The lithium dendrite problem of Li 7 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) solid electrolyte restricts the practical application and development of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). Herein, a LiPON interlayer with Li + conductive and electron non-conductive dynamic properties is constructed at the Li/LLZTO interface. Results show that the electronic conductivity of solid electrolyte after LiPON modification decreased by nearly three orders of magnitude, indicating that it has good ability to hinder electron conduction . The interlayer enhances the wettability between the Li metal anode and LLZTO, resulting in a decrease of battery resistance from 3400 Ω to 700 Ω. The critical current density of the ASSLBs increase from 0.1 mA cm −2 to 1.2 mA cm −2 at room temperature, and the battery cycle number increase from 31 h to over 1000 h. XPS deep etching results show that the LiPON/LLZTO interface has good electrochemical stability. The Kelvin probe force microscope displays a sharp increase in potential within the LiPON interlayer, indicating its successful hindrance of electron conduction to the solid electrolyte. The effective inhibition of lithium dendrites growth is due to LiPON can promote the Li + transmission from LLZTO solid electrolyte to Li anode, and also hinder the electron conduction to LLZTO to form lithium dendrites.

Double network hydrogels (DN gels) are one of most extensively investigated high strength hydrogels. However, most of DN gels are concern to macromolecules , low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWG)-based supramolecular hydrogels are rarely reported to fabricate recoverable DN gels. Owing to the low mechanical properties, LMWG-based supramolecular hydrogels are hardly fabricated as conductive materials for human motion monitoring. Herein, we report a general strategy to fabricate strong, tough and conductive cholate-based supramolecular gels with double network (DN) structure (i.e. La-cholate/PAAm DN gels), consisting of La-cholate supramolecular gel as first network and covalent polyacrylamide gel (PAAm gel) as second network, in which La-cholate supramolecular gel was self-assembled by La 3+ ions and sodium cholate under sonication via the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonds , hydrophobic interactions and metal-coordination. At optimal condition, La-cholate/PAAm DN gel exhibited high tensile properties (fracture stress of 0.314 MPa, fracture strain of 29.85 mm/mm, elastic modulus of 90 kPa, and work of extension of 5.678 MJ/m 3 ) and high toughness (tearing energy of 1098 J/m 2 ), which are comparable to conventional chemical or hybrid DN gels. Meanwhile, La-cholate/PAAm DN gel also showed rapid self-recovery property (stiffness recovery of 84% and toughness recovery of 46% after resting for 3 min) at room temperature and λ-dependent luminescent property under UV-light. More importantly, cholate-based supramolecular gels with DN structure could be prepared with various metal ions and monomers . Interestingly, our cholate-based DN gels were ionically conductive, which could be used as strain sensor to finely detect the human motions. We hope our design principles, along with the simple method and cholate-based DN gels, can be generally applied to develop a new generation of strong and tough LMWG-based supramolecular hydrogels with various functionalities.

Silver nanowire has potential applications on transparent conducting film and electrode of electrochemical capacitor due to its excellent conductivity. Transparent conducting film (G-film) was prepared by coating silver nanowires on glass substrate using Meyer rod method, which exhibited better performance than carbon nanotube and graphene. The conductivity of G-film can be improved by increasing sintering temperature. Electrode of electrochemical capacitor (I-film) was fabricated through the same method with G-film on indium tin oxide (ITO). CV curves of I-film under different scanning rates had obvious redox peaks, which indicated that I-film exhibited excellent electrochemical pseudocapacitance performance and good reversibility during charge/discharge process. In addition, the specific capacitance of I-film was measured by galvanostatic charge/discharge experiments, indicating that I-film exhibits high special capacitance and excellent electrochemical stability.

A unique ruthenium(II) complex, [Ru(bpy)2(DNS-bpy)](PF6)2 [bpy: 2,2′-bipyridine, DNS-bpy: 4-(2,4-dinitrophenylthio)-2,2′-bipyridine], that can act as a probe for the recognition and luminescence sensing of biothiols has been designed and synthesized. Due to the presence of effective photo-induced electron transfer (PET) from the potent electron donor (Ru-bpy centre) to the strong electron acceptor (2,4-dinitrophenyl moiety), the Ru(II) complex itself is weakly luminescent. Reaction of [Ru(bpy)2(DNS-bpy)](PF6)2 with biothiols leads to the replacement of the 2,4-dinitrophenyl moiety by biothiols, which results in the loss of PET within the complex, to allow recovery of the MLCT-based emission of the Ru(II) complex with an 80-fold increase in luminescence intensity. Taking advantage of the high specificity and sensitivity, and the excellent photophysical properties of Ru(II) complexes, [Ru(bpy)2(DNS-bpy)](PF6)2 was successfully applied to the luminescence imaging of biothiols in living Daphnia magna. The results demonstrated the practical applicability of [Ru(bpy)2(DNS-bpy)](PF6)2 as a luminescent probe for the monitoring of biothiols in living bodies.

Nanostructure of ordered polyaniline-graphene (PANI-rGO PMAS ) hybrid nanomaterials is assembled based on poly(2-methoxyaniline-5-sulfonic acid) (PMAS) functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO PMAS ) nanosheets. The presence of PMAS not only improves dispersibility of reduced graphene oxide nanosheets, but also plays a key role for heterogeneous nucleation of polyaniline (PANI) nanorods . The formation mechanism of ordered PANI-rGO PMAS hybrid nanomaterials was studied in details by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV–vis). The conductivity of PANI-rGO PMAS hybrid with 17 wt% rGO PMAS is as high as 4480 S/m, compared with 2.93 S/m for pure PANI. The cyclic voltammetry tests indicate that, PANI-rGO PMAS containing 2 wt% rGO PMAS possesses fast response to redox reactions and excellent reversible stability. It has a high specific capacitance of 385 F g −1 at the scan rate of 10 mV s −1 with potential ranges from −0.2 to 0.8 V. This ordered polyaniline-graphene hybrid has potential applications for flexible supercapacitors, sensors, batteries, electromagnetic materials and thermoelectric materials, etc.

Conductive hydrogels have attracted considerable attention due to their promising applications in a variety of fields. However, conductive hydrogels prepared by conventional strategies usually suffer from poor mechanical properties and low fatigue resistance. In this study, a synergistic strategy to fabricate macroporous conductive hydrogels (PC-hydrogels) by introducing macroporous structure to the hydrogels is reported. The polypyrrole can distribute uniformly in the hydrogel network, thus endowing the hydrogels with good electrical conductivity and outstanding fatigue resistance. Moreover, the combination of stiff polypyrrole and soft hydrogel network can enhance the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. As a result, the PC-hydrogels show negligible performance degradation after being compressed for more than 1200 cycles. Furthermore, the PC-hydrogels-based sensors can detect a variety of human motions with different intensities and ranges. The outstanding mechanical reliability and electrical conductivity make these PC-hydrogels suitable for application in areas of strain sensors and wearable devices.

NASICON-type structure lithium ion conductors have been considered as promising solid electrolytes due to its very high Li + -ion conductivity and chemical stability. In this paper, NASICON-type structured Li 1.5 Al 0.5 Ge 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 (LAGP) glass–ceramics are prepared from crystallization of glass powders, which are obtained by a simple melt-quench method. NH 4 H 2 PO 4 , H 3 PO 4 , P 2 O 5 and H 3 PO 4 &Al(PO 3 ) 3 are used as phosphorus sources, respectively. The obtained LAGP glass–ceramics are systematically characterized with X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy , differential scanning calorimetry and AC impedance spectroscopy . The different impurities are formed depending on the phosphorus sources, which further influence the microstructure. As a result, the lithium ion conductivity is significantly affected by the phosphorus sources. The highest conductivity of 5.21 × 10 − 4 S·cm − 1 is obtained when H 3 PO 4 is used as the phosphorus source under optimum conditions.

ReNiO3 (Re = Pr, Sm, Eu) solid electrolytes were prepared by the sol–gel method, which were sintered in a pure oxygen atmosphere of 20 MPa at 1000 °C for 24 hours. The DC resistivities of the three materials in air and in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere were tested respectively. The resistivities in the hydrogen-containing atmosphere were about 102, 104, and 105 times higher than those in air and XPS analysis showed that after 10%H2–Ar treatment, the proportion of Ni2+ of PrNiO3, SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 increased successively. The proton transport number of PrNiO3 was lower than 0.5 at 50–500 °C, and SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 were almost pure proton conductors below 200 °C. The conductivities of SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 were 1.08 × 10−4 S cm−1 and 1.83 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 200 °C in 5%H2–Ar. The hydrogen sensing properties of SmNiO3 and EuNiO3 show that the measurement results of the two materials were accurate in the range of 0.5–10% H2.

Nanoscaling and alloying techniques for silicon-based materials are widely recognized as vital technological approaches to effectively address the challenges associated with volume expansion and poor conductivity in silicon anodes. Developing short process, cost-effective preparation methods and shape controllable silicon-based materials is expected to improve their cyclability. Herein, utilizing the superior electrical conductivity of copper metal and its stable alloy interaction with silicon, the present study introduced a simple synthetic process by incorporating nanoscale Cu 2 O into a SiO 2 dioxide matrix under a combination of hydrothermal reaction with Cu(NO 3 ) 2 as the copper source and further sintering treatment. Under the conditions of a Cu:Si molar ratio to 3:8 under 850 °C by 2.6 V of constant electrolsyis for 3 h, straight silicon nanowires with a cross-sectional distribution were obtained. The Cu 3 Si alloy particles were enriched around silicon nanowires. Experimental testing was conducted to evaluate the electrochemical storage capabilities of Cu 3 Si/Si nanowires, resulting in an initial specific capacity of 2630.7 mAh g -1 and an initial coulombic efficiency of 88.94%. After 100 charge-discharge cycles, the discharge specific capacity reached 1675.4 mAh g -1 , with a capacity retention rate of 66.20%. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of constructing a Cu 3 Si conductive network for solving the volume expansion and conductivity problems of Si and the distinctive Cu 3 Si/Si architecture offers an exemplary model for the design of silicon-based composite anodes for advanced lithium-ion batteries.

Non-graphitizable carbon (NGC) has been obtained by carbonizing tubular polypyrrole (T-PPy) synthesized through a self-degraded template method . K-NGC/S composite has been prepared by mixing S with K-NGC via melt-diffusion method where NGC has been activated by potassium hydroxide (denoted as K-NGC) and is used as a conductive additive. The as-prepared K-NGC/S composite shows good specific discharge capacity and rate capability with an initial specific discharge capacity of 1121.9 mAh g − 1 and a specific discharge capacity of 729.7 mAh g − 1 after 50 cycles at a current density of 335 mA g − 1 , which is better than pure S. This improvement in the specific discharge capacity and the rate capability of the cell with K-NGC/S composite as a cathode material is realized by the existence of K-NGC, which can offers a superb conductive environment for S, effectively encapsulate S, restrain the outward diffusion of polysulfides , buffer volume change upon cycling and reduce the dissolution of lithium polysulfides into the electrolyte. The good electrochemical performance of K-NGC/S composite would make it become a promising cathode material for lithium-sulfur batteries.

Solid electrolytes could address the increasingly urgent safety and energy density concerns of lithium-ion batteries. Among several kinds of solid electrolytes, Ta-doped Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (Ta-LLZO) became a research hotspot because of its high Li-ion conductivity and chemical stability against Li-metal and air. However, the preparation of high quality LLZO ceramic electrolyte via conventional air ambient sintering method is still a big challenge due to the serious “Li-loss” and abnormal grain growth phenomenon during the long-time high-temperature sintering process . Herein, a new rapid ultra-high-temperature air ambient sintering method without mother powder (MP) is put forward for the preparation of high quality Ta-LLZO ceramic electrolyte. The rapid sintering strategy can effectively restrain “Li-loss”. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the none-mother-powder method is superior to traditional mother-powder method. Ta-LLZO ceramics sintered without MP via this rapid sintering method own small grain size, tight grain boundary, dense microstructure and high conductivity. Specifically, the Ta-LLZO ceramic sintered at 1360 °C for 10 min without MP exhibits high conductivity (8.5 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 25 °C) and high relative density (97%), which equate those made by hot pressing sintering method. Without MP, the sintering process can avoid a lot of material waste and simplify the operation process. Moreover, the rapid sintering process can sharply shorten sintering time and reduce energy consumption. Therefore, this low-cost high-efficient sintering strategy can be effectively used in the large-scale production of high-quality Ta-LLZO ceramic electrolyte.

In the past two decades, ionic conductive hydrogel has attracted tremendous research interests for their intrinsic characteristics in the field of flexible sensor. However, synchronous achievement of high mechanical strength, satisfied ionic conductivity, and broad adhesion to various substrates is still a challenge. Herein, a novel zwitterionic composite hydrogel that displayed excited strechability (up to 900%), satisfied strength (about 30 kPa), high ionic conductivity (1.2 mS cm −1 ), and adhesion to polar and nonpolar materials is fabricated though the combination of waterborne polyurethanes (PU) and poly(sulfobetaine zwitterion- co -acrylamide) (SAm). Especially, this facile strategy demonstrates that PU has a synergistic effect on enhancing mechanical strength and ionic conductivity for ionic conductive hydrogel. Moreover, the hydrogel-based strain/stress sensor shows high sensitivity, wide sensing range, great stability, and accuracy for human body movements detecting and voice recognition. This novel ionic conductive hydrogel has promoted the development of wearable devices.
