The x LiBH 4 -Li 3 N ( x = 1, 2, 4) composites were investigated on their lithium ionic conductivities . They maintained the original phase structures of orthorhombic LiBH 4 and hexagonal β-Li 3 N during ball milling according to the analyses by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) tests showed that LiBH 4 -Li 3 N composites lift the lithium ionic conductivities from that of bulk LiBH 4 by nearly 100 times at low temperature. LiBH 4 -Li 3 N offers 1.06 × 10 − 5 S cm − 1 of conductivity while bulk LiBH 4 possesses only 2.05 × 10 − 7 S cm − 1 at 323 K. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests indicated that the voltage window of composites could attain 3 V, which is much more stable than Li 3 N (< 1 V). No thermodynamic incident appears in DSC curves except for the orthorhombic-hexagonal transition endothermic peak of LiBH 4 in the x LiBH 4 -Li 3 N composites. It confirms the phases stabilities of the x LiBH 4 -Li 3 N ( x = 1, 2, 4) composites before and after CV tests. In-situ solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) tests on LiBH 4 -Li 3 N illustrated that the high conductivity in low temperature should not come from high-temperature phase of LiBH 4 . Therefore, the enhancement of lithium ionic mobility of the composite might be attributed to both Li 3 N and the interfaces between small crystallites where transmission electron microscope (TEM) morphology showed the appearance of amorphous grain boundary.

Commercial lithium-ion batteries have safety risks due to the use of electrolyte-containing flammable organic solvents. The development of all solid-state lithium ion batteries with solid electrolyte is a feasible technical way to improve the safety of batteries. In this work, PVDF-based composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) were prepared by coupling Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The electrochemical performance and interfacial compatibility between composite electrolyte and electrode were improved by the combination of appropriate amount of Li-ion-conducting particles and the insulating polymer. The corresponding solid-state battery of LiFePO 4 |PVDF-LLZTO-CSE| Li is fabricated and delivers initial discharge capacity of 162.4 mAh g -1 , and coulomb efficiency is approximately 98.5%. And the solid-state battery exhibits satisfactory rate capability and cycling stability at room temperature. This study suggests that a combination of the lithium garnet particles and insulating polymer is one of the promising methods to solve the problem of liquid electrolyte.

Lithium metal batteries based on solid electrolytes are considered as promising candidates with high energy density and safety. However, the weak solid-solid contact between electrolyte and electrode can easily lead to interface instability and lithium ions discontinuous migration, which seriously reduces the electrochemical performance of the battery. Herein, we construct a soft gel interfacial layer to improve the stability of the solid-solid interface between electrolyte and electrode by means of polyester-based monomers and imidazole-based ionic liquids. Based on this, garnet-type Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) particles as inorganic ceramic filler were introduced in the layer to obtain composite electrolytes with high ionic conductivity (up to 1.1 × 10 −3 S/cm at 25 °C). As a result, the assembled lithium symmetric battery of Li|THCE-15%LLZTO|Li suggests excellent cycling stability with 700 h at 0.1 mA/cm 2 at 50 °C, and the lithium metal batteries of LFP|THCE-15%LLZTO|Li delivers high initial discharge capacity of 128.2 mA ·h/g with capacity retain of 75.48% after 150 cycles at 2 C. This work paves a new route to build safe and stable lithium metal batteries with synergistic introduction of composite electrolytes between electrolyte and electrode using soft gel interfacial layer and inorganic filler.

We prepare the mesoporous polythiophene–WO 3 film through in situ polymerization which is initiated by WO 3 , and fabricate the electrochromic device with the composite film. The influences of the electrolyte ions, film morphologies and counter electrode on the electrochromism of the devices are explored by UV–Vis transmittance spectra and cyclic voltammetry tests. With the aim to enhance the contrast optical transmittance, we develop the binary composite electrolytes of LiClO 4 and N(C 4 H 9 ) 4 ClO 4 solution which can promote intercalation/deintercalation process. Besides that, we use polyethylene oxide as pore-forming agent on the polythiophene–WO 3 films, so that it will be easier for electrolyte ions to diffuse in the porous film. A NiO layer also has a complementary effect on the cathodic coloration films and increases the contrast optical transmittance remarkably. Equipped with the binary electrolyte and the NiO layer as the counter electrode, the film device exhibits high performance with the contrast optical transmittance (ΔT) of 62 % and the coloration efficiency of 212.6 cm 2 /C.

The developing sulfide solid electrolyte is a promising way to overcome shuttle effect of polysulfide in the traditional liquid Li-S battery. However, an air stable sulfide solid electrolyte and competitive solid–solid interface structure must be constructed firstly. Herein, we have designed an organic–inorganic multi-scale composite electrolytes to overcome the interfacial issues of solid state Li-S batteries (SSLSBs). The organic–inorganic composite electrolyte consists of a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) and an oxygen doped inorganic sulfide solid electrolyte. The O doped sulfide solid electrolyte improves its chemical stability and suppresses the lithium dendrites. A thin GPE film protects the crystal structural stability during cycles and greatly enhances the performance of O doped sulfide solid electrolyte due to the GPE not only constructs soft interface contact between S cathode and solid electrolyte, but also builds lithium ion transport paths by ionic liquid between them. Those SSLSBs display a very good cycling performance with the specific capacity of 1023 mAh/g after 50 cycles at 60 °C and 541 mAh/g after 150 cycles at 30 °C under same rate of 0.1 C. This study demonstrates that the development of advanced solid-state Li-S battery needs to fully integrate a number of technical advantages.

Paramount attention has been paid on solid polymer electrolytes due to their potential in enhancement of energy density as well as improvement of safety. Herein, the composite electrolytes consisting of Li-salt-free polyethylene oxides and 200 nm-sized Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 particles interfacially wetted by [BMIM]TF 2 N of 1.8 μL cm −2 have been prepared. Such wetted ionic liquid remains the solid state of membrane electrolytes and decreases the interface impedance between the electrodes and the electrolytes. There is no release of the liquid phase from the PEO matrix when the pressure of 5.0 × 10 4 Pa being applied for 24 h. The interfacially wetted membrane electrolytes show the conductivity of 2.2 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 20 °C, which is one order of magnitude greater than that of the membranes without the wetted ionic liquids. The conduction mechanism is related to a large number of lithium ions releasing from Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 particles and the improved conductive paths along the ion-liquid-wetted interfaces between the polymer matrix and ceramic grains. When the membranes being used in the solid-state LiFePO 4 /Li and LiFe 0.15 Mn 0.85 PO 4 /Li cells at 25 °C, the excellent rate capability and superior cycle stability has been shown. The results provide a new prospect for solid polymer electrolytes used for room-temperature solid-state lithium batteries .
