Residual ethanol was used as an activation agent to control the status of corn cellulose (CN cellulose) solution and thereby the morphology of CN cellulose fibers after electrospinning. A suitable amount of ethanol could combine with the CN cellulose chains to reduce their ionic absorbance, improving the migration ability of ions in the cellulose– N , N -dimethylacetamide (DMAc)/LiCl–ethanol system. As a result, the entanglement of the molecular chains of CN cellulose in solution was reduced. Excess ethanol reduced the migration ability of ions and enhanced the strong entanglement of CN cellulose in solution. By thus adjusting the status of the CN cellulose solution, the fiber morphology and diameter distribution after electrospinning could be controlled. Based on the experimental results, this approach represents an important and effective approach using ethanol as an activation and adjusting agent for CN cellulose to achieve formation of high-quality electrospun fibers.

Emerging organic synaptic devices are promising in exploring soft and biocompatible neuromorphic computing systems. By means of a simple and low-cost solution process, the polymer thin-film memristors are designed and characterized. The polymer memristors have a bilayer structure composed of an ion-rich semiconducting layer and an ion-collecting conducting layer, where the ion redistribution depending on device operation history has an impact on carrier concentration and results in the memristive characteristics. A visible electrochromic feature is observed during the electrical measurements, supporting the proposed Li + ion drift/diffusion mechanism. The polymer memristors show the continuous and reversible conductivity tuning with a temporary memory effect, which enables the successful emulation of the frequency-dependent synaptic plasticity. The polymer thin-film memristors may offer a strategy for developing building blocks of organic neuromorphic circuits.

Sodium-rich antiperovskite (NaRAP) ionic conductors have been considered promising inorganic electrolytes for all-solid-state sodium batteries due to their low fabrication cost, high sodium ionic conductivity and good structural tolerance. The high structural flexibility of NaRAPs allows variety of chemical substitutions to improve conductivity; in particular, the substitution of the anion cluster has effectively proved promoting Na+ migration, both experimentally and theoretically. Herein, we report an unexpected boost in Na+ ionic conductivity that climbs to 0.37 mS cm−1 at 485 K by introducing NO2− groups in the antiperovskite Na3ONO2 system. Its mechanism was fully investigated by neutron powder diffraction and DFT calculations, proving that the NO2− group on the lattice center, can utilize its terminal O2− anion to facilitate the Na+ migration via the Na–O interaction, when thermally excited at 485 K. The detailed migration path is also discussed by both maximum entropy method (MEM) and DFT calculations.

Amorphous conductors with high ionic conductivity are a promising candidate as electrolytes in all-solid state batteries. In this work, we prepared amorphous Ag 3 PS 4 conductor via a chemo-mechanical milling process, and then characterized its structure and electrochemical properties . The results show that Ag + conductivity of the amorphous Ag 3 PS 4 was remarkably enhanced by three orders of magnitude compared to its crystalline counterpart. Furthermore, the amorphous sample exhibits lower activation energy ( E a ) for ionic conductivity as a function of temperature. Structural characterizations indicate that the tetrahedral [PS 4 ] units were retained in amorphous Ag 3 PS 4 , but the Ag + ions became more liberated than those in the crystalline state, leading to the enhanced migration of Ag + ions, thereby, the ionic conductivity in amorphous Ag 3 PS 4 is drastically increased. This work provides insight into the crucial role of the disorder in raising the ionic conductivity of amorphized chalcogenide materials containing mobile ions.

Mixed electronic and oxide ionic conduction was enabled in digermanate-type La2−xCaxGe2O7−x/2 containing Ge3O10 chains and isolated GeO4 units by substitution of La3+ with Ca2+. The structure and solid solution limit of Ca doped La2Ge2O7 were studied by systematic experiments, including rotation electron diffraction (RED), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and neutron powder diffraction (NPD) experiments, etc. The preferred occupation of Ca2+ and oxygen vacancies was investigated by Rietveld analysis of the NPD data. The obtained conducting material La1.925Ca0.075Ge2O6.963 exhibits superior thermal stability and an order of magnitude improvement in conductivity compared to the parent La2Ge2O7 (∼9 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 1000 °C). BVEL calculations reveal that the oxygen vacancies were stabilized and transported within the framework of La2Ge2O7 by sharing oxygen and oxygen exchange between the adjacent Ge3O10 chains and GeO4 units, exhibiting a three-dimensional oxide ion transport nature.

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.

Spinel LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO) has gained significant attention as a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high working voltage (>4.7 V) and energy density . However, challenges such as electrolyte decomposition-induced material interface erosion and transition metal dissolution under high operating voltage hinder its commercial use. In this study, a thin and uniform Sm 2 O 3 layer has been successfully deposited on the surface of LNMO using a wet chemical method . A comprehensive investigation of surface morphology , crystal structure, and electrochemical performance of the modified LNMO is conducted. The results demonstrate that the Sm 2 O 3 surface modification acts as a robust multifunctional protective layer, effectively shielding against hydrofluoric acid-induced chemical attack and enhancing the migration efficiency of lithium ions . Notably, the capacity retention rate of LNMO@Sm 2 O 3 (3 wt%) remains up to 88 % after 280 cycles, significantly surpassing the uncoated counterpart. The coated material exhibits a capacity of 114 mAh g −1 even under 10 C rate conditions. Moreover, the AC impedance values and manganese dissolution of the modified material in the organic electrolyte are considerably lower than those of the uncoated counterpart. Theoretical calculations strongly support the experimental findings, revealing higher Mn vacancy formation energy and density of states at the Fermi energy level for the Sm 2 O 3 -modified electrodes. This research contributes to the field of surface modification and paves the way for further enhancements in the electrochemical performance of other high-voltage manganese-based lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
