to other battery systems, constituting a significant step toward the practical application of all-solid-state photoassisted Li-air batteries.

Abstract
Rapidly growing flexible and wearable electronics highly demand the development of flexible energy storage devices. Yet, these devices are susceptible to extreme, repeated mechanical deformations under working circumstances. Herein, the design and fabrication of a smart, flexible Li-ion battery with shape memory function, which has the ability to restore its shape against severe mechanical deformations, bending, twisting, rolling or elongation, is reported. The shape memory function is induced by the integration of a shape-adjustable solid polymer electrolyte. This Li-ion battery delivers a specific discharge capacity of ≈140 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C charge/discharge rate with ≈92% capacity retention after 100 cycles and ≈99.85% Coulombic efficiency, at 20 °C. Besides recovery from mechanical deformations, it is visually demonstrated that the shape of this smart battery can be programmed to adjust itself in response to an internal/external heat stimulus for task-specific and advanced applications. Considering the vast range of available shape memory polymers with tunable chemistry, physical, and mechanical characteristics, this study offers a promising approach for engineering smart batteries responsive to unfavorable internal or external stimulus, with potential to have a broad impact on other energy storage technologies in different sizes and shapes.

Abstract
The growing energy demand with the widespread use of smart portable electronics, as well as an exponential increase in demand for smart batteries for electric vehicles, entails the development of efficient portable batteries with high energy density and safe power storage systems. Li-ion batteries arguably have superior energy density to all other traditional batteries. Developing mechanically robust solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for lithium-ion conduction for an efficient portable energy storage unit is vital to empower this technology and overcome the safety constraints of liquid electrolytes. Herein, we report the formation of self-assembled organic nanosheets (SONs) utilizing positional isomers of small organic molecules (AM-2 and AM-3) for use as SSEs for lithium-ion conduction. Solvent-assisted exfoliation of the bulk powder yielded SONs having near-atomic thickness (∼4.5 nm) with lateral dimensions in the micrometer range. In contrast, self-assembly in the DMF/water solvent system produced a distinct flower-like morphology. Thermodynamic parameters, crystallinity, elemental composition, and nature of H-bonding for two positional isomers are established through various spectroscopic and microscopic studies. The efficiency of the lithium-ion conducting properties is correlated with factors like nanostructure morphology, ionic scaffold, and locus of the functional group responsible for forming the directional channel through H-bonding in the positional isomer. Amongst the three different morphologies studied, SONs display higher ion conductivity. In between the cationic and zwitterionic forms of the monomer, integration of the cationic scaffold in the SON framework led to higher conductivity. Amongst the two positional isomers, the meta-substituted carboxyl group forms a more rigid directional channel through H-bonding to favor ionic mobility and accounts for the highest ion conductivity of 3.42 × 10-4 S cm-1 with a lithium-ion transference number of 0.49 at room temperature. Presumably, this is the first demonstration that signifies the importance of the cationic scaffold, positional isomers, and nanostructure morphologies in improving ionic conductivity. The ion-conducting properties of such SONs having a guanidinium-core may have significance for other interdisciplinary energy-related applications.
