Abstract
Li-ion battery is currently considered to be the most proven technology for energy storage systems when it comes to the overall combination of energy, power, cyclability and cost. However, there are continuous expectations for cost reduction in large-scale applications, especially in electric vehicles and grids, alongside growing concerns over safety, availability of natural resources for lithium, and environmental remediation. Therefore, industry and academia have consequently shifted their focus towards 'beyond Li-ion technologies'. In this respect, other non-Li-based alkali-ion/polyvalent-ion batteries, non-Li-based all solid-state batteries, fluoride-ion/ammonium-ion batteries, redox-flow batteries, sand batteries and hydrogen fuel cells etc. are becoming potential cost-effective alternatives. While there has been notable swift advancement across various materials, chemistries, architectures, and applications in this field, a comprehensive overview encompassing high-energy 'beyond Li-ion' technologies, along with considerations of commercial viability, is currently lacking. Therefore, in this review article, a rationalized approach is adopted to identify notable 'post-Li' candidates. Their pros and cons are comprehensively presented by discussing the fundamental principles in terms of material characteristics, relevant chemistries, and architectural developments that make a good high-energy 'beyond Li' storage system. Furthermore, a concise summary outlining the primary challenges of each system is provided, alongside the potential strategies being implemented to mitigate these issues. Additionally, the extent to which these strategies have positively influenced the performance of these 'post-Li' technologies is discussed.

Chemical and Electrochemical Characterization of Hot-Pressed Li 6PS 5Cl Solid State Electrolyte: Operating Pressure-Invariant High Ionic Conductivity. CHEMSUSCHEM 2024:e202400718.

Abstract
Sulfide solid state electrolytes (SSE) are among the most promising materials in the effort to replace liquid electrolytes, largely due to their comparable ionic conductivities. Among the sulfide SSEs, Argyrodites (Li6PS5X, X=Cl, Br, I) further stand out due to their high theoretical ionic conductivity (~1×10-2 S cm-1) and interfacial stability against reactive metal anodes such as lithium. Generally, solid state electrolyte pellets are pressed from powder feedstock at room temperature, however, pellets fabricated by cold pressing consistently result in low bulk density and high porosity, facilitating interfacial degradation reactions and allowing dendrites to propagate through the pores and grain boundaries. Here, we demonstrate the mechanical and electrochemical implications of hot-pressing standalone LPSCl SSE pellets with near-theoretical ionic conductivity, superior cycling performance, and enhanced mechanical stability. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) analysis reveal no chemical changes to the Argyrodite surface after hot pressing up to 250 °C. Moreover, we use electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to understand mechanical stability of Argyrodite SSE pellets as a function of externally applied pressure, demonstrating for the first time pressed standalone Argyrodite pellets with near-theoretical conductivities at external pressures below 14 MPa.

Abstract
Sulfide solid electrolytes (SSEs) are highly wanted for solid-state batteries (SSBs). While their liquid-phase synthesis is advantageous over their solid-phase strategy in scalable production, it confronts other challenges, such as low-purity products, user-unfriendly solvents, energy-inefficient solvent removal, and unsatisfactory performance. This article demonstrates that a suspension-based solvothermal method using single oxygen-free solvents can solve those problems. Experimental observations and theoretical calculations together show that the basic function of suspension-treatment is "interparticle-coupled unification", that is, even individually insoluble solid precursors can mutually adsorb and amalgamate to generate uniform composites in nonpolar solvents. This anti-intuitive concept is established when investigating the origins of impurities in SSEs electrolytes made by the conventional tetrahydrofuran-ethanol method and then searching for new solvents. Its generality is supported by four eligible alkane solvents and four types of SSEs. The electrochemical assessments on the former three SSEs show that they are competitive with their counterparts in the literature. Moreover, the synthesized SSEs presents excellent battery performance, showing great potential for practical applications.

Abstract
Solid-state symmetrical battery represents a promising paradigm for future battery technology. However, its development is hindered by the deficiency of high-performance bipolar electrodes and compatible solid electrolytes. Herein, a quasi-solid-state all-V2O5 battery constructed by a binder-free carbon fabric-V2O5 nanowires@graphene (CVOG) bipolar electrode and a softly cross-linked polyethylene oxide-based solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) is reported. The synergetic effect of nano-structuring of V2O5, hierarchical conductive network, and graphene wrapping endows the CVOG electrode with boosted reaction kinetics and suppressed vanadium dissolution. The cathodic and anodic reactions of CVOG are decoupled by electrochemical analysis, conceiving the feasibility of constructing all-V2O5 full battery. In manifesting the solid-state all-V2O5 battery, the robust and elastic SPE exhibits high ionic conductivity, tight/self-adaptable electrolyte-electrode contact, and a low charge-transfer barrier. The resultant solid-state full battery exhibits a high reversible capacity of 158 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C, good capacity retention of over 61% from 0.1 C to 2 C, and remarkable cycling stability of 77% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1 C, which surpass other solid-state symmetrical batteries. Hence, this work provides a practice of high-performance solid-state batteries with symmetrical configuration and is constructive for next-generation battery technology.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries are commonly acknowledged as the forthcoming evolution in energy storage technologies. Recent development progress for these rechargeable batteries has notably accelerated their trajectory toward achieving commercial feasibility. In particular, all-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) that rely on lithium-sulfur reversible redox processes exhibit immense potential as an energy storage system, surpassing conventional lithium-ion batteries. This can be attributed predominantly to their exceptional energy density, extended operational lifespan, and heightened safety attributes. Despite these advantages, the adoption of ASSLSBs in the commercial sector has been sluggish. To expedite research and development in this particular area, this article provides a thorough review of the current state of ASSLSBs. We delve into an in-depth analysis of the rationale behind transitioning to ASSLSBs, explore the fundamental scientific principles involved, and provide a comprehensive evaluation of the main challenges faced by ASSLSBs. We suggest that future research in this field should prioritize plummeting the presence of inactive substances, adopting electrodes with optimum performance, minimizing interfacial resistance, and designing a scalable fabrication approach to facilitate the commercialization of ASSLSBs.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries offer a compelling opportunity for next-generation energy storage, due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost, and improved safety. However, their widespread adoption is hindered by an inadequate understanding of their discharge products. Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, we reveal that the discharge product of all-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries is not solely composed of Li2S, but rather consists of a mixture of Li2S and Li2S2. Employing this insight, we propose an integrated strategy that: (1) manipulates the lower cutoff potential to promote a Li2S2-dominant discharge product and (2) incorporates a trace amount of solid-state catalyst (LiI) into the S composite electrode. This approach leads to all-solid-state cells with a Li-In alloy negative electrode that deliver a reversible capacity of 979.6 mAh g-1 for 1500 cycles at 2.0 A g-1 at 25 °C. Our findings provide crucial insights into the discharge products of all-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries and may offer a feasible approach to enhance their overall performance.

Abstract
Li-ion transport and phase transition of solid electrolytes are critical and fundamental issues governing the rate and cycling performances of solid-state batteries. In this work, in-operando high-pressure nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for the solid-state battery is developed and applied, in combination with 6 Li-tracer NMR and high-resolution NMR spectroscopy, to investigate the Li10 GeP2 S12 electrolyte under true-to-life operation conditions. The results reveal that the Li10 GeP2 S12 phase may become more disordered and a large amount of conductive metastable β-Li3 PS4 as the glassy matrix in the electrolyte transforms into less conductive phases, mainly γ-Li3 PS4 , when high current densities (e.g., ≥0.5 mA cm-2 ) are applied to the electrolyte. The overall Li-transport also varies and shows a tendency of boundary phases and Li10 GeP2 S12 synergistic dominant conduction at high currents. Accordingly, a mechanism of structural change induced by stress variation due to the drastic morphological change during Li-In alloying at high currents, and the local Li+ diffusion coefficient discrepancy is proposed. These new findings of Li-ion transport and boundary phase transition in Li10 GeP2 S12 solid electrolyte under high-pressure and high current density are first reported and will help provide previously lacking insights into the relationship of structure and performance of Li10 GeP2 S12 .

Abstract
Composite anodes of Li3 PS4 glass+Li-Si alloy (Type 1) and Li3 N+LiF+Li-Si alloy (Type 2) are prepared for all-solid-state batteries with Li3 PS4 (LPS) glass electrolyte and sulfur/LPS glass/carbon composite cathode. Using a three-electrode system, the anode and cathode potentials are separated, and their polarization resistances are individually traced. Even under high-cutoff-voltage conditions (3.7 V), Type 1 and 2 cells are stably cycled without voltage noise for >200 cycles. Although cathode polarization resistance drastically increases after 3.7 V charge owing to LPS oxidation, LPS redox behavior is fairly reversible upon discharge-charge unlike the non-composite alloy anode cell. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis reveals that the enhanced cyclability is attributed to uniform Li-Si alloying throughout the composite anode, providing more pathways for lithium ions even when these ions are over-supplied via LPS oxidation. These results imply that LPS-based cells can be reversibly cycled with LPS redox even under high-cutoff voltages, as long as non-uniform alloying (lithium dendrite growth) is prevented. Type 1 and 2 cells exhibit similar performance and stability although reduction product is formed in Type 1. This work highlights the importance of alloy anode design to prevent chemo-mechanical failure when cycling the cell outside the electrochemical stability window.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSBs) enabled by solid-state electrolytes (SEs) including oxide-based and sulfide-based electrolytes have gained worldwide attention because of their intrinsic safety and higher energy density over conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, despite the high ionic conductivity of advanced SEs, ASSBs still exhibit high overall internal resistance, the most significant contributor of which can be ascribed to the cathode-SE interfaces. This review seeks to clarify the critical issues regarding the cathode-SE interfaces, including fundamental principles and corresponding solutions. First, major issues concerning electro-chemo-mechanical instability between cathodes and SEs and their formation mechanisms are discussed. Then, specific problems in oxides and sulfides and various solutions and strategies toward interfacial modifications are highlighted. Efforts toward the characterization and analysis of cathode-SE interfaces with advanced techniques are also summarized. Finally, perspectives are offered on several problems demanding urgent solutions and the future development of SE applications and ASSBs.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202217581. [PMID: 36747340 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202217581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 01/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) with inorganic solid electrolytes (SEs) have attracted significant interest as next-generation energy storage. Halides such as Li3 YCl6 are promising candidates for SE because they combine high oxidation stability and deformability. However, the ionic conductivities of halide SEs are not as high as those of other SEs, especially sulfides. Here, we discover new lithium-metal-oxy-halide materials, LiMOCl4 (M=Nb, Ta). They exhibit extremely high ionic conductivities of 10.4 mS cm-1 for M=Nb and 12.4 mS cm-1 for M=Ta, respectively, even in cold-pressed powder forms at room temperature, which are comparable to or surpass those of organic liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries. Bulk-type ASSB cells using the oxyhalides as the cathode SE demonstrate an outstanding rate capability with a capacity retention of 80 % at 5 C/0.1 C. We believe that the proposed oxyhalides are promising SE candidates for the practical applications of ASSBs.

Abstract
Solid superionic conductors exhibit good battery safety and stability, promising to replace organic liquid electrolytes. However, a comprehensive understanding of the factors determining high ion mobility remains elusive. Experiments have confirmed that the Na11Sn2PS12 superionic conductor has high room temperature Na+-ion conductivity; excellent phase stability has been demonstrated in a solid-state electrolyte. The PS4 anion rotation exists in Na11M2PS12-type superionic conductors, but this rotation is affected by the isovalent cation substitutions of the M site. In combination with ab initio molecular dynamic simulations and joint time correlation analysis of the AIMD data, we show that the transport of Na+ ions is directly enhanced by the charge fluctuation in their tetrahedral MS4 anions that comprise the framework. The fundamental reason for the charge fluctuation is the material structure forming a micro-parallel capacitor with MS4 anions, which governs the differential capacitance. Our study provides a fundamental and comprehensive understanding of the structure-controlled charge transfer of Na11M2PS12-type material and can guide solid-state battery optimization and design.

Li 3TiCl 6 as ionic conductive and compressible positive electrode active material for all-solid-state lithium-based batteries. Nat Commun 2023; 14:1396.

Abstract
The development of energy-dense all-solid-state Li-based batteries requires positive electrode active materials that are ionic conductive and compressible at room temperature. Indeed, these material properties could contribute to a sensible reduction of the amount of the solid-state electrolyte in the composite electrode, thus, enabling higher mass loading of active materials. Here, we propose the synthesis and use of lithium titanium chloride (Li3TiCl6) as room-temperature ionic conductive (i.e., 1.04 mS cm-1 at 25 °C) and compressible active materials for all-solid-state Li-based batteries. When a composite positive electrode comprising 95 wt.% of Li3TiCl6 is tested in combination with a Li-In alloy negative electrode and Li6PS5Cl/Li2ZrCl6 solid-state electrolytes, an initial discharge capacity of about 90 mAh g-1 and an average cell discharge voltage of about 2.53 V are obtained. Furthermore, a capacity retention of more than 62% is attainable after 2500 cycles at 92.5 mA g-1 and 25 °C with an applied external pressure of 1.5 tons. We also report the assembly and testing of a "single Li3TiCl6" cell where this chloride material is used as the solid electrolyte, negative electrode and positive electrode.

Understanding the failure process of sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium batteries via operando nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Nat Commun 2023; 14:259.

Abstract
The performance of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) is affected by the presence of electrochemically inactive (i.e., electronically and/or ionically disconnected) lithium metal and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which are jointly termed inactive lithium. However, the differentiation and quantification of inactive lithium during cycling are challenging, and their lack limits the fundamental understanding of SSLMBs failure mechanisms. To shed some light on these crucial aspects, here, we propose operando nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy measurements for real-time quantification and evolution-tracking of inactive lithium formed in SSLMBs. In particular, we examine four different sulfide-based solid electrolytes, namely, Li10GeP2S12, Li9.54Si1.74P1.44S11.7Cl0.3, Li6PS5Cl and Li7P3S11. We found that the chemistry of the solid electrolyte influences the activity of lithium. Furthermore, we demonstrate that electronically disconnected lithium metal is mainly found in the interior of solid electrolytes, and ionically disconnected lithium metal is found at the negative electrode surface. Moreover, by monitoring the Li NMR signal during cell calendar ageing, we prove the faster corrosion rate of mossy/dendritic lithium than flat/homogeneous lithium in SSLMBs.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are considered as one of the most promising candidates for the next-generation energy-storage technology, because they simultaneously exhibit high safety, high energy density, and wide operating temperature range. The replacement of liquid electrolytes with solid electrolytes produces numerous solid-solid interfaces within the SSBs. A thorough understanding on the roles of these interfaces is indispensable for the rational performance optimization. In this review, the interface issues in the SSBs, including internal buried interfaces within solid electrolytes and composite electrodes, and planar interfaces between electrodes and solid electrolyte separators or current collectors are discussed. The challenges and future directions on the investigation and optimization of these solid-solid interfaces for the production of the SSBs are also assessed.

Abstract
Replacing liquid electrolytes with solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) is considered as a vital approach to developing sulfur (S)-based cathodes. However, the polysulfides shuttle and the growth of lithium (Li) dendrites are still the major challenges in polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolyte. Here, an all-solid-state Li metal battery with flexible PEO-Li10 Si0.3 PS6.7 Cl1.8 (LSPSCl)-C-lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) composite cathode (FCC) and PEO-LSPSCl-LiTFSI composite electrolyte (S-CPE) is designed. The initial capacity of the Li|S-CPE|FCC battery is 414 mAh g-1 with 97.8% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 . Moreover, the battery displays remarkable capacity retention of 80% after 500 cycles at 0.4 A g-1 . Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM) reveals rich large-sized Li2 CO3 particles at the Li/PEO interface blocking the Li+ transport, but the layer with rich Li2 O nanocrystals, amorphous LiF and Li2 S at the Li/S-CPE interface suppresses the growth of lithium dendrite and stabilizes the interface. In situ optical microscopy demonstrates that the excellent cyclic stability of FCC is ascribed to the reversible shuttle of P-S-P species, resulting from the movement of ether backbone in PEO. This study provides strategies to mitigate the polysulfide shuttle effect and Li dendrite formation in designing high energy density solid-state Li-S-based batteries.

Abstract
The development of solid-state batteries has become one of the most promising directions in rechargeable secondary batteries due to their considerable energy densities and favorable safety. However, solid-state batteries with higher energy density and more durable and stable cycle life should be developed for large-scale energy storage and adaption to the rapidly increasing lithium battery production and sales market. Although inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) and composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are relatively advantageous solid-state electrolytes, they also face severe challenges. This review summarizes the main stability issues related to chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical aspects faced by ISEs and CSEs. The corresponding state-of-the-art improvement strategies have been proposed, including filling of modified particles, electrolyte pore adjustment, electrolyte internal structure arrangement, and interface modification.

Abstract
All-solid-state Li batteries have attracted significant attention because of their high energy density and high level of safety. In a solid-state Li-ion battery, the electrodes contain a solid electrolyte that does not contribute directly to the capacity. Therefore, a battery that does not require a solid electrolyte in its electrode mixture should exhibit a higher energy density. In this study, a MgH2 electrode was used as the negative electrode material without a solid electrolyte in its mixture. The resultant battery demonstrated excellent performance because of the formation of an ionic conduction path based on LiH in the electrode mixture. LiH and Mg clearly formed upon lithiation and returned to MgH2 upon delithiation as revealed by TEM-EELS analysis. This mechanism of in situ electrolyte formation enables the development of a solid-state battery with a high energy density.

Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes that exhibit high ionic conductivities at room temperature are key materials for obtaining the next generation of safer, higher-specific-energy solid-state batteries. However, the number of currently available crystal structures for use as superionic conductors remains limited. Here, we report a lithium superionic conductor, Li2SiS3, with tetragonal crystal symmetry, which possesses a new three-dimensional framework structure consisting of isolated edge-sharing tetrahedral dimers. This species exhibits an anomalously high ionic conductivity of 2.4 mS cm-1 at 298 K, which is 3 orders of magnitude higher than the reported ionic conductivity for its orthorhombic polymorph. The framework of this conductor consists mainly of silicon, which is abundant in natural resources, and its further optimization may lead to the development of new solid-state electrolytes for large-scale applications.

Abstract
The discovery of the lithium superionic conductor Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS) has led to significant research activity on solid electrolytes for high-performance solid-state batteries. Despite LGPS exhibiting a remarkably high room-temperature Li-ion conductivity, comparable to that of the liquid electrolytes used in current Li-ion batteries, nanoscale effects in this material have not been fully explored. Here, we predict that nanosizing of LGPS can be used to further enhance its Li-ion conductivity. By utilizing state-of-the-art nanoscale modeling techniques, our results reveal significant nanosizing effects with the Li-ion conductivity of LGPS increasing with decreasing particle volume. These features are due to a fundamental change from a primarily one-dimensional Li-ion conduction mechanism to a three-dimensional mechanism and major changes in the local structure. For the smallest nanometric particle size, the Li-ion conductivity at room temperature is three times higher than that of the bulk system. These findings reveal that nanosizing LGPS and related solid electrolytes could be an effective design approach to enhance their Li-ion conductivity.

Abstract
The very high ionic conductivity of Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS) solid electrolyte (SE) makes it a promising candidate SE for solid-state batteries in electrical vehicles. However, chemomechanical failure, whose mechanism remains unclear, has plagued its widespread applications. Here, we report in situ imaging lithiation-induced failure of LGPS SE. We revealed a strong size effect in the chemomechanical failure of LGPS particles: namely, when the particle size is greater than 3 μm, fracture/pulverization occurred; when the particle size is between 1 and 3 μm, microcracks emerged; when the particle size is less than 1 μm, no chemomechanical failure was observed. This strong size effect is interpreted by the interplay between elastic energy storage and dissipation. Our finding has important implications for the design of high-performance LGPS SE, for example, by reducing the particle size to less than 1 μm the chemomechanical failure of LGPS SE can be mitigated.

Abstract
Remarkable improvement of the ionic conductivity of inorganic solid electrolytes (SEs) exceeding 10 mS cm-1 at room temperature has opened up the opportunities to realize the commercialization of solid-state batteries (SSBs). The transition to the intrinsically inflammable SEs also promises that SSBs would successfully utilize lithium metal anode thus achieving the high-energy-density lithium metal batteries without the risk of a safety hazard. However, the practical operation of solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) still faces the challenges of the poor cycle stability and the low energy efficiency, which are coupled with the interface stability and even with the dendrite growth of lithium metal. This article overviews current understandings regarding the underlying origins of the issues in employing the lithium metal anode in SSLMBs from the five main standpoints: i) the chemical/electrochemical interfacial stability, ii) the microscopic evolution of interfacial morphology, iii) the intrinsic diffusivity of lithium atom/vacancy at the interface, iv) imperfections (defect/pores), and v) non-negligible electronic conductivity of SEs. The discussions are followed on the state-of-the-art efforts and strategies to overcome these respective challenges. Finally, the authors provide their perspectives for the future research directions toward achieving the commercial level of high-energy SSLMBs.

Abstract
Solid-state batteries have significant advantages over conventional liquid batteries, providing improved safety, design freedom, and potentially reaching higher power and energy densities. The major obstacle in the commercial realization of solid-state batteries is the high resistance at the interfaces. To overcome this bottleneck, it is essential to achieve an in-depth fundamental understanding of the crucial electrochemical processes at the interface. Conventional electrochemical stability calculations for solid electrolytes, determining the formation energy toward the energetically favorable decomposition products, often underestimate the stability window because kinetics are not included. In this work, we introduce a computational scheme that takes the redox-activity of the solid electrolytes into account in calculating the electrochemical stability, and it in many cases appears to dictate the electrochemical stability. This methodology is applied to different chemical and structural classes of solid electrolytes, exhibiting excellent agreement with experimentally observed electrochemical stability. In contrast with current perception, the results suggest that the electrochemical stability of solid electrolytes is not always determined by the decomposition products but often originates from the intrinsic stability of the material itself. The processes occurring outside the stability window can lead toward phase separation or solid solution depending on the reaction mechanism of the material. These newly gained insights provide better predictions of the practical voltage ranges and structural stabilities of solid electrolytes, guiding solid-state batteries toward better interfaces and material design.

Abstract
Argyrodite Li6 PS5 Cl with high Li+ conductivity is a promising material for solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) in all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, the narrow electrochemical window of Li6 PS5 Cl limits its applications in ASSLBs with high energy densities, and those that consist of high-voltage cathode materials and metallic lithium anodes. Unstable lithium deposition and stripping at interfaces is also a factor that restricts its industrialization. Herein, the authors investigated the electrochemical stability of Li6 PS5 Cl using it as both the cathode and electrolyte. The Li6 PS5 Cl-C/Li6 PS5 Cl/Li cell and symmetric Li/Li6 PS5 Cl/Li cells failed after a certain number of cycles, and subsequently healed electrochemically. This failure/healing phenomenon recurred during the cycling process. The self-healing behavior is closely related to the electrochemical window, which suggests that it can be controlled by the charge-discharge voltage range. In-depth X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, in situ Raman spectroscopy, and in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed the reversible Li6 PS5 Cl decomposition and metallic lithium growth inside the electrolyte during the cycling process. This self-healing behavior is mainly attributed to the reciprocating lithium growth and reversible redox reaction of the Li6 PS5 Cl decomposition. The proposed self-healing mechanism is a key aspect for sulfide-based SSEs, guiding the interface modification, and material design of ASSLBs.

Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for clean sustainable energy has driven tremendous worldwide investment in the design and exploration of new active materials for energy conversion and energy-storage devices. Tailoring the surfaces of and interfaces between different materials is one of the surest and best studied paths to enable high-energy-density batteries and high-efficiency solar cells. Metal-halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are one of the most promising photovoltaic materials due to their unprecedented development, with their record power conversion efficiency (PCE) rocketing beyond 25% in less than 10 years. Such progress is achieved largely through the control of crystallinity and surface/interface defects. Rechargeable batteries (RBs) reversibly convert electrical and chemical potential energy through redox reactions at the interfaces between the electrodes and electrolyte. The (electro)chemical and optoelectronic compatibility between active components are essential design considerations to optimize power conversion and energy storage performance. A focused discussion and critical analysis on the formation and functions of the interfaces and interphases of the active materials in these devices is provided, and prospective strategies used to overcome current challenges are described. These strategies revolve around manipulating the chemical compositions, defects, stability, and passivation of the various interfaces of RBs and PSCs.

Abstract
Despite progress in solid-state battery engineering, our understanding of the chemo-mechanical phenomena that govern electrochemical behaviour and stability at solid-solid interfaces remains limited compared to at solid-liquid interfaces. Here, we use operando synchrotron X-ray computed microtomography to investigate the evolution of lithium/solid-state electrolyte interfaces during battery cycling, revealing how the complex interplay among void formation, interphase growth and volumetric changes determines cell behaviour. Void formation during lithium stripping is directly visualized in symmetric cells, and the loss of contact that drives current constriction at the interface between lithium and the solid-state electrolyte (Li10SnP2S12) is quantified and found to be the primary cause of cell failure. The interphase is found to be redox-active upon charge, and global volume changes occur owing to partial molar volume mismatches at either electrode. These results provide insight into how chemo-mechanical phenomena can affect cell performance, thus facilitating the development of solid-state batteries.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) are considered as the next generation electrochemical energy storage devices because of their high safety and energy density, simple packaging, and wide operable temperature range. The critical component in ASSLBs is the solid-state electrolyte. Among all solid-state electrolytes, the sulfide electrolytes have the highest ionic conductivity and favorable interface compatibility with sulfur-based cathodes. The ionic conductivity of sulfide electrolytes is comparable with or even higher than that of the commercial organic liquid electrolytes. However, several critical challenges for sulfide electrolytes still remain to be solved, including their narrow electrochemical stability window, the unstable interface between the electrolyte and the electrodes, as well as lithium dendrite formation in the electrolytes. Herein, the emerging sulfide electrolytes and preparation methods are reviewed. In particular, the required properties of the sulfide electrolytes, such as the electrochemical stabilities of the electrolytes and the compatible electrode/electrolyte interfaces are highlighted. The opportunities for sulfide-based ASSLBs are also discussed.

Abstract
The tremendous improvement in performance and cost of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have made them the technology of choice for electrical energy storage. While established battery chemistries and cell architectures for Li-ion batteries achieve good power and energy density, LIBs are unlikely to meet all the performance, cost, and scaling targets required for energy storage, in particular, in large-scale applications such as electrified transportation and grids. The demand to further reduce cost and/or increase energy density, as well as the growing concern related to natural resource needs for Li-ion have accelerated the investigation of so-called "beyond Li-ion" technologies. In this review, we will discuss the recent achievements, challenges, and opportunities of four important "beyond Li-ion" technologies: Na-ion batteries, K-ion batteries, all-solid-state batteries, and multivalent batteries. The fundamental science behind the challenges, and potential solutions toward the goals of a low-cost and/or high-energy-density future, are discussed in detail for each technology. While it is unlikely that any given new technology will fully replace Li-ion in the near future, "beyond Li-ion" technologies should be thought of as opportunities for energy storage to grow into mid/large-scale applications.

Abstract
Intensive understanding of the surface mechanism of cathode materials, such as structural evolution and chemical and mechanical stability upon charging/discharging, is crucial to design advanced solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) of tomorrow. Here, via in situ atomic force microscopy monitoring, we explore the dynamic evolution process at the surface of LiNi0.5Co0.2Mn0.3O2 cathode particles inside a working SSLB. The dynamic formation process of the cathode interphase layer, with an inorganic-organic hybrid structure, was real-time imaged, as well as the evolution of its mechanical property by in situ scanning of the Derjaguin-Muller-Toporov modulus. Moreover, different components of the cathode interphase layer, such as LiF, Li2CO3, and specific organic species, were identified in detailat different stages of cycling, which can be directly correlated with the impedance buildup of the battery. In addition, the transition metal migration and the formation of new phases can further exacerbate the degradation of the SSLB. A relatively stable cathode interphase is key to improving the performance of SSLBs. Our findings provide deep insights into the dynamic evolution of surface morphology, chemical components and mechanical properties of the cathode interphase layer, which are pivotal for the performance optimization of SSLBs.

Abstract
All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs) are receiving tremendous attention for safety concerns over liquid system. However, current ASSLIBs still suffer from poor cycling and rate performance because of unfavorable interfacial contact between solid electrolyte and electrodes, especially in the alloy-based anode. To wet the solid electrode/electrolyte interface, accommodate volume change, and further boost kinetics, liquid metal Ga is introduced into the representative Sb anode, and its corresponding role is comprehensively revealed by experimental results and theoretical calculations for the first time. In addition to interface contact and strain accommodation, with the aid of in situ generation of liquid metal Ga, the lithiation/de-lithiation activity of Sb is stimulated, showing outstanding rate and cycling performance in half cells. Furthermore, benefited from the in situ chemical reaction, TiS2 powder can be directly used to construct a novel "Li-free" TiS2|LiBH4|GaSb full cell, which exhibits an outstanding capacity retention of 226 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. This work provides guidance for implementing future rational design of alloy anodes within ASSLIBs.

Abstract
The rational design and exploration of safe, robust, and inexpensive energy storage systems with high flexibility are greatly desired for integrated wearable electronic devices. Herein, a flexible all-solid-state battery possessing competitive electrochemical performance and mechanical stability has been realized by easy manufacture processes using carbon nanotube enhanced phosphate electrodes of LiTi2(PO4)3 and Li3V2(PO4)3 and a highly conductive solid polymer electrolyte made of polyphosphazene/PVDF-HFP/LiBOB [PVDF-HFP, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)]. The components were chosen based on their low toxicity, systematic manufacturability, and (electro-)chemical matching in order to ensure ambient atmosphere battery assembly and to reach high flexibility, good safety, effective interfacial contacts, and high chemical and mechanical stability for the battery while in operation. The high energy density of the electrodes was enabled by a novel design of the self-standing anode and cathode in a way that a large amount of active particles are embedded in the carbon nanotube (CNT) bunches and on the surface of CNT fabric, without binder additive, additional carbon, or a large metallic current collector. The electrodes showed outstanding performance individually in half-cells with liquid and polymer electrolyte, respectively. The prepared flexible all-solid-state battery exhibited good rate capability, and more than half of its theoretical capacity can be delivered even at 1C at 30 °C. Moreover, the capacity retentions are higher than 75% after 200 cycles at different current rates, and the battery showed smaller capacity fading after cycling at 50 °C. Furthermore, the promising practical possibilities of the battery concept and fabrication method were demonstrated by a prototype laminated flexible cell.

Abstract
The development of solid electrolytes (SEs) is a promising pathway to improve the energy density and safety of conventional Li-ion batteries. Several lithium chloride SEs, Li3MCl6 (M = Y, Er, In, and Sc), have gained popularity due to their high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical window, and good chemical stability. This study systematically investigated 17 Li3MCl6 SEs to identify novel and promising lithium chloride SEs. Calculation results revealed that 12 Li3MCl6 (M = Bi, Dy, Er, Ho, In, Lu, Sc, Sm, Tb, Tl, Tm, and Y) were stable phase with a wide electrochemical stability window and excellent chemical stability against cathode materials and moisture. Li-ion transport properties were examined using bond valence site energy (BVSE) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) calculation. Li3MCl6 showed the lower migration energy barrier in monoclinic structures, while orthorhombic and trigonal structures exhibited higher energy barriers due to the sluggish diffusion along the two-dimensional path based on the BVSE model. AIMD results confirmed the slower ion migration along the 2D path, exhibiting lower ionic diffusivity and higher activation energy in orthorhombic and trigonal structures. For the further increase of ionic conductivity in monoclinic structures, Li-ion vacancy was formed by the substitution of M3+ with Zr4+. Zr-substituted phase (Li2.5M0.5Zr0.5Cl6, M = In, Sc) exhibited up to a fourfold increase in ionic conductivity. This finding suggested that the optimization of Li vacancy in the Li3MCl6 SEs could lead to superionic Li3MCl6 SEs.

Abstract
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have attracted enormous attention as one of the critical future technologies for safe and high energy batteries. With the emergence of several highly conductive solid electrolytes in recent years, the bottleneck is no longer Li-ion diffusion within the electrolyte. Instead, many ASSBs are limited by their low Coulombic efficiency, poor power performance, and short cycling life due to the high resistance at the interfaces within ASSBs. Because of the diverse chemical/physical/mechanical properties of various solid components in ASSBs as well as the nature of solid-solid contact, many types of interfaces are present in ASSBs. These include loose physical contact, grain boundaries, and chemical and electrochemical reactions to name a few. All of these contribute to increasing resistance at the interface. Here, we present the distinctive features of the typical interfaces and interphases in ASSBs and summarize the recent work on identifying, probing, understanding, and engineering them. We highlight the complicated, but important, characteristics of interphases, namely the composition, distribution, and electronic and ionic properties of the cathode-electrolyte and electrolyte-anode interfaces; understanding these properties is the key to designing a stable interface. In addition, conformal coatings to prevent side reactions and their selection criteria are reviewed. We emphasize the significant role of the mechanical behavior of the interfaces as well as the mechanical properties of all ASSB components, especially when the soft Li metal anode is used under constant stack pressure. Finally, we provide full-scale (energy, spatial, and temporal) characterization methods to explore, diagnose, and understand the dynamic and buried interfaces and interphases. Thorough and in-depth understanding on the complex interfaces and interphases is essential to make a practical high-energy ASSB.

Abstract
A ceramic in polymer hybrid solid electrolyte (HSE) based on a poly vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) polymer comprising Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (NASICON) ceramic particles was prepared by a simple solution casting method followed by activation in a liquid electrolyte. The prepared HSE exhibits good flexibility, high ionic conductivity of 2.25 × 10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature (RT), and good interface stability. The carbon coated sodium vanadium phosphate (Na3V2(PO4)3/C) cathode was synthesized by the sol-gel method and assembled into batteries with different electrolytes. The batteries based on HSE exhibit better electrochemical performance than that of NASICON ceramic solid electrolytes, which delivers a reversible capacity of 98 mAh · g-1 at 0.2 C and exhibits good capacity retention of 85% after 175 cycles at 0.5 C. Not only does the HSE inherit great flexibility, but also exhibits good interfacial contact with electrodes. The schematic diagram of Na-ion conductivity in ceramic, polymer and HSE was illustrated to demonstrate the sodium ion transport mechanism. The HSE with high ionic conductivity and good flexibility for interfacial contact with electrodes shall provide a designing strategy for different solid-state batteries.

Abstract
All-solid-state polymer lithium-ion batteries are ideal choice for the next generation of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries due to their high energy, safety and flexibility. Among all polymer electrolytes, PEO-based polymer electrolytes have attracted extensive attention because they can dissolve various lithium salts. However, the ionic conductivity of pure PEO-based polymer electrolytes is limited due to high crystallinity and poor segment motion. An inorganic filler SiO2 nanospheres and a plasticizer Succinonitrile (SN) are introduced into the PEO matrix to improve the crystallization of PEO, promote the formation of amorphous region, and thus improve the movement of PEO chain segment. Herein, a PEO18-LiTFSI-5 %SiO2-5 %SN composite solid polymer electrolyte (CSPE) was prepared by solution-casting. The high ionic conductivity of the electrolyte was demonstrated at 60 °C up to 3.3×10-4 S cm-1. Meanwhile, the electrochemical performance of LiFePO4/CSPE/Li all-solid-state battery was tested, with discharge capacity of 157.5 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C, and capacity retention rate of 99 % after 100 cycles at 60 °C. This system provides a feasible strategy for the development of efficient all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Selenium with a similar reaction mechanism with sulfur and a much higher electronic conductivity is considered to be a promising cathode for all-solid-state rechargeable batteries. Herein, selenium-infused ordered mesoporous carbon composites (Se/CMK-3) are successfully prepared by a melt-diffusion method from a ball-milled mixture of Se and CMK-3 (Se-CMK-3). Furthermore, their electrochemical performances are evaluated in all-solid-state lithium-selenium batteries at room temperature. Typically, Li/75%Li2S-24%P2S5-1%P2O5/Li10GeP2S12/Se/CMK-3 all-solid-state lithium-selenium batteries exhibit high reversible capacity of 488.7 mAh g-1 at 0.05 C after 100 cycles. Even being cycled at 0.5C, it still maintains a discharge capacity of 268.7 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performances could be attributed to the enhanced electronic/ionic conductivities and structural integrity with the addition of the CMK-3 matrix.

Abstract
The enabling of high energy density of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) requires the development of highly Li+-conductive solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) with good chemical and electrochemical stability. Recently, halide SSEs based on different material design principles have opened new opportunities for ASSLBs. Here, we discovered a series of LixScCl3+x SSEs (x = 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4) based on the cubic close-packed anion sublattice with room-temperature ionic conductivities up to 3 × 10-3 S cm-1. Owing to the low eutectic temperature between LiCl and ScCl3, LixScCl3+x SSEs can be synthesized by a simple co-melting strategy. Preferred orientation is observed for all the samples. The influence of the value of x in LixScCl3+x on the structure and Li+ diffusivity were systematically explored. With increasing x value, higher Li+, lower vacancy concentration, and less blocking effects from Sc ions are achieved, enabling the ability to tune the Li+ migration. The electrochemical performance shows that Li3ScCl6 possesses a wide electrochemical window of 0.9-4.3 V vs Li+/Li, stable electrochemical plating/stripping of Li for over 2500 h, as well as good compatibility with LiCoO2. LiCoO2/Li3ScCl6/In ASSLB exhibits a reversible capacity of 104.5 mAh g-1 with good cycle life retention for 160 cycles. The observed changes in the ionic conductivity and tuning of the site occupations provide an additional approach toward the design of better SSEs.

Abstract
All-solid-state Li-ion batteries promise safer electrochemical energy storage with larger volumetric and gravimetric energy densities. A major concern is the limited electrochemical stability of solid electrolytes and related detrimental electrochemical reactions, especially because of our restricted understanding. Here we demonstrate for the argyrodite-, garnet- and NASICON-type solid electrolytes that the favourable decomposition pathway is indirect rather than direct, via (de)lithiated states of the solid electrolyte, into the thermodynamically stable decomposition products. The consequence is that the electrochemical stability window of the solid electrolyte is notably larger than predicted for direct decomposition, rationalizing the observed stability window. The observed argyrodite metastable (de)lithiated solid electrolyte phases contribute to the (ir)reversible cycling capacity of all-solid-state batteries, in addition to the contribution of the decomposition products, comprehensively explaining solid electrolyte redox activity. The fundamental nature of the proposed mechanism suggests this is a key aspect for solid electrolytes in general, guiding interface and material design for all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
The recent discovery of highly conductive solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) has led to tremendous progress in the development of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Though promising, they still face barriers that limit their practical application, such as poor interfacial stability, scalability challenges and production safety. Additionally, efforts to develop sustainable manufacturing of lithium ion batteries are still lacking, with no prevailing strategy developed yet to handle recyclability of ASSBs. To date, most SSE research has been largely focused on the discovery of novel electrolytes. Recent review articles have extensively examined a broad spectrum of these SSEs using evaluation factors such as conductivity and chemical stability. Recognizing this, in this Review we seek to evaluate SSEs beyond conventional factors and offer a perspective on various bulk, interface and nanoscale phenomena that require urgent attention within the scientific community. We provide a realistic assessment of the current state-of-the-art characterization techniques and evaluate future full cell ASSB prototyping strategies. We hope to offer rational solutions to overcome some major fundamental obstacles faced by the ASSB community, as well as potential strategies toward a sustainable ASSB recycling model.
