Abstract
Solid lithium batteries (SLBs) have received much attention due to their potential to achieve secondary batteries with high energy density and high safety. The solid electrolyte (SE) is believed to be the essential material for SLBs. Among the recent SEs, composite electrolytes have good interfacial compatibility and customizability, which have been broadly investigated as promising contenders for commercial SLBs. The high Li+ transference number (t Li + ${{_{{\rm Li}{^{+}}}}}$ ) of composite electrolytes is critically important concerning the power/energy density and cycling life of SLBs, however, which is often overlooked. This Review presents a current opinion on the key factors in high t Li + ${{_{{\rm Li}{^{+}}}}}$ composite electrolytes, including polymers, Li-salts, inorganic fillers, and additives. Various strategies concerning providing a continuous pathway for Li-ions and immobilizing anions via component interaction are discussed. This Review highlights the major obstacles hindering the development of high t Li + ${{_{{\rm Li}{^{+}}}}}$ composite electrolytes and proposes future research directions for developing composite electrolytes with high t Li + ${{_{{\rm Li}{^{+}}}}}$ .

Abstract
An in-depth insight into the effect of nitrogen substitution on structural stabilization is important for the design of new spinel-type oxynitride materials with tailored properties. In this work, the crystal structures of ordered and disordered LiAl5O8 obtained by slow cooling and rapid quenching, respectively, were analyzed by a X-ray diffraction (XRD) Rietveld refinement and OccQP program. The variation in the bonding state of atoms in the two compounds was explored by the bond valence model, which revealed that the instability of spinel-type LiAl5O8 crystal structure at room temperature is mainly due to the severe under-bonding of the tetrahedrally coordinated Al cations. With the partial substitution of oxygen with nitrogen in LiAl5O8, a series of the nitrogen-stabilized spinel LiyAl(16+x-y)/3O8-xNx (0 < x < 0.5, 0 < y < 1) was successfully prepared. The crystal structures were systematically investigated by the powder XRD structural refinement combined with 7Li and 27Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance. All the Li+ ions entered the octahedra, while the Al resonances may be composed of multiple non-equivalent Al sites. The structural stability of spinel LiyAl(16+x-y)/3O8-xNx at ambient temperature was attributed to the cationic vacancies and high valence generated by the N ions, which alleviated the under-bonding state of the tetrahedral Al-O bond. This work provides a new perspective for understanding the composition-structure relationship in spinel compounds with multiple disorders.

Abstract
The development of solid-state batteries has become one of the most promising directions in rechargeable secondary batteries due to their considerable energy densities and favorable safety. However, solid-state batteries with higher energy density and more durable and stable cycle life should be developed for large-scale energy storage and adaption to the rapidly increasing lithium battery production and sales market. Although inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) and composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are relatively advantageous solid-state electrolytes, they also face severe challenges. This review summarizes the main stability issues related to chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical aspects faced by ISEs and CSEs. The corresponding state-of-the-art improvement strategies have been proposed, including filling of modified particles, electrolyte pore adjustment, electrolyte internal structure arrangement, and interface modification.

Abstract
Efforts to improve energy storage depend greatly on the development of efficient electrode materials. Recently, strain has been employed as an alternate approach to improve ion mobility. While lattice strain has been well-researched in catalytic applications, its effects on electrochemical energy storage are largely limited to computational studies due to complexities associated with strain control in nanomaterials as well as loss of strain due to the phase change of the active material during charging-discharging. In this work, we overcome these challenges and investigate the effects of strain on supercapacitor performance in Li-ion-based energy devices. We synthesize epitaxial Fe3O4@MnFe2O4 (core@shell) nanoparticles with varying shell thickness to control the lattice strain. A narrow voltage window for electrochemical testing is used to limit the storage mechanism to lithiation-delithiation, preventing a phase change and maintaining structural strain. Cyclic voltammetry reveals a pseudocapacitive behavior and similar levels of surface charge storage in both strained- and unstrained-MnFe2O4 samples; however, diffusive charge storage in the strained sample is twice as high as the unstrained sample. The strained-MnFe2O4 electrode exceeds the performance of the unstrained-MnFe2O4 electrode in energy density by ∼33%, power density by ∼28%, and specific capacitance by ∼48%. Density functional theory shows lower formation energies for Li-intercalation and lower activation barrier for Li-diffusion in strained-MnFe2O4, corresponding to a threefold increase in the diffusion coefficient. The enhanced Li-ion diffusion rate in the strained-electrodes is further confirmed using the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique. This work provides a starting point to using strain engineering as a novel approach for designing high performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
Abstract
For the first time, a spinel-type high entropy oxide (Zn0.25Cu0.25Mg0.25Co0.25)Al2O4 as well as its derivative lithiated high entropy oxyfluoride Li0.5(Zn0.25Cu0.25Mg0.25Co0.25)0.5Al2O3.5F0.5 and oxychloride Li0.5(Zn0.25Cu0.25Mg0.25Co0.25)0.5Al2O3.5Cl0.5 are prepared in the nanostructured state via high-energy co-milling of the simple oxide precursors and the halides (LiF or LiCl) as sources of lithium, fluorine and chlorine. Their nanostructure is investigated by XRD, HR-TEM, EDX and XPS spectroscopy. It is revealed that incorporation of lithium into the structure of spinel oxide together with the anionic substitution has significant effect on its short-range order, size and morphology of crystallites as well as on its oxidation/reduction processes. The charge capacity of the as-prepared nanomaterials tested by cyclic voltammetry is found to be rather poor despite lithiation of the samples in comparison to previously reported spinel-type high entropy oxides. Nevertheless, the present work offers the alternative one-step mechanochemical route to novel classes of high entropy oxides as well as to lithiated oxyfluorides and oxychlorides with the possibility to vary their cationic and anionic elemental composition.

Abstract
Layered lithium transition-metal oxides, such as LiCoO2 and its doped and lithium-rich analogues, have become the most attractive cathode material for current lithium-ion batteries due to their excellent power and energy densities. However, parasitic reactions at the cathode-electrolyte interface, such as metal-ion dissolution and electrolyte degradation, instigate major safety and performance issues. Although metal oxide coatings can enhance the chemical and structural stability, their insulating nature and lattice mismatch with the adjacent cathode material can act as a physical barrier for ion transport, which increases the charge-transfer resistance across the interface and impedes cell performance at high rates. Here, epitaxial engineering is applied to stabilize a cubic (100)-oriented TiO layer on top of single (104)-oriented LiCoO2 thin films to study the effect of a conductive coating on the electrochemical performance. Lattice matching between the (104) LiCoO2 surface facets and the (100) TiO plane enables the formation of the titanium mono-oxide phase, which dramatically enhances the cycling stability as well as the rate capability of LiCoO2. This cubic TiO coating enhances the preservation of the phase and structural stability across the (104) LiCoO2 surface. The results suggest a more stable Co3+ oxidation state, which not only limits the cobalt-ion dissolution into the electrolyte but also suppresses the catalytic degradation of the liquid electrolyte. Furthermore, the high c-rate performance combined with high Columbic efficiency indicates that interstitial sites in the cubic TiO lattice offer facile pathways for fast lithium-ion transport.

Abstract
Spinel-structured solids were studied to understand if fast Li+ ion conduction can be achieved with Li occupying multiple crystallographic sites of the structure to form a "Li-stuffed" spinel, and if the concept is applicable to prepare a high mixed electronic-ionic conductive, electrochemically active solid solution of the Li+ stuffed spinel with spinel-structured Li-ion battery electrodes. This could enable a single-phase fully solid electrode eliminating multi-phase interface incompatibility and impedance commonly observed in multi-phase solid electrolyte-cathode composites. Materials of composition Li1.25M(III)0.25TiO4, M(III) = Cr or Al were prepared through solid-state methods. The room-temperature bulk Li+-ion conductivity is 1.63 × 10-4 S cm-1 for the composition Li1.25Cr0.25Ti1.5O4. Addition of Li3BO3 (LBO) increases ionic and electronic conductivity reaching a bulk Li+ ion conductivity averaging 6.8 × 10-4 S cm-1, a total Li-ion conductivity averaging 4.2 × 10-4 S cm-1, and electronic conductivity averaging 3.8 × 10-4 S cm-1 for the composition Li1.25Cr0.25Ti1.5O4 with 1 wt. % LBO. An electrochemically active solid solution of Li1.25Cr0.25Mn1.5O4 and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 was prepared. This work proves that Li-stuffed spinels can achieve fast Li-ion conduction and that the concept is potentially useful to enable a single-phase fully solid electrode without interphase impedance.

Abstract
A non-sintered method with toothpaste electrode for improving electrode ionic conductivity and reducing interface impedance is introduced in solid-state rechargeable batteries. At 70 °C, this novel solid-state battery can deliver a capacity of 80 mAh g-1 in a voltage range of 2.5-3.8 V at 0.1C rate using layered oxide Na0.66Ni0.33Mn0.67O2, Na-β″-Al2O3 and sodium metal as cathode, electrolyte and anode, respectively. Moreover, the battery shows a superior stability and high reversibility, with a capacity retention of 90% after 10 000 cycles at 6C rate and a capacity of 79 mAh g-1 is recovered when the current rate is returned to 0.1C. Furthermore, a very thick electrode with active material mass loading of 6 mg cm-2 also presents a reasonable electrochemical performance. These results demonstrate that this is a promising approach to solve the interface problem and would open a new route in designing the next generation solid-state battery.

Abstract
A single-material battery is prepared using Li10GeP2S12 as the electrolyte, anode, and cathode, based on the Li-S and Ge-S components in Li10GeP2S12 acting as the active centers for its cathode and anode performance, respectively. The single-Li10GeP2S12 battery exhibits a remarkably low interfacial resistance due to the improvement of interfacial contact and interactions, and the suppression of interfacial strain/stress.
