Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising candidates for safe energy storage applications. However, undesirable parasitic reactions such as dendrite growth, gas evaluation, anode corrosion, and structural damage to the cathode under an acidic microenvironment severely affected cell performance. To resolve these issues, an MXene entrapped in an ionic liquid semi-solid gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) composite was explored. The molecular-level mixing of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVHF), zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate (Zn(OTF)2), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIBF4) ionic liquid, and Ti3C2Tx MXene provided a controlled Zn2+ shuttle toward the anode/cathode. Ti3C2Tx/EMIBF4/Zn(OTF)2/PVHF exhibited a breaking strength of 0.36 MPa with an associated extension of 23%. The Zn//Ti3C2Tx/EMIBF4/Zn(OTF)2/PVHF//Zn symmetric cell with continuous zinc plating/stripping exhibited excellent Zn2+ ion mobility toward the anode and cathode without undesired reactions. This was confirmed by post-mortem analysis after a symmetric cell compatibility test. The as-prepared GPE with a Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) cathode exhibited a high chemical diffusion coefficient of 1.14 × 10-7. It also showed an outstanding reversible capacity of 89 mAh g-1 at C/10 with an average discharge plateau voltage of 1.45 V, cycle durability, and controlled self-discharge. These results suggested that the Zn2+ ions in the Ti3C2Tx/EMIBF4/Zn(OTF)2/PVHF composite are reversibly labile in the anode and cathode directions.

Abstract
The ionic conductivity in lamellar block copolymer electrolytes is often anisotropic, where the in-plane conductivity exceeds the through-plane conductivity by up to an order of magnitude. In a prior work, we showed significant anisotropy in the ionic conductivity of a lamellar block copolymer based on polystyrene (PS) and a polymer ionic liquid (PIL), and we proposed that the through-film ionic conductivity was depressed by layering of lamellar domains near the electrode surface. In the present work, we first tested that conclusion by measuring the through-plane ionic conductivity of two model PIL-based systems having controlled interfacial profiles using impedance spectroscopy. The measurements were not sensitive to changes in interfacial composition or structure, so anisotropy in the ionic conductivity of PS-block-PIL materials must arise from an in-plane enhancement rather than a through-plane depression. We then examined the origin of this in-plane enhancement with a series of PS-block-PIL materials, a P(S-r-IL) copolymer, and a PIL homopolymer, where impedance spectra were acquired with a top-contact electrode configuration. These studies show that enhanced in-plane ionic conductivities are correlated with the formation of an IL-rich wetting layer at the free surface, which presumably provides a low-resistance path for ion transport between the electrodes. Importantly, the enhanced in-plane ionic conductivities in these PS-block-PIL materials are consistent with simple geometric arguments based on properties of the PIL, while the through-plane values are an order of magnitude lower. Consequently, it is critical to understand how surface and bulk effects contribute to impedance spectroscopy measurements when developing structure-conductivity relations in this class of materials.

Abstract
ConspectusIon-containing solid block polymer (BP) electrolytes can self-assemble into microphase-separated domains to facilitate the independent optimization of ion conduction and mechanical stability; this assembly behavior has the potential to improve the functionality and safety of lithium-ion batteries over liquid electrolytes to meet future demands (e.g., large capacities and long lifetimes) in various applications. However, significant enhancements in the ionic conductivity and processability of BPs must be realized for BP-based electrolytes to become robust alternatives in commercial devices. Toward this end, the controlled modification of BP electrolytes' intra-domain (nanometer-scale) and multi-grain (micrometer-scale) structure is one viable approach; intra-domain ion transport and segmental compatibility (related to the effective Flory-Huggins parameter, χeff) can be increased by tuning the ion and monomer-segment distributions, and the morphology can be selected such that the multi-grain transport is less sensitive to grain size and orientation.To highlight the characteristics of intra-domain structure that promote efficient ion transport, this Account begins by describing the relationship between BP thermodynamics (namely, χeff and the statistical segment length, b, which is indicative of chain stiffness) and local ion concentration. These thermodynamic insights are vital because they inform the selection of synthesis and formulation variables, such as polymer and ion chemistry, polymer molecular weight and composition, and ion concentration, which boost electrolyte performance. In addition to its relationship with local ion transport, χeff is also an important factor with respect to electrolyte processability. For example, a reduced χeff can allow BP electrolytes to be processed at lower temperatures (i.e., lower energy input), with less solvent (i.e., reduced waste), and/or for shorter times (i.e., higher throughput) yet still form desired nanostructures. This Account also examines the impact of electrolyte preparation and processing on the ion transport across nanostructured grains because of grain size and orientation. As morphologies with a 3D-connected versus 2D-connected conducting phase show different sensitivities to conductivity losses that can occur because of the fabrication methods, it is necessary to account for electrolyte processing effects when probing ion transport.The intra-domain and micrometer-scale structure also can be tuned using either tapered BPs (macromolecules with modified monomer-segment composition profiles between two homogeneous blocks) or blends of BPs and homopolymers, independent of the BP molecular weight and composition, as detailed herein. The application of TBPs or BP/HP blends as ion-conducting materials leads to improved ion transport, reduced χeff, and greater availability of morphologies with 3D connectivity relative to traditional (non-tapered and unblended) BP electrolytes. This feature results from the fact that ion transport is related more closely to the monomer-segment distributions within a domain than the overall nanoscale morphology or average polymer/ion mobilities. Taken together, this Account describes how ion transport and processability are influenced by BP architecture and nanostructural features, and it provides avenues to tune nanoassemblies that can contribute to improved lithium-ion battery technologies to meet future demands.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers are compelling platforms for the design of stimuli-responsive materials with emergent functions. Here, we report the assembly of an amphiphilic nanotube for Li-ion conduction that exhibits high ionic conductivity, mechanical integrity, electrochemical stability, and solution processability. Imine condensation of a pyridine-containing diamine with a triethylene glycol functionalized isophthalaldehyde yields pore-functionalized macrocycles. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and in solvo X-ray diffraction reveal that macrocycle protonation during their mild synthesis drives assembly into high-aspect ratio (>103) nanotubes with three interior triethylene glycol groups. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrates that lithiated nanotubes are efficient Li+ conductors, with an activation energy of 0.42 eV and a peak room temperature conductivity of 3.91 ± 0.38 × 10-5 S cm-1. 7Li NMR and Raman spectroscopy show that lithiation occurs exclusively within the nanotube interior and implicates the glycol groups in facilitating efficient Li+ transduction. Linear sweep voltammetry and galvanostatic lithium plating-stripping tests reveal that this nanotube-based electrolyte is stable over a wide potential range and supports long-term cyclability. These findings demonstrate how the coupling of synthetic design and supramolecular structural control can yield high-performance ionic transporters that are amenable to device-relevant fabrication, as well as the technological potential of chemically designed self-assembled nanotubes.

Abstract
Block copolymers (BCPs) self-assembly has continually attracted interest as a means to provide bottom-up control over nanostructures. While various methods have been demonstrated for efficiently ordering BCP nanodomains, most of them do not generically afford control of nanostructural orientation. For many applications of BCPs, such as energy storage, microelectronics, and separation membranes, alignment of nanodomains is a key requirement for enabling their practical use or enhancing materials performance. This review focuses on summarizing research progress on the development of anisotropy in BCP systems, covering a variety of topics from established aligning techniques, resultant material properties, and the associated applications. Specifically, the significance of aligning nanostructures and the anisotropic properties of BCPs is discussed and highlighted by demonstrating a few promising applications. Finally, the challenges and outlook are presented to further implement aligned BCPs into practical nanotechnological applications, where exciting opportunities exist.

Abstract
This paper reports single-molecule tracking (SMT) measurements of the diffusion behaviors of individual, anionic sulforhodamine B (SRB) dye molecules in a series of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) films, aimed at clarifying the influences of the molecular weight, network plasticization, and thermal annealing on such dynamics. Micrometer-thick PEO films were prepared by drop-casting from its aqueous (0.2%, 1 nM SRB) solution, followed by drying in air and thermal annealing at 90 °C for 36 h. The diffusion of individual SRB occurring within the amorphous domains was recorded at different relative humidities (5-95%) to characterize the microscale domains' local aspect-ratio, orientation, and molecular permeability at high spatial resolution. The results revealed the involvement of crystalline phases in confining SRB diffusion to submicron distances and guiding longer-range diffusion along one-dimensional-like amorphous morphologies. Upon annealing, amorphous domains were wider, more continuous, and more permeable to SRB probes. The enhanced transport in plasticized PEO, as reflected by the higher SRB mobility and diffusivity, was linked to the polymer's higher chain and segmental mobilities and reduced hydrogen-bonding interactions. This work has demonstrated the usefulness of SMT for an advanced characterization of solid polymer electrolytic films, highly beneficial for the development of safer lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The studies of phase behavior, dielectric relaxation, and other properties of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) blends with the addition of lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) were done for different blend compositions. Samples were prepared by a solution casting technique. The binary PEO/PMA blends exhibit a single and compositional-dependent glass transition temperature (Tg), which is also true for ternary mixtures of PEO/PMA/LiClO4 when PEO was in excess with low content of salt. These may indicate miscibility of the constituents for the molten systems and amorphous domains of the systems at room temperature from the macroscopic point of view. Subsequently, the morphology of PEO/PMA blends with or without salt are correlated to the phase behavior of the systems. Phase morphology and molecular interaction of polymer chains by salt ions of the systems may rule the dielectric or electric relaxation at room temperature, which was estimated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The frequency-dependent impedance spectra are of interest for the elucidation of polarization and relaxation of the charged entities for the systems. Relaxation can be noted only when a sufficient amount of salt is added into the systems.

Abstract
Developing solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) is a promising approach to realize practical dendrite-free lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Tuning the nanoscale polymer network chemsitry is of critical importance for SPE design. In this work, we took lessons from the rubber chemistry and developed a series of comb-chain crosslinker-based SPEs (ConSPEs) using a preformed polymer as the multifunctional crosslinker. The high-functionality crosslinker increased the connectivity of nanosized cross-linked domains, which led to a robust network with dramatically improved toughness and superior lithium dendrite resistance even at a current density of 2 mA cm-2. The uniform and flexile network also dramatically improved the anodic stability to over 5.3 V versus Li/Li+. Additive-free, all-solid-state LMBs with the ConSPE showed high discharge capacity and stable cycling up to 10 C rate, and could be stably cycled at 25 °C. Our results demonstrated that ConSPEs are promising for high-performance and dendrite-free LMBs.

Abstract
Block copolymer brushes are of great interest due to their rich phase behavior and value-added properties compared to homopolymer brushes. Traditional synthesis involves grafting-to and grafting-from methods. In this work, a recently developed "polymer-single-crystal-assisted-grafting-to" method is applied for the preparation of block copolymer brushes on flat glass surfaces. Triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(l-lactide)-b-poly(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate) (PEO-b-PLLA-b-PTESPMA) is synthesized with PLLA as the brush morphology-directing component and PTESPMA as the anchoring block. PEO-b-PLLA block copolymer brushes are obtained by chemical grafting of the triblock copolymer single crystals onto a glass surface. The tethering point and overall brush pattern are determined by the single crystal morphology. The grafting density is calculated to be ≈0.36 nm-2 from the atomic force microscopy results and is consistent with the theoretic calculation based on the PLLA crystalline lattice. This work provides a new strategy to synthesize well-defined block copolymer brushes.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries are an emerging option for next-generation traction batteries because they are safe and have a high energy density. Accordingly, in polymer research, one of the main goals is to achieve solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) that could be facilely fabricated into any preferred size of thin films with high ionic conductivity as well as favorable mechanical properties. In particular, in the past two decades, many polymer materials of various structures have been applied to improve the performance of SPEs. In this review, the influences of polymer architecture on the physical and electrochemical properties of an SPE in lithium solid polymer batteries are systematically summarized. The discussion mainly focuses on four principal categories: linear, comb-like, hyper-branched, and crosslinked polymers, which have been widely reported in recent investigations as capable of optimizing the balance between mechanical resistance, ionic conductivity, and electrochemical stability. This paper presents new insights into the design and exploration of novel high-performance SPEs for lithium solid polymer batteries.

Abstract
Lamellar block copolymers based on polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) show promise as electrolytes in electrochemical devices. However, these systems often display structural anisotropy that depresses the through-film ionic conductivity. This work hypothesizes that structural anisotropy is a consequence of surface-induced ordering, where preferential adsorption of one block at the electrode drives a short-range stacking of the lamellae. This point was examined with lamellar diblock copolymers of polystyrene (PS) and poly(1-(2-acryloyloxyethyl)-3-butylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide) (PIL). The bulk PS-PIL structure was comprised of randomly oriented lamellar grains. However, in thin PS-PIL films (100-400 nm), the lamellae were stacked normal to the plane of the film, and islands/holes were observed when the as-prepared film thickness was incommensurate with the natural lamellar periodicity. Both of these attributes are well-known consequences of preferential wetting at surfaces. The ionic conductivity of thick PS-PIL films (50-100 μm) was approximately 20× higher in the in-plane direction than in the through-plane direction, consistent with a mixed structure comprised of randomly oriented lamellae throughout the interior of the film and highly oriented lamellae at the electrode surface. Therefore, to fully optimize the performance of a block copolymer electrolyte, it is important to consider the effects of surface interactions on the ordering of domains.

Abstract
The diffusion of lithium ions decoupled from a solid polymer electrolyte matrix is the key for high-energy electrochemical devices with the safety needed for commercial use. This Letter reports how the ion mobility in a single-phase hybrid polyelectrolyte (SPHP) matrix can be tuned by changing an inorganic coordinating atom from silicon (Si) to germanium (Ge). Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) results show that the lithium ion activation barrier in the polyelectrolyte with Si can be modulated from 0.26 eV to the unprecedented value of 0.12 eV in the polyelectrolyte with Ge. Density functional theory is used to show that the electronic structures of both polymers are very different, although their chemical structures are very similar, except for the coordinating atom. This simple chemical substitution route will certainly increase the interest in these polymers for applications in electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Nanocomposite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) are promising materials for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) due to their enhanced ionic conductivities and stability to the lithium anode. MXenes are a new two-dimensional, 2D, family of early transition metal carbides and nitrides, which have a high aspect ratio and a hydrophilic surface. Herein, using a green, facile aqueous solution blending method, we uniformly dispersed small amounts of Ti3C2T x into a poly(ethylene oxide)/LiTFSI complex (PEO20-LiTFSI) to fabricate MXene-based CPEs (MCPEs). The addition of the 2D flakes to PEO simultaneously retards PEO crystallization and enhances its segmental motion. Compared to the 0D and 1D nanofillers, MXenes show higher efficiency in ionic conductivity enhancement and improvement in the performance of LMBs. The CPE with 3.6 wt% MXene shows the highest ionic conductivity at room temperature (2.2 × 10-5 S m-1 at 28 °C). An LMB using MCPE with only 1.5 wt% MXene shows rate capability and stability comparable with that of the state-of-the-art CPELMBs. We attribute the excellent performance to the 2D geometry of the filler, the good dispersion of the flakes in the polymer matrix, and the functional group-rich surface.

Abstract
This topical review discusses the theoretical progress made in the field of polymer nanocomposites, i.e., hybrid materials created by mixing (typically inorganic) nanoparticles (NPs) with organic polymers. It primarily focuses on the outstanding issues in this field and is structured around five separate topics: (i) the synthesis of functionalized nanoparticles; (ii) their phase behavior when mixed with a homopolymer matrix and their assembly into well-defined superstructures; (iii) the role of processing on the structures realized by these hybrid materials and the role of the mobilities of the different constituents; (iv) the role of external fields (electric, magnetic) in the active assembly of the NPs; and (v) the engineering properties that result and the factors that control them. While the most is known about topic (ii), we believe that significant progress needs to be made in the other four topics before the practical promise offered by these materials can be realized. This review delineates the most pressing issues on these topics and poses specific questions that we believe need to be addressed in the immediate future.

Abstract
Garnet-type solid state electrolyte (SSE) is a promising candidate for high performance lithium (Li)-metal batteries due to its good stability and high ionic conductivity. One of the main challenges for garnet solid state batteries is the poor solid-solid contact between the garnet and electrodes, which results in high interfacial resistance, large polarizations, and low efficiencies in batteries. To address this challenge, in this work gel electrolyte is used as an interlayer between solid electrolyte and solid electrodes to improve their contact and reduce their interfacial resistance. The gel electrolyte has a soft structure, high ionic conductivity, and good wettability. Through construction of the garnet/gel interlayer/electrode structure, the interfacial resistance of the garnet significantly decreased from 6.5 × 104 to 248 Ω cm2 for the cathode and from 1.4 × 103 to 214 Ω cm2 for the Li-metal anode, successfully demonstrating a full cell with high capacity (140 mAh/g for LiFePO4 cathode) over 70 stable cycles in room temperature. This work provides a binary electrolyte consisting of gel electrolyte and solid electrolyte to address the interfacial challenge of solid electrolyte and electrodes and the demonstrated hybrid battery presents a promising future for battery development with high energy and good safety.

Abstract
To show the influence of the interface on structure and dynamics of microphase separated polymer systems, we study interfacially modified AB block copolymers with small molecule penetrants. The polymers have a random midblock or tapered midblock whose composition varies from pure A to pure B (or from pure B to pure A for an inverse taper) between two pure blocks of A and B. We perform simple coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of symmetric polymers that form lamellae. With normal tapering, both polymer and penetrant diffusion parallel to the lamellae increases as taper length increases. Inverse tapered polymers exist in different conformational states (e.g., stretched vs folded back and forth across the interface) with different dynamic behavior, leading to nonmonotonic trends in their diffusion. However, the local mixing of monomers (rather than polymer conformation) appears to be the most important factor in determining penetrant diffusion.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms and optimizing ion transport in polymer membranes have been the subject of active research for more than three decades. We present an overview of the progress and challenges involved with the modeling and simulation aspects of the ion transport properties of polymer membranes. We are concerned mainly with atomistic and coarser level simulation studies and discuss some salient work in the context of pure binary and single ion conducting polymer electrolytes, polymer nanocomposites, block copolymers, and ionic liquid-based hybrid electrolytes. We conclude with an outlook highlighting future directions.
