Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) represent a prime direction for next-generation high-energy-density storage technologies. As the central component for developing SSLMBs, current research focuses on designing solid-state electrolytes featuring high ionic conductivity and low electronic conductivity, along with low cost. However, great challenges are encountered. This work develops a composite solid electrolyte (CSE) consisting of a doped Li4Ti4.95Zr0.05O12 (LTZO1) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), which has a network structure that enables rapid ion conduction and electron blocking. Density functional theory calculations confirm that Zr doping can get a reduced energy barrier for Li+ transport, with ionic conductivity increasing from 0.228 mS cm–1 to 0.665 mS cm–1 and dramatically suppressing its electronic conductivity from 0.11 mS cm–1 to 2.4 × 10–6 S cm–1. The optimized CSE exhibits enhanced ionic conductivity from 0.171 mS cm–1 to 0.581 mS cm–1, further weakens electronic conductivity, and has a critical current density of up to 5.5 mA cm–2. These excellent properties make solid-state batteries such as Li|LTZO1|LiFePO4 and Li|LTZO1|NCM811 achieve good performance, including capacity and cycling. This study provides an effective strategy for preparing practical CSEs for SSLMBs.

Solid electrolytes equipped battery show promise in solving energy storage and ecological concerns owing to their excellent electrical conductivity and chemical stability. Only a limited number of substances satisfy the demanding criterion of high ionic conductivity (≥ 10 −3 S/cm), while using non-toxic elements. In this work, the designed Na 3.3 Zn 0.1 Sb 0.9 S 4 electrolyte, a zinc-doped sodium sulfide ion conductor, with a maximum conductivity of 1.48 × 10 −3 S/cm under normal conditions, and a low activation energy of 0.128 eV was achieved. This was ruled by substituting low-valence Zinc for antimony in the SbS 4 3− cell, maintaining efficient ion transport pathways. Additionally, the electrolyte demonstrated strong air stability under humid conditions and emitted minimal H 2 S. The origin of heterovalent ion doping and the impact of thermal effects on electrochemical performance were discussed in detail, which were crucial to promote the development of sodium-ion solid electrolytes.

To obtain high-ionic-conductivity and high-electron-conductivity electrode materials, we design novel dual high-conductivity networks through importing a polymeric gel electrolyte into the electrode bulk by doping gold nanoparticles, which endows the membrane electrode with not only a high electron conductivity of 1.66 s·cm–1 but also a high ionic conductivity of 2.7 × 10–2 s·cm–1, as well as a good surface area capacitance of 1098 mF·cm–2 at 0.5 mA·cm–2. The membrane electrode shows great mechanical strength, high flexibility, and tremendous stability, and the design concept based on dual conductive networks could be also applied to other electrode systems and other energy storage fields.

Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 exhibits ferromagnetic and magnetic properties , which are expected to exert a discernible influence on the thermoelectric properties of SrTiO 3 composite. The La-Yb-Nb-doped SrTiO 3 powders, synthesized via the hydrothermal method , were prepressed and then buried in carbon powder before being sintered in a muffle furnace at 1573 K for 5 h. The Yb dopant precipitated during the sintering process, leading to the in-situ formation of Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 . The content of Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 increased with an increasing Yb concentration, resulting in a reduction in thermal conductivity and grain boundary potentials, and an increase in the peak electrical conductivity . The La and Nb dopants affect the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient. Therefore, by controlling the La, Nb, and Yb ratios, the La8Yb2Nb15 sample achieved the largest power factor ( PF ) value of 0.9 mWm −1 K −2 and a low thermal conductivity of 2.9 W m −1 K −1 , resulting in a high ZT value of 0.32 at 1000 K.

Amorphous Li–Si–Ti–P–O (LSTP) thin film electrolyte was successfully prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering using Li 1.4 Si 0.4 Ti 1.6 (PO 4 ) 3 powder targets and stainless steel sheet as substrate. The effects of sputtering power on the structure, morphology, ionic conductivity, and electronic conductivity of the LSTP thin film electrolyte were investigated. The results showed that the LSTP thin film electrolyte obtained with sputtering power kept at 160 W, displayed uniform particles compacted in arrangement, proper stoichiometric ratio to the powder target as well as sufficient Li-ion for diffusion. Hence, it held a considerable ionic conductivity of 4.12 × 10 −6 S cm −1 and a high σ ion / σ ele ratio about 8 magnitudes, indicating that it can be used as film electrolyte in all-solid-state lithium batteries.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a kind of functional porous materials with the potential applications in gas adsorption and separation, catalysis, energy storage, sensor, and electrical conductivity . However, the insulating nature of the mostly MOFs limits their application in the electronic field. A new three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework composed of Cu 2+ centres and polyacid linkers (TATAB 3− ) was synthesized by solvothermal method , which contains two types of Cu 24 cages. The crystal structure is cubic and each Cu is coordinated by five oxygen atoms which can be confirmed by the single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectra and TGA analysis. The conductivity for this 3D MOF is increased by four orders of magnitude after doping with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and realizes the transformation from an insulator to semiconductor.

Wireless passive sensors based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) provide a good solution for the measurement demand under high temperature and harsh conditions. SiBCN ceramics have excellent mechanical properties at high temperature and semiconductor behavior, making them potential for electrode of SAW sensors. To achieve the target conductivity, a series of SiBCN and SiNiBCN coatings are prepared by polymer derived ceramics (PDC) method and the influence of microstructure on the conductivity of the coatings is discussed. The results show that the conductivity of the SiBCN coatings is affected by both the content of free carbon and the degree of graphitization. The introduction of Ni leads to the formation of Ni 2 Si conductive microcrystals at lower temperatures and catalyzes the graphitization of the carbon phase, so that the SiNiBCN coatings show lower electrical resistivity. The amount of the metal conductive phase and the graphitization degree of the carbon phase increase with the pyrolysis temperature, resulting in decrease of the SiNiBCN coatings resistivity.

Cubic garnet-type Al-contained Li 6.75 La 3 Zr 1.75 Ta 0.25 O 12 (Al-LLZTO) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction using either Li 2 CO 3 or LiOH·H 2 O as Li source. The effects of Li source on the lithium ionic conductivity of Al-LLZTO ceramics were systematically investigated by comparing the synthesis processes and characteristics of the mother powders and the microstructures of the sintered pellets made with different Li sources. Different calcination processes of the raw materials mixtures with different Li sources are revealed by thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry investigation. The mother powder derived from LiOH·H 2 O is of higher sintering activity than those made from Li 2 CO 3 at the same calcination temperature. For the LiOH·H 2 O-derived pellets, higher relative density and enhanced lithium-ion conductivity is achieved at a much lower sintering temperature of 1100 °C as compared with Li 2 CO 3 -derived pellets. The highest conductivity obtained at room temperature is 9.28 × 10 −4 S cm −1 , which is the highest value reported to date for the same Ta doping level.

Smart sensing and excellent actuation abilities of natural organisms have driven scientists to develop bionic soft-bodied robots. However, most conventional robots suffer from poor electrical conductivity, limiting their application in real-time sensing and actuation. Here, we report a novel strategy to enhance the electrical conductivity of hydrogels that integrated actuation and strain-sensing functions for bioinspired self-sensing soft actuators. Conductive hydrogels were synthesized in situ by copolymerizing MXene nanosheets with thermosensitive N -isopropylacrylamide and acrylamide under a direct current electric field. The resulting hydrogels exhibited high electrical conductivity (2.11 mS/cm), good sensitivity with a gauge factor of 4.79 and long-term stability. The developed hydrogels demonstrated remarkable capabilities in detecting human motions at subtle strains such as facial expressions and large strains such as knee bending. Additionally, the hydrogel electrode patch was capable of monitoring physiological signals. Furthermore, the developed hydrogel showed good thermally induced actuation effects when the temperature was higher than 30 °C. Overall, this work provided new insights for the design of sensory materials with integrated self-sensing and actuation capabilities, which would pave the way for the development of high-performance conductive soft materials for intelligent soft robots and automated machinery.

Studying the concentration and temperature dependence of the conductivity of electrolyte solution is of great significance for the evaluation and improvement of the performance of the electrochemical system. In this paper, based on the influence of the number of free ions and ion mobility on the conductivity, a semiempirical conductivity model with five parameters was proposed to correlate the conductivity, concentration and temperature data of electrolyte solutions at medium and high concentrations. The conductivities of NaCl and CaCl2 in propylene carbonate–H2O binary solvents were measured at temperatures varying from 283.15 to 333.15 K. The validity of the model was verified by the experimental data of this paper and the conductivity, concentration, and temperature data of 28 electrolyte solution systems in the literature. The electrolyte solutions investigated in this paper included binary organic solvent systems, pure organic solvent systems, and aqueous solution systems. The results showed that the proposed model can fit the experimental data well for both pure solvent and mixed solvents systems, which is of great value to practical engineering applications.

LiBH4 is one of the most promising solid electrolyte materials for use in solid-state batteries because its hexagonal phase above 110 °C offers Li-ion conductivity of almost 10−3 S cm−1. However, near room temperature, its orthorhombic phase delivers Li-ion conductivity of only 10−8 S cm−1, which considerably hampers its further applications. In the present study, a highly disordered interface between LiBH4 and two-dimensional MoS2 in the composite material was formed, yielding ionic conductivity of 10−4 S cm−1 at room temperature. LiBH4 and MoS2 are found to be in close contact without the formation of any intermediate phase at the interface. First-principles calculations employing density functional theory (DFT) and the nudged elastic band (NEB) method reveal that the migration energy barrier on three specific pathways could be established via microstructure analyses. It was found that the interface between the two phases yields the lowest Li-ion diffusion barrier among all the possible Li-ion pathways; further, the superior conductivity of the composite could be attributed to the interface with high Li-ion conductivity. This study proposes a new strategy for designing solid electrolytes and provides certain possibilities for two-dimensional materials to serve as superior solid electrolytes.

Spiky polycrystalline SnO 2 balls assembled from pyramid-shaped SnO 2 nanocrystals with surface oxygen vacancies were synthesized by a simple and facile in-situ molten salt oxidation method using SnCl 2 as the tin source and graphite as the surface reductant. In this method, perfect SnO 2 nanocrystals are first formed on the surface of graphite particles at 500 °C. By increasing the processing temperature to 700 °C, the formation of surface oxygen vacancy defects was confirmed, supported by various characterisation methods including Raman and XPS spectroscopy. A sharp increase in the bulk electrical conductivity of the samples was detected by exceeding the onset temperature corresponding to the formation of oxygen deficient SnO 2 crystals, at which the conductivity of the sample significantly outperformed that of commercial SnO 2 nanoparticles. The formation of oxygen vacancies on SnO 2 crystals is thermodynamically studied, and suggested to occur by surface carbon reduction of the crystals at sufficiently high temperatures. The enhanced electrical conductivity of oxygen deficient SnO 2 crystals can lead to a wider application of tin oxides in advanced electrical applications.
