1,3-dioxolane (DOL) shows low interfacial impedance and high Coulombic efficiency, thus its polymer electrolytes have attracted extensive attention. In order to initiate DOL polymerization, catalyst amount of LiPF 6 is usually used rather than as the main lithium salt . Totally replacement of LiTFSI with low cost of LiPF 6 could bring the heat explosion and high viscosity when mixing DOL with 0.9 M LiPF 6 electrolyte (carbonate ester solvent). Here, based on the Lewis acid-base interaction, a new type of Lewis base, pyridine, is added to control the explosive polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane in LiPF 6 electrolyte. Through tuning the pyridine content, the gelling process and electrochemical properties could be controlled. It is demonstrated that the optimized monomer conversion and electrochemical window are up to 85.2 % and 4.6 V; meanwhile, the optimized conductivity and transfer number are 0.99 × 10 −3 S/cm (25 °C) and 0.68, respectively. The stable interface between PDOL and lithium metal anode could be proved by the stable over-potential (50mv, 700 h) at current density of 0.5 mA cm −2 . After 500 cycles at 2C, the assembled Li/PDOL@py 0.125 /LiFePO 4 battery delivers 115 mAh/g and 90 % capacity retention, with high average Coulombic efficiency of 99.83 %. The present results demonstrate the heat suppression role of pyridine toward mixing DOL with 0.9 M LiPF 6 electrolyte, which solves the heat and viscosity problems for PDOL based gelling polymer electrolytes .

Mg-based alloy anodes suffer from severe corrosion in conventional electrolytes (KOH solution) and this substantially obstructs the cycle life, which is a great challenge for using them in the Ni-MH battery. Herein, a high concentration tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous electrolyte with a special hydrate structure is explored and enables excellent cycle stability and high capacity for Mg-based alloy anodes. In this electrolyte, the Mg 0.4 Ti 0.1 Ni 0.5 alloy anode delivers a maximum discharge capacity of 466 mAh g −1 , and maintains 210 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles owing to the reduced corrosion rate , which are much better than that in 6 M KOH electrolyte, being 425 mAh g −1 and 69 mAh g −1 , respectively. Furthermore, by in-situ forming Cu coating on the Mg 0.4 Ti 0.1 Ni 0.5 electrode surface during charging process with the adding 0.01 M of Cu(OH) 2 in TMAH electrolyte, the corrosion of the electrode is further suppressed and the reversible capacity can reach 313 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles. The high conducting Cu coating can also increase the rate capability of the electrode by promoting the charge transfer. Thus, using TMAH electrolytes provides a new approach to promote the electrochemical performances of Ni-MH batteries with Mg-based alloy anodes.

The poly(ethylene oxide) based composite solid electrolyte(PEO-CSE) is an effective solution for developing high-performance solid-state lithium battery . However, the poly(ethlene oxide)(PEO) based solid-state lithium battery using 4.0 V cathode suffers from severe interfacial instability problems. In this work, we add additive lithium difluorophosphate(LiPO 2 F 2 ) into the PEO-CSE to form a stable and low resistance interphase at the cathode/electrolyte interface during charge/discharge process. The electrochemical stability window of PEO-CSE increases to ∼5.0 V. Besides, the electrochemical performance of PEO based solid-state lithium battery with LiCoO 2 as cathode is excellent. The discharge capacity of LiCoO 2 /Li cell with LiPO 2 F 2 reaches 108.5 mAh g −1 at 1.0C. In contrast, the discharge capacity that without LiPO 2 F 2 is only 60.0 mAh g −1 . Meanwhile, the PEO-CSE with LiPO 2 F 2 cell delivers stable cycle performance at 4.2 V. The capacity retention maintains 88.5% compared with 16.1%(without LiPO 2 F 2 ) after 100 cycles. Furthermore, it's still maintains 83.3% after 150 cycles. In addition, the cathode/electrolyte interface is analyzed by transmission electron microscope(TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). Galvanostatic intermittent titration test(GITT) is used to analyze the dynamic diffusion performance. This strategy provides a simple and effective way to improve the high voltage stability of the cathode/electrolyte interface.

Soy protein isolate (SPI) is one of the most abundant plant proteins in nature. Enormous studies have been carried out on SPI-based materials, however, the application for energy storage devices is still limited due to its fiddly film forming process and lack of electrochemical performance. Herein, we presented a SPI-based polymer electrolyte by grafting modification with the hydrophilic functional monomer acrylamide (AM). The optimized gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) exhibited an excellent ionic conductivity up to 5.10 mS cm −1 , which was greatly higher than gel polymer electrolyte based on original pure SPI (1.84 mS cm −1 ). More significantly, supercapacitors constructed by grafting-modified SPI delivered a specific capacitance of 141.74 F g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 and exhibited high capacitance retention of 95% after 8000 charge−discharge cycles. Beyond that, redox-active polymer electrolyte based on grafting-modified SPI combining with KI enormously improved the energy density of supercapacitor up to 27.52 Wh kg −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 . This work provided a novel and facile strategy to obtain a high-performance SPI-based polymer electrolyte and laid an experimental foundation for the high-value application of SPI in the field of energy storage devices.

The double-electrolyte etching method is a simple and effective way to fabricate ultra-sharp scanning tunnel microscopy (STM) tungsten tips. However, it is still challenging for this method to get ultra-sharp tungsten tips with high yield. In this work, significant enhancing of the yield is presented through optimized etching parameters as follows: temperature of 26 °C, applied voltage 7.5 V, electrolyte concentration 4 mol L −1 and length below the liquid lamellae of 2 mm. Under these conditions, the smallest tip radius is around 8 nm and the yield (radius < 10 nm) is 63.5%. These tips are capable of producing high-quality atomic resolution STM images, as demonstrated by testing on Si (111) and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples at room temperature. Furthermore, in order to find the relationship between the tip features and experimental etching parameters, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is built by machine learning. Garson’s algorithm is used to analyze the relative importance of each experimental parameter on tip features. The tip features can be estimated by this model with a correlation factor R over 0.85 indicating great predictive performance . Importance analysis indicates that the length of the tungsten wire below the liquid lamellae is the most important parameter to obtain high-quality STM tungsten tips in the double-electrolyte etching method. This result provides a clear direction for rapidly selecting optimized tip fabrication parameters in the future.

Lithium metal is a promising anode material for rechargeable batteries with high energy density . However, the uncontrollable dendrite growth severely hinders the commercialization of Li metal anode . Inspired by the “leveling” mechanism in traditional electroplating, we demonstrate that boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) as a liquid electrolyte additive can level out Li protrusions and enable dendrite-free Li metal anodes. 2D BNNSs can automatically and continuously flatten Li deposits and accommodate volume changes during Li plating/stripping. B atoms in BNNS as Lewis acid sites interact with Lewis basic anions in electrolyte, reducing Li + concentration gradient and unifying Li deposition. The collect effects of BNNS additive give rise to dendrite-free Li anodes over 400 h and deep plating/stripping up to 35 mAh cm −2 , as well as potential application in sub-zero temperature batteries (−20 °C). Li–S full cells using BNNS electrolyte also exhibit improved performance. This simple and effective strategy is applicable to develop dendrite-free Li or other metal anodes in high-performance energy storage devices.

Development of Ni-rich and Co-poor cathodes (Ni ≥ 80%, Co ≤ 5%) is indispensable for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to the serious impact of scarce resources and fragile supply chain of cobalt, but they suffer from a more prominent lattice oxygen emission with serious Li/Ni intermixing as well as worsening crystal and interface structure. Herein, CeO2−x-coated LiNi0.9Co0.045Mn0.045Al0.01O2 has been demonstrated to stabilize lattice oxygen by the well-dispersed Al–O bonds and the reversible oxygen-storage protective layer. The in situ DEMS and ex situ spectral analyses verified the negligible O2 and CO2 emission, even charging to 4.4 V, and the formation of stable cathode–electrolyte interfacial membrane. The as-obtained cathode exhibited a reversible specific capacity as high as 223 mA h g−1 at 0.1C and 140 mA h g−1 even at 10C with 96.7% capacity retention at 1C after 100 cycles in a coin-type half-cell. About 90.1% capacity retention could still be obtained at 1C in a pouch-type full-cell after 300 cycles. This work provides a viable cathode for durable LIBs by stabilizing the lattice oxygen of Ni-rich and Co-poor cathodes.

The interplay between solid electrolytes and electrodes is of vital importance to the performance of all-solid-state Li batteries. Recently, halide superionic conductors have emerged as a new family of high-performance solid electrolytes, but their compatibility with Li metal, i.e., the anode with the highest theoretical capacity, has not been systematically studied. Here, we investigate the interaction between Li metal and two representative halide solid electrolytes: Li 3 YCl 6 and Li 3 YBr 6 . Both materials are found to form interphases with Li, similar to most solid electrolytes. However, the interphases observed here contain electronic conducting components, which are detrimental to their compatibility with Li. By elucidating this phenomenon, the present study provides guiding principles for improving the Li compatibility of halide solid electrolytes.

Sulfide glasses with a high lithium-ion conductivity are promising solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. In this study, 95(0.7Li 2 S–0.3P 2 S 5 )–5Li 3 PO 4 glass electrolyte is prepared by mixing 70Li 2 S-30P 2 S 5 (mol%) glass and Li 3 PO 4 crystal using mechanical milling technique. The effects on the structures and electrochemical properties of the obtained ternary sulfide glass were examined. The ternary sulfide glass shows a good electrochemical stability, which may exhibit a wide electrochemical window up to 10 V (vs. Li/Li + ). Furthermore, the 95(0.7Li 2 S-0.3P 2 S 5 )-5Li 3 PO 4 glass electrolyte displays an electrical conductivity of 2.513 × 10 − 3 S cm − 1 at 100 °C. The all-solid-state lithium-ion cell assembled with 95(0.7Li 2 S-0.3P 2 S 5 )-5Li 3 PO 4 glass electrolyte shows a favourable cyclability, which can reveal a discharge capacity of 144 mAh g − 1 at 0.05 °C and a discharge capacity of 63.9 mAh g − 1 at 0.1C after the 50th cycle at 100 °C, respectively.

Interfacial issues have been the main obstacle to the development of solid-state batteries . In this work, we design a solid hybrid polymer electrolyte based on poly-(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and succinonitrile (PSSE) with a liquid state precursor. An intimate interface between PSSE and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 @vertical graphene (LTO@VG) electrode with three-dimensional array structure is cleverly constructed by infiltrating fluid precursor of PSSE into vertical pores of LTO@VG followed by polymerization and solidification of PSSE. The quasi-solid-state LTO@VG//PSSE//Li and LiFePO 4 //PSSE//LTO@VG full cells exhibit superior electrochemical performance since the active materials are closely contacted by the conductive skeleton and ion-conductive electrolyte. The LTO@VG//PSSE//Li cells maintain 85.7% capacity retention after 400 cycles at 2 C and the LFP//PSSE//LTO@VG full cells still reach 99.0% capacity retention after 200 cycles at 0.5 C. This novel strategy for interface engineering paves the way for achieving high-performance solid-state batteries.

Poor room-temperature ionic conductivity and lithium dendrite formation are the main issues of solid electrolytes. In this work, rod-shaped alumina incorporation and graphite coating were simultaneously applied to poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC)-based polymer solid electrolytes (Wang et al., 2018). The obtained alumina modified solid electrolyte membrane (Al-SE) achieves a high ionic conductivity of 3.48 × 10 −4 S/cm at room temperature with a wide electrochemical window of 4.6 V. The assembled NCM622/Al-SE/Li solid-state battery exhibits initial discharge capacities of 198.2 mAh/g and 177.5 mAh/g at the current density of 0.1 C and 0.5 C, with the remaining capacities of 165.8 mAh/g and 161.3 mAh/g after 100 cycles respectively. The rod-shaped structure of Al 2 O 3 provides fast transport channels for lithium ions and its Lewis acidity promotes the dissociation of lithium salts and release of free lithium ions. The lithiophilic Al 2 O 3 and Graphite form intimate contact with metallic Li and create fast Li + conductive layers of Li-Al-O layer and LiC 6 layer, thus facilitating the uniform deposition of Li and inhibiting Li dendrite formation during long-term cycling. This kind of composite Al-SE is expected to provide a promising alternative for practical application in solid electrolytes.

Three types of inorganic electrolytes [Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 (LGPS), 75Li 2 S·24P 2 S 5 ·1P 2 O 5 (LPOS), Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP)] with different particle sizes and electrochemical properties are selected as active fillers incorporated into poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix to fabricate hybrid solid electrolytes. The optimum composition of each filler is found in consideration of ionic conductivity. Their electrochemical characteristics are investigated. The optimal conductivities are 1.60 × 10 −5 , 1.18 × 10 −5 , and 2.12 × 10 −5 S cm −1 at room temperature for PEO-1%LGPS, PEO-1%LPOS, and PEO-20%LAGP, respectively. The electrochemical stability windows of these hybrid solid electrolytes are all above 5 V (vs. Li + /Li). The results show that these fillers have positive effects on the ionic conductivity, lithium ion transference number, and electrochemical stability. The relationship between the type of filler and electrochemical properties has been investigated. All-solid-state cells LiFePO 4 /Li are fabricated and present fascinating electrochemical performance with high capacity retention and good cycling stability. This work provides promising electrolytes prepared by a simple method.
