Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have recently garnered significant interest in being employed alongside conventional lithium-ion batteries, particularly in applications where cost and sustainability are particularly relevant. The rapid progress in NIBs will undoubtedly expedite the commercialization process. In this regard, tailoring and designing electrolyte formulation is a top priority, as they profoundly influence the overall electrochemical performance and thermal, mechanical, and dimensional stability. Moreover, electrolytes play a critical role in determining the system's safety level and overall lifespan. This review delves into recent electrolyte advancements from liquid (organic and ionic liquid) to solid and quasi-solid electrolyte (dry, hybrid, and single ion conducting electrolyte) for NIBs, encompassing comprehensive strategies for electrolyte design across various materials, systems, and their functional applications. The objective is to offer strategic direction for the systematic production of safe electrolytes and to investigate the potential applications of these designs in real-world scenarios while thoroughly assessing the current obstacles and forthcoming prospects within this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
Na3Zr2Si2PO12 has been proven to be a promising electrolyte for solid-state sodium batteries. However, its poor conductivity prevents application, caused by the large ionic resistance created by the grain boundary. Herein, we propose an additional glass phase (Na-Ga-Si-P-O phase) to connect the grain boundary via Ga ion introduction, resulting in enhanced sodium-ion conduction and electrochemical performance. The optimized Na3Zr2Si2PO12-0.15Ga electrolyte exhibits Na+ conductivity of 1.65 mS cm-1 at room temperature and a low activation energy of 0.16 eV, with 20% newly formed glass phase enclosing the grain boundary. Temperature-dependent NMR line shapes and spin-lattice relaxation were used to estimate the Na self-diffusion and Na ion hopping. The dense glass-ceramic electrolyte design strategy and the structure-dynamics-property correlation from NMR, can be extended to the optimization of other materials.

Abstract
The cost reduction and mass production of oxide-based solid electrolytes are critical for the commercialization of all-solid-state batteries. In this study, an environmentally friendly, low-cost, and high-density oxide-based Na superionic conductor-type solid electrolyte sheet was fabricated via a dry process without the use of any solvent. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), used as a binder, was transformed into thin thread-like structures via shear force, resulting in a flexible solid electrolyte sheet. The solid electrolyte powder quantity was limited to 50 wt % for fabricating a uniform green sheet via the wet process. However, when the dry process was employed for green sheet fabrication, the solid electrolyte powder quantity could be increased to values exceeding 95 wt %. Therefore, the green sheets produced by using the dry process demonstrated a higher density than those fabricated by using the wet process. The binder content and particle size affected the ionic conductivity of a solid electrolyte sheet fabricated via a dry process. The sheet obtained via the blending of 3 wt % PTFE binder with a solid electrolyte powder, finely ground using a planetary ball mill, which exhibited the highest total ionic conductivity of 1.03 mS cm-1.

Abstract
Advanced ionic conductors are crucial for a large variety of contemporary technologies spanning solid state ion batteries, fuel cells, gas sensors, water desalination, etc. In this work, we report on a new member of KTiOPO4-structured materials, NaGaPO4F, with sodium-ion conductivity. NaGaPO4F has been obtained for the first time via a facile two-step synthesis consisting of a hydrothermal preparation of an ammonia-based precursor, NH4GaPO4F, followed by an ion exchange reaction with NaNO3. Its crystal structure was precisely refined using a combination of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction and electron diffraction tomography. The material is thermally stable upon 450 °C showing no significant structural transformations or degradation but only a ∼1% cell volume expansion. Na-ion mobility in NaGaPO4F was investigated by a joint experimental and computational approach comprising solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and density functional theory (DFT). DFT and bond-valence site energy (BVSE) calculations reveal 3D diffusion of sodium in the [GaPO4F] framework with migration barriers amounting to 0.22 and 0.44 eV, respectively, while NMR yields 0.3-0.5 eV that, being coupled with a calculated bandgap of ∼4.25 eV, makes NaGaPO4F a promising fast Na-ion conductor.

Abstract
Solid-state metal batteries with nonflammable solid-state electrolytes are regarded as the next generation of energy storage technology on account of their high safety and energy density. However, as for most solid electrolytes, low room temperature ionic conductivity and interfacial issues hinder their practical application. In this work, Na super ionic conductor (NASICON)-type Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (NZSP) electrolytes with improved ionic conductivity are synthesized by the NaBr-assisted sintering method. The effects of the NaBr sintering aid on the crystalline phase, microstructure, densification degree, and electrical performance as well as the electrochemical performances of the NZSP ceramic electrolyte are investigated in detail. Specifically, the NZSP-7%NaBr-1150 ceramic electrolyte has an ionic conductivity of 1.2 × 10-3 S cm-1 (at 25 °C) together with an activation energy of 0.28 eV. A low interfacial resistance of 35 Ω cm2 is achieved with the Na/NZSP-7%NaBr-1150 interface. Furthermore, the Na/NZSP-7%NaBr-1150/Na3V2(PO4)3 battery manifests excellent cycling stability with a capacity retention of 98% after 400 cycles at 1 C and 25 °C.

Abstract
For realizing all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), it is highly desirable to develop a robust solid electrolyte (SE) that has exceptional ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability at room temperature. While argyrodite-type Li6PS5Cl (LPSCl) SE has garnered attention for its relatively high ionic conductivity (∼3.19 × 10-3 S cm-1), it tends to emit hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the presence of moisture, which can hinder the performance of ASSBs. To address this issue, researchers are exploring approaches that promote structural stability and moisture resistance through elemental doping or substitution. Herein, we suggest using zeolite imidazolate framework-8 as a moisture absorbent in LPSCl without modifying the structure of the SE or the electrode configuration. By incorporating highly ordered porous materials, we demonstrate that ASSBs configured with LPSCl SE display stable cyclability due to effective and long-lasting moisture absorption. This approach not only improves the overall quality of ASSBs but also lays the foundation for developing a moisture-resistant sulfide electrolyte.

Abstract
In this work, an efficient screening method to select appropriate sintering aids for a wide range of oxide material systems is developed. Consequently, Na2 B4 O7 , NaF, and CuO are selected as sintering aids for sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON)-type Na3 Zr2 Si2 PO12 ceramic to verify the feasibility of the as-proposed method. As evidenced by the results, the sinterability and densification of ceramic matrix are apparently improved. Specifically, Na3 Zr2 Si2 PO12 -7%Na2 B4 O7 , Na3 Zr2 Si2 PO12 -3%NaF, and Na3 Zr2 Si2 PO12 -3%CuO endow much higher room temperature ionic conductivity of 1.03 × 10-3 , 1.61 × 10-3 , and 1.63 × 10-3 S cm-1 , respectively, in comparison with the pristine (7.23 × 10-4 S cm-1 ). The underlying mechanism for the enhanced performance is also discussed. The symmetric sodium cells assembled with sintering aids modified Na3 Zr2 Si2 PO12 ceramic electrolyte exhibit ultra-stable metallic Na plating/stripping at room temperature. Moreover, solid-state sodium batteries paired with Na3 V1.5 Cr0.5 (PO4 )3 cathode active material and modified Na3 Zr2 Si2 PO12 ceramic electrolyte demonstrate superior cycling stability and excellent rate capability.

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
The formation of slagging and fouling during municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration not only significantly affects heat transfer, but also results in shortened operating cycles. In order to solve the issues, the effect of different additives on the migration and transformation patterns of alkali/alkaline earth metals (AAEM) and chlorine during MSW incineration is screened based on the Gibbs energy minimization method. The effect of potential additives on the ash fusion temperature and combustion reactivity of MSW char is subsequently verified and evaluated by experimental methods. The thermodynamic equilibrium analysis shows that Al(NO3)3, Ca(NO3)2, and Mg(NO3)2 have great potential to increase the ash fusion temperature. The experimental investigation confirms that the addition of Al(NO3)3, Ca(NO3)2, and Mg(NO3)2 significantly increases the ash fusion temperature. The order of increasing the ash fusion temperature by different additives is Mg(NO3)2 > Ca(NO3)2 > Al(NO3)3. The addition of Mg(NO3)2 significantly increased the initial deformation temperature, softening temperature, hemispheric temperature, and flow temperature of ash from 1180, 1190, 1200, and 1240 °C to 1220, 1230, 1240, and 1260 °C, respectively. The addition of Cu(NO3)2, Fe(NO3)3, and KMnO4 significantly decreases the temperature at the maximum weight loss rate of MSW char, while increasing the maximum weight loss rate. Additionally, Cu(NO3)2 shows the best performance in improving the combustion reactivity of MSW char. The addition of Cu(NO3)2 evidently increases the maximum weight loss rate from 0.49 to 0.54% °C−1. Therefore, it is concluded that Mg(NO3)2 and Cu(NO3)2 are supposed to be the most potential candidates for efficient additives. This study presents an efficient and economical method to screen potential additives for alleviating slagging and fouling during MSW incineration.
