Polymeric ionic liquid-based gel electrolyte films are a new generation of electrolyte materials for flexible energy storage device applications. In this work, Li-ion conducting gel electrolyte films are prepared with the polymeric ionic liquid poly(diallydimethylammonium) bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide (poly(DADMATFSI)) as the host polymer and the lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt as the dopant . The crystalline nature, thermal stability, ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability window of the polymeric electrolyte films are analyzed by various characterization techniques. It is found that the polymeric electrolyte films exhibit high flexibility and excellent thermal stability. Their room-temperature electrical conductivity increases with increasing LiTFSI concentration and reaches a high value of 1.00 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 20 wt% LiTFSI. The ionic transference numbers of the polymeric electrolyte films are in the range of 0.98–0.99, indicating that they are perfect ion conductors. Finally, the electrochemical stability window of the 20 wt% LiTFSI-doped polymeric electrolyte film is determined as approximately 6 V, which is a promising value for flexible energy storage device applications.

Solid-state batteries with high energy density and safety are promising next-generation battery systems. However, lithium oxide and lithium sulfide electrolytes suffer low ionic conductivity and poor electrochemical stability, respectively. Lithium halide solid electrolyte shows high conductivity and good compatibility with the pristine high-voltage cathode but limited applications due to the high price of rare metal. Zr-based lithium halides with low cost and high stability possess great potential. Herein, a small amount of In 3+ is introduced in Li 2 ZrCl 6 to synthesize Li 2.25 Zr 0.75 In 0.25 Cl 6 electrolytes with a high room temperature Li-ion conductivity of 1.08 mS/cm. Solid-state batteries using Li 2.25 Zr 0.75 In 0.25 Cl 6 /Li 5.5 PS 4.5 Cl 1.5 bilayer solid electrolytes combined with Li-In anode and pristine LiNi 0.7 Mn 0.2 Co 0.1 O 2 cathode deliver high initial discharge capacities under different cut-off voltages. This work provides an effective strategy for enhancing the conductivity of Li 2 ZrCl 6 electrolytes, promoting their applications in solid-state batteries.

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.

Proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cells (H-SOECs) are attracting attentions of researchers due to their unique advantages. The proton-conducting material BaCe 0·7 Zr 0·1 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3-δ (BZCYYb) has both the advantages of barium ceria-based and barium zirconate-based materials. BZCYYb material usually is synthesized by solid-state reaction (SSR) method, hence the densification of this electrolyte material is the key to restrict the application of H-SOECs. In this paper, effects of adding 1 wt% of different sintering aids (NiO, CuO, ZnO) to BZCYYb on the grain size and the conductivity are investigated. After adding 1 wt% of NiO and CuO sintering aids, BZCYYb electrolyte achieves ideal density. The electrical conductivity of four samples (BZCYYb without adding sintering aid, BZCYYb with 1 wt% NiO, CuO, ZnO, respectively) is tested under different steam concentrations of air, nitrogen, hydrogen, and nitrogen-hydrogen mixture. The conductivity increased after the sintering aid is added. With the increase of steam concentration, the conductivity decreased slightly and then increased due to electron holes under oxygen atmosphere with steam at high temperature. In other atmospheres, the conductivity increases with the steam concentration. In the atmosphere of 20 vol% H 2 O-Air and H 2 , the conductivity of the BZCYYb samples with 1 wt% CuO is about 1.087 × 10 −2 S cm −1 and 9.02 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 650 °C, and the conductivity of the BZCYYb samples with 1 wt% NiO is 1.277 × 10 −2 S cm −1 and 8.24 × 10 −3 S cm −1 , respectively. However, compared with NiO, CuO has advantages in promoting hydration reaction and proton conduction of BZCYYb electrolyte.

Owing to the high theoretic capacity (2596 mAh g −1 ) and suitable lithiation potential (～0.7 V vs. Li + /Li), Black phosphorus (BP) is considered as an ideal anode material for the fast-charging lithium-ion batteries. However, BP still faces the large volume change and low Li + transfer during the charge/discharge. In this work, a facile two-step high-energy ball milling method is developed to synthesis the black phosphorus@TiP 2 –C (CBP@TiP 2 –C) nanocomposite for the high-rate performance anode material, in which the conductive nanocrystalline TiP 2 is in-situ introduced and uniformly distributed into BP-C matrix. We reveal that the uniformly dispersed TiP 2 nanocrystals can enhance the electronic and ionic conductivities of active particles and the electrode reaction kinetics. The lithiation product cubic Li y TiP 4 phase is beneficial to release the stress, reduce the Li + diffusion energy barrier and accelerate the Li + extraction from LiP 3 upon delithiation . Moreover, the contact among different components can be improved by Ti–C and P–C bonds in the CBP@TiP 2 –C, thus ensuring excellent electric contact within the material and enhancing the structural stability of composites. As a result, the CBP@TiP 2 –C anode displays a high reversible capacity of 1007.4 mAh g −1 at 10.0 A g −1 and excellent capacity retention of 925.6 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 2 A g −1 .

A series of novel high temperature negative temperature coefficient (NTC) composite ceramics based on (1- x )CaMn 0.05 Zr 0.95 O 3 - x NiMn 2 O 4 ( x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were fabricated by using the solid-state method. The Rietveld refinement method and backscattered electron (BSE) image confirmed the absence of any other phase. The conduction mechanism of the composite ceramics was determined by analyzing the complex impedance and resistance-temperature characteristics, which could be related to the formation of a continuous Mn 3+ -O-Mn 4+ network. The effect of spinel content on the high temperature stability was analyzed using aging tests. The ρ 400°C , ρ 700°C and B 400/700 values of the NTC thermistors were determined to be 4.9 × 10 6 –1.2 × 10 4 , 1.4 × 10 5 –0.8 × 10 3 Ω cm and 12739-5712 K, respectively. This indicated that the electrical properties could be tuned by adjusting the weight ratio of CaMn 0.05 Zr 0.95 O 3 and NiMn 2 O 4 . The findings obtained in this study reveal that the composite NTC thermistor exhibits a good application potential at high temperatures and under harsh environments.

Nowadays, although highly conductive polymer composites filled with two-dimensional graphene-based nano-fillers have been explored extensively, constructing nanocomposites with high performance, industrial feasibility, and more efficient conductive networks at lower nano-filler contents remains a challenge. To achieve the above objectives, industrial wastes microsilica powder (N98) with amorphous spherical structure and large particle size is employed in this work. And the hybrids (TGN) are obtained between N98 and graphene (GE) by the effective bridging and interface coupling of tannic acid, which can achieve the purpose of obtaining conductive composites with low-filler contents by traditional polymer processing technologies. The volume exclusion effect of N98 and its own assisted dispersion effect can prevent and attenuate graphene agglomeration, enabling the formation of a dense, complete and uniform conductive network in natural rubber (NR) matrix based on a small amount of graphene addition (parts per thousand). Thus, it give the nanocomposite highly functional, especially electric property. The results show that when the ratio of GE to N98 hybridization is 1:20, N98 and graphene are more uniformly hybridized together, and the volume exclusion effect is best matched with the rubber composites, and the comprehensive performance is optimal. Moreover, the electrical conductivity of NR/TG 1 N 20 nanocomposite can reach the balanced value of 10 −3 S·cm −1 with the GE loading of 0.48 phr, which shows the effectiveness of the prepared hybrids.

The poor interface between the active materials, solid electrolytes, and conductive additives in composite cathode materials is the key factor restricting the performance of the all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery. Here, the composite cathode material was prepared through the method of one-step ball milling. The sulfide electrolyte Li 3 PS 4 (LPS) was formed on the surface of the active material Li 2 S while the conductive additives were incorporated, and the conductive ions and electronic network were constructed simultaneously. After adding an appropriate amount of carbon nanotubes (cnt), the composite cathode exhibited high specific capacity of 1145.2 mAh g −1 after 30 times of cycling at a current density of 0.2 mA cm −2 , and the battery with ultrahigh areal Li 2 S loading also displays high capacity of 962.6 mA g −1 . The composite cathode with high Li 2 S content (56.3%) was prepared, with excellent performance exhibited: the capacity is 741 mAh g −1 after 30 times of cycling at a current density of 0.2 mA cm −2 .
Without additional sulfide electrolyte, the composite cathode materials were prepared by one-step ball milling with lithium sulfide, phosphorus pentasulfide, acetylene black, and carbon nanotubes as raw materials.

Si/Cu/Zn ternary microspheres are prepared by a pulsed electrical discharging method in a scalable manner. Zn and partial Si within these microspheres can then be selectively removed by chemical etching to form Si/Cu nanowires. The Si/Cu (~62 atom% Si) nanowires show a high discharge capacity of 2092 mAh g −1 and a high capacity retention after 500 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g −1 . The excellent rate and cycling performance are attributed to the conductive Cu network and nanowire structure, which increases the electric conductivity of the electrode and accommodates the volumetric change of silicon during the charge/discharge process. Furthermore, the Si/Cu nanowire anode utilizes relatively cheap materials and flexible processing methods, costing approximately $0.3 g −1 . This work presents a novel method to prepare nanowire-like Si-based anode materials , which is promising to boost the yield of Si alloy NWs with low cost.

Ultraflexible electronics have received extensive attention due to their favorable properties, such as superior mechanical robustness, light weight and good compatibility with large-area roll-to-roll fabrication. Here we present a flexible sandwiched tungsten trioxide/silver nanotrough network/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)–poly(styrene sulfonate) multi-layer transparent conducting electrode with prominent conductivity (sheet resistance as low as 1.08 Ω sq−1) and transparency (85%). In particular, the flexible transparent electrode exhibits excellent mechanical robustness upon bending and stretching. This hybrid electrode can be further adhered tightly to a layer of WO3 to form an electrochromic device, which simultaneously displays a rapid switching time (0.75 s/1.82 s for bleaching/coloring) and high cyclic performance (86% retention of the initial optical contrast after cycling for 30 000 s). In addition, our electrode can also be fabricated on various flexible substrates, such as polyethylene cling wrap, polydimethylsiloxane and Ecoflex, with sustained electrochromic properties after bending, twisting, stretching and even strong kneading. Our work provides new opportunities for the next generation of flexible and wearable electronics applied on various flexible substrates.

Solid-state electrolytes with high ionic conductivity , large electrochemical window, good mechanical properties , and easy processability are needed for high-energy solid-state lithium batteries . In this work, composite membranes consisting of lithium garnet (i.e. Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 , LLZTO) particles and Li-salt-free polyethylene oxides (PEOs) are produced as solid-state electrolytes. Li-ion-conducting particles in nano-scale are crucial for the enhancement of conductivity and the membranes containing ~40 nm LLZTO particles exhibit conductivities nearly two orders of magnitude larger than those with the micro-scale ones, which is attributed to the difference in specific surface area related to the percolation effect. Compared to the conventional PEO doped with lithium salt, the insulating PEO in PEO:LLZTO membrane electrolyte is conducive to the suppression of lithium dendrite growth owing to prohibition of current flow. With PEO:LLZTO membrane electrolytes in conductivity of 2.1×10 −4 S cm −1 at 30 °C and 5.6×10 −4 S cm −1 at 60 °C, the solid-state LiFePO 4 /PEO:LLZTO/Li and LiFe 0.15 Mn 0.85 PO 4 /PEO:LLZTO/Li cells deliver energy densities of 345 Wh kg −1 (662 Wh L −1 ) and 405 Wh kg −1 (700 Wh L −1 ) (without the package weight or volume) with good rate capability and cycling performance. This study suggests that the conjunction of nano-scale Li-ion-conducting particles and an insulating polymer provides a promising solution to produce powerful solid-state electrolytes for high-performance solid-state lithium batteries .

A novel cheap eutectogel (ETG) membrane based on the deep eutectic solvent (DES) immobilized poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene) (PVDF-HFP) is proposed as a solid electrolyte for safe lithium metal batteries in this study. The composition of DES is optimized, which is prepared by mixing the N-methylacetamide (NMAC) and the lithium bis [(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imid (LiTFSI) with a molar ratio of 4:1. The eutectogel is formed by incorporating 70 wt% DES into the PVDF-HFP, which is non-flammable and shows excellent mechanical properties. This ETG membrane electrolyte with a thickness about 25 μm possess a high ionic conductivity (3.05 × 10 −4 S cm −1 ) at room temperature and a wide electrochemical stability window (~5 V). The Li//ETG//LiFePO 4 full cells deliver an acceptable discharge capacity of ~133.9 mAh g −1 at 0.1C and room temperature after 100 charge-discharge cycles. The ETG membrane electrolyte can also endow the Li//ETG//LiFePO 4 pouch cell with flexibility and withstanding abuse operations, like nail penetration and cutting. We expect that the flexible and non-flammable eutectogel membrane will have implications for the use of DES based ionic liquids in the synthesis of advanced solid-state electrolytes for safer lithium batteries .
