Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are preferable in the pursuit for developing high-energy Li metal batteries due to their inherent flexibility and intimate contact with electrodes. However, continuous interfacial parasitic reactions and undesired Li dendrite growth caused by inhomogeneous plating/stripping of Li+ result in rapid deterioration of an SPE/Li interface. Herein, a novel Zn2+-containing SPE (SPE-xZn) with anionic groups partially tethered on the polymer chains is developed to meet these challenges. During cycling, Zn2+ cations inside the SPE-xZn will gradually migrate to the surface of a Li electrode and then evolve to a Li-Zn alloy layer, where Li+ can diffuse more efficiently. Meanwhile, owing to the electrostatic interaction, the immobilized anionic groups within SPE-xZn can alleviate local concentrated Li+ flux. The synergistic effects of an in situ formed alloy layer and unique macromolecular structure can promote uniform plating/stripping of Li, thus yielding a more stable SPE-xZn/Li interface. Therefore, steady cycling over 300 h at 0.2 mA cm–2 is achieved by Li/SPE-5Zn/Li, and an impressive capacity retention of 87.3% at 0.5 C after 800 cycles is realized by LFP/SPE-5Zn/Li with an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.90%.

In this work, the Li/Zn-doped near-infrared reflective inorganic blue pigment YIn0.9–xMn0.1MxO3−δ (M = Li/Zn, x = 0–0.4) was synthesized by the high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The phase structures, morphologies, color properties and optical properties of synthetic pigments were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), CIE1976 color space system, UV–vis-NIR spectrophotometer, and other instruments. All the doped samples have a hexagonal structure with space group P63cm (185). Compared with YIn0.9Mn0.1O3 (b* = −45.91), Li/Zn doped pigments have richer blue hues (b* is ranged from −29.59 to −55.14), which can meet the needs of public’s demands for blue hues. The NIR solar reflectance (R*) of all the samples are above 70%, and the highest R* with different doping concentrations can reach 86% (M = Li, x = 0.2), which is about 16% higher than YIn0.9Mn0.1O3. YIn0.9–xMn0.1MxO3−δ (M = Zn/Li, x = 0–0.4) are indicated to possess higher near-infrared solar reflectivity than other blue compounds, including commercial products. The surface temperature difference between the Li-doped (x = 0.2)/Zn-doped (x = 0.1) paints and commercial ultramarine paint can reach about 20 and 10 °C, respectively. The above properties ensure the potential applications of environmentally friendly YIn0.9–xMn0.1MxO3−δ pigments with a rich blue-hue in the field of energy-saving materials.

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) empolying sulfide solid electrolyte and lithium metal anode can afford improved energy density and safety. However, their large-scale application is hampered by the rigidity of ceramic–based electrolyte and the inevitable growth of lithium dendrites . Herein, a novel, flexible, high-conductivity and free-standing sulfide electrolyte membrane (Li 6 PS 5 Cl-polypropylene carbonate6, (LPSCl-PPC6)) with a thickness of 60 μm is prepared via methodology of blade coating and hot pressing, which exhibits a high Li + conductivity (3.1 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 25 °C) and a wide electrochemical window (4.7 V vs Li + /Li) at 25 °C. Additionally, a bifunctional interphase with Li-Zn/LiCl is implanted on lithium metal surface to enhance the stability of electrolyte/lithium anode, which effectively prevents the growth of lithium dendrites and the internal short circuit of lithium symmetric battery. Benefiting from the synergistic effect, the assembled ASSLBs of S-CNTs/LPSCl-PPC6/Li-Zn/LiCl|Li and LLZO@NCM93/LPSCl-PPC6/Li-Zn/LiCl|Li exhibit high initial capacity of 1183.5 mAh g −1 (193.6 mAh g −1 ) and exceptionally cyclic stability with capacity retention of 89.2% over 150 cycles at 0.05C (93.2% over 100 cycles at 0.1C). This highly conductive sulfide-based composite electrolyte and interface engineering provides a promising strategy for achieving high performance ASSLBs.

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) with high energy density and superior safety have been recognized as next-generation energy storage systems and have attracted a lot of attention. Garnet-type oxide solid-state electrolytes, especially Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO), with high ionic conductivity, low activation energy and superior stability with Li, are among the most promising solid-state electrolyte materials. However, high interfacial resistance, uneven lithium deposition and lithium dendrite growth between Li/LLZTO interfaces have hindered the industrialization of SSLMBs. In this work, a novel mortise–tenon-like hybrid ionic/electronic conductive interface (Li/LZFC@LLZTO) is constructed, which is composed of LiF, LiCl, and a Li–Zn alloy through an in situ transformation reaction. As expected, the interfacial impedance of Li|LZFC@LLZTO|Li is significantly reduced from 128 Ω cm2 to 2.7 Ω cm2, the critical current density increases from 0.3 mA cm−2 to 2.1 mA cm−2, and a prominent cycling performance of 6600 h at 0.2 mA cm−2 or 900 h at 0.4 mA cm−2 is achieved. Consequently, both the Li|LZFC@LLZTO|LiFePO4 and Li|LZFC@LLZTO|LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 full cells exhibit excellent rate performance. Furthermore, Li|LZFC@LLZTO|LiFePO4 can maintain a high discharge specific capacity close to 140 mA h g−1 at 0.2C after 150 cycles of stable cycling. This work lays the foundation for developing garnet-based SSLMBs with high critical current density, low interfacial impedance and long-term cycling performance.
