Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate polymer networks (PEO-based networks), with or without anionic bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI)-grafted groups, are promising electrolytes for Li-metal all solid-state batteries. Nevertheless, there is a need to enhance our current understanding of the physicochemical characteristics of these polymer networks to meet the mechanical and ionic conductivity property requirements for Li battery electrolyte materials. To address this challenge, our goal is to investigate the impact of the cross-linking density of the PEO-based network and the ethylene oxide/lithium ratio on mechanical properties (such as glass transition temperature and storage modulus) and ionic conductivity. We have synthesized a series of cross-linked PEO-based polymers (si-SPE for single ion solid polymer electrolyte) via solvent-free radical copolymerization. These polymers are synthesized by using commercially available lithium 3-[(trifluoromethane)sulfonamidosulfonyl]propyl methacrylate (LiMTFSI), poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether methacrylate (PEGM), and [poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate] (PEGDM). In addition, we have synthesized a series of cross-linked PEO-based polymers (SPE for solid polymer electrolyte) using LiTFSI as the ionic species. Most of the resulting polymer films are amorphous, self-standing, flexible, homogeneous, and thermally stable. Interestingly, our research has revealed a correlation between ionic conductivity and mechanical properties in both the SPE and si-SPE series. Ionic conductivity increases as glass transition temperature, α relaxation temperature, and storage modulus decrease, suggesting that Li+ transport is influenced by polymer chain flexibility and Li+/EO interaction.

Abstract
Soft ionic conductors have emerged as a powerful toolkit to engineer transparent flexible intelligent devices that go beyond their conventional counterparts. Particularly, due to their superior capacities of eliminating the evaporation, freezing and leakage issues of the liquid phase encountered with hydrogels, organohydrogels and ionogels, the emerging solid-state, liquid-free ion-conducting elastomers have been largely recognized as ideal candidates for intelligent flexible devices. However, despite their extensive development, a comprehensive and timely review in this emerging field is lacking, particularly from the perspective of design principles, advanced manufacturing, and distinctive applications. Herein, we present (1) the design principles and intriguing merits of solid-state, liquid-free ion-conducting elastomers; (2) the methods to manufacture solid-state, liquid-free ion-conducting elastomers with preferential architectures and functions using advanced technologies such as 3D printing; (3) how to leverage solid-state, liquid-free ion-conducting elastomers in exploiting advanced applications, especially in the fields of flexible wearable sensors, bioelectronics and energy harvesting; (4) what are the unsolved scientific and technical challenges and future opportunities in this multidisciplinary field. We envision that this review will provide a paradigm shift to trigger insightful thinking and innovation in the development of intelligent flexible devices and beyond.

Abstract
Aqueous Zn metal batteries are considered as competitive candidates for next-generation energy storage systems due to their excellent safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, the inevitable dendrite growth, severe hydrogen evolution, surface passivation, and sluggish reaction kinetics of Zn metal anodes hinder the practical application of Zn metal batteries. Detailed summaries and prospects have been reported focusing on the research progress and challenges of Zn metal anodes, including electrolyte engineering, electrode structure design, and surface modification. However, the essential electrical mechanisms that significantly influence Zn2+ ions migration and deposition behaviors have not been reviewed yet. Herein, in this review, the regulation mechanisms of electrical-related electrostatic repulsive/attractive interactions on Zn2+ ions migration, desolvation, and deposition behaviors are systematically discussed. Meanwhile, electric field regulation strategies to promote the Zn2+ ions diffusion and uniform Zn deposition are comprehensively reviewed, including enhancing and homogenizing electric field intensity inside the batteries and adding external magnetic/pressure/thermal field to couple with the electric field. Finally, future perspectives on the research directions of the electrical-related strategies for building better Zn metal batteries in practical applications are offered.

Abstract
Stretchable power devices and self-powered sensors have become increasingly desired for wearable electronics and artificial intelligence. In this study, an all-solid-state triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is reported, whose one solid-state structure prevents delamination during stretch and release cycles and increasing the patch adhesive force (3.5 N) and strain (586% elongation at break). Through the synergetic virtues of stretchability, ionic conductivity, and excellent adhesion to the tribo-layer, reproducible open-circuit voltage (VOC ) of 84 V, charge (QSC ) of 27.5 nC, and short-circuit current (ISC ) of 3.1 µA after drying at 60°C or 20,000 contact-separation cycles are obtained. Apart from contact-separation, this device shows unprecedented electricity generation through stretch-release of solid materials leading to a linear relationship between VOC and strain. For the first time, this work provides a clear explanation of the working mechanism of contact-free stretching-releasing and investigates the relationships of exerted force, strain, thickness of the device, and electric output. Benefitting from the one solid-state structure, this contact-free device remains stable even after repeated stretch-release cycling, maintaining 100% of its VOC after 2500 stretch-release cycles. These findings provide a strategy toward highly conductive and stretchable electrodes for harvesting mechanical energy and health monitoring.

Abstract
The existing in situ preparation methods of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) often require the use of a solvent, which would lead to a complicated process and potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a solvent-free in situ method to produce SPEs with good processability and excellent compatibility. Herein, a series of polyaspartate polyurea-based SPEs (PAEPU-based SPEs) with abundant (PO)x(EO)y(PO)z segments and cross-linked structures were developed by systematically regulating the molar ratios of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and isophorone diisocyanate trimer (tri-IPDI) in the polymer backbone and LiTFSI concentrations via an in situ polymerization method, which gave rise to good interfacial compatibility. Furthermore, the in situ-prepared PAEPU-SPE@D15 based on the IPDI/tri-IPDI molar ratio of 2:1 and 15 wt % LiTFSI exhibits an improved ionic conductivity of 6.80 × 10-5 S/cm at 30 °C and could reach 10-4 orders of magnitude when the temperature was above 40 °C. The Li|LiFePO4 battery based on PAEPU-SPE@D15 had a wide electrochemical stability window of 5.18 V, demonstrating a superior interface compatibility toward LiFePO4 and the lithium metal anode, exhibited a high discharge capacity of 145.7 mAh g-1 at the 100th cycle and a capacity retention of 96.8%, and retained a coulombic efficiency of above 98.0%. These results showed that the PAEPU-SPE@D15 system displayed a stable cycle performance, excellent rate performance, and high safety compared with PEO systems, indicating that the PAEPU-based SPE system may play a crucial role in the future.

Abstract
In this work, a blend of PEO, polysulfone (PSF), and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSi) was prepared at different PEO-PSf weight ratios (70-30, 80-20, and 90-10) and ethylene oxide to lithium (EO/Li) ratios (16/1, 20/1, 30/1, and 50/1). The samples were characterised using FT-IR, DSC, and XRD. Young's modulus and tensile strength were evaluated at room temperature with micro-tensile testing. The ionic conductivity was measured between 5 °C and 45 °C through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The samples with a ratio of PEO and PSf equal to 70-30 and EO/Li ratio equal to 16/1 have the highest conductivity (1.91 × 10-4 S/cm) at 25 °C, while the PEO-PSf 80-20 EO/Li = 50/1 have the highest averaged Young's modulus of about 1.5 GPa at 25 °C. The configuration with a good balance between electrical and mechanical properties is the PEO-PSf 70-30 EO/Li = 30/1, which has a conductivity of 1.17 × 10-4 S/cm and a Young's modulus of 800 MPa, both measured at 25 °C. It was also found that increasing the EO/Li ratio to 16/1 dramatically affects the mechanical properties of the samples with them showing extreme embrittlement.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) has been widely investigated as a potential separator for solid-state lithium metal batteries. However, its applications were significantly restricted by low ionic conductivity and a narrow electrochemical stability window (<4.0 V vs Li/Li+) at room temperature. Herein, a novel molecular self-assembled ether-based polyrotaxane electrolyte was designed using different functional units and prepared by threading cyclic 18-crown ether-6 (18C6) to linear poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) via intermolecular hydrogen bond and terminating with hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer (HDIt), which was strongly confirmed by local structure-sensitive solid/liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. The designed electrolyte has shown an obviously increased room-temperature ionic conductivity of 3.48 × 10-4 S cm-1 compared to 1.12 × 10-5 S cm-1 without assembling polyrotaxane functional units, contributing to the enhanced cycling stability of batteries with both LiFePO4 and LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 cathode materials. This advanced molecular self-assembled strategy provides a new paradigm in designing solid polymer electrolytes with demanded performance for lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Ionic conductors are promising candidates for fabricating soft electronics, but currently applied ionic hydrogels and organogels suffer from liquid leakage and evaporation issues. Herein, we fabricated a free-liquid ionic conducting elastomer (LFICE) with dry lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonimide) and elastomeric waterborne polyurethane. The resultant versatile LFICE exhibits superior tensile strength (∼4.5 MPa), satisfactory stretchability (>900%), excellent ionic conductivity (8.32 × 10-4 S m-1 at 25 °C), and sensitive strain (3.21) and temperature (2.22% °C-1) response. The LFICE also presents durable environmental stability due to the all-solid-state feature. In the exploration of application prospects, the as-assembled LFICE sensor can precisely and repeatedly detect human motion and temperature changes, demonstrating its potentials in digital medical diagnosis and monitoring; the as-assembled LFICE thermoelectric generator (TEG) shows a high ionic thermovoltage of 4.41 mV K-1, paving a bright path for the advent of self-powered soft electronics. It is believed that this research boosts the facile fabrication of environmental stable stretchable ionic conductors holding great promise in next-generation soft electronics integrated with dual thermo- and strain-response and energy harvesting.

Abstract
The high interface impedance between inorganic material electrodes and solid electrolytes results in a high Li+ diffusion energy barrier, which limits the electrochemical performance of active materials. To solve this issue, an integrated configuration of organic active material electrode-solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) is synthesized via in situ polymerization. In the integrated aminoanthraquinone-solid polymer electrolyte (AQ-SPE), the naphthalene urethane bond acts as a bridge that links the organic material electrode and the SPE and acts as a channel for Li+ transport at the electrode/SPE interface. Compared to the activation energy of the conventional aminoanthraquinone/solid polymer electrolyte (AQ/SPE), the activation energy of the charge transfer process for the integrated AQ-SPE decreases from 71.2 to 42.1 kJ mol-1, and the charge transfer impedance decreases from 1140 to 198 Ω at 50 °C. The first and 625th discharge capacity densities of AQ in the integrated AQ-SPE at 0.1 mA cm-1 and 50 °C are 139.7 and 125.3 mAh g-1, respectively. Moreover, pouch batteries with the integrated AQ-SPE show excellent safety performance. The in situ fabrication of integrated electrode-SPE provides an enlightening and extended method for realizing efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly batteries.

Abstract
Elastomers offer attractive advantages over classical solid-state electrolytes in terms of ensuring stable interfacial contact and maintaining fatigue durability, but the low ionic conductivity obstructs their practical applications in long-life lithium metal batteries. In this work, rubber-derived lithium-conducting elastomer has been developed via sulfur vulcanization of nitrile butadiene rubber with a polymerizable ionic liquid to provide both high resilience and dramatically improved ionic conductivity. Owing to the chemically crosslinked network between rubber chains and ionic liquid fragments generated during vulcanization, the elastic lithium-conductor achieves high resilience of 0.92 MJ m-3 , superior cyclic durability of 1000 cycles at 50% strain, and high room-temperature ionic conductivity of 2.7 × 10-4 S cm-1 . Consequently, the corresponding solid-state lithium/LiFePO4 battery exhibits a high capacity of ≈146 mAh g-1 with a high capacity retention of 94.3% for up to 300 cycles.

Abstract
All solid-state rechargeable lithium metal batteries (SS-LMBs) are gaining more and more importance because of their higher safety and higher energy densities in comparison to their liquid-based counterparts. In spite of this potential, their low discharge capacities and poor rate performances limit them to be used as state-of-the-art SS-LMBs. This arise due to the low intrinsic ionic and electronic transport pathways within the solid components in the cathode during the fast charge/discharge processes. Therefore, it is necessary to have a cathode with good electron conducting channels to increase the active material utilization without blocking the movement of lithium ions. Since SS-LMBs require a different morphology and composition of the cathode, we selected LiFePO4 (LFP) as a prototype and, we have systematically studied the influence of the cathode composition by varying the contents of active material LFP, conductive additives (super C65 conductive carbon black and conductive graphite), ion conducting components (PEO and LiTFSI) in order to elucidate the best ion as well as electron conduction morphology in the cathode. In addition, a comparative study on different cathode slurry preparation methods was made, wherein ball milling was found to reduce the particle size and increase the homogeneity of LFP which further aids fast Li ion transport throughout the electrode. The SEM analysis of the resulting calendered electrode shows the formation of non-porous and crack-free structures with the presence of conductive graphite throughout the electrode. As a result, the optimum LFP cathode composition with solid polymer nanocomposite electrolyte (SPNE) delivered higher initial discharge capacities of 114 mAh g-1 at 0.2C rate at 30 °C and 141 mAh g-1 at 1C rate at 70 °C. When the current rate was increased to 2C, the electrode still delivered high discharge capacity of 82 mAh g-1 even after 500 cycle, which indicates that the optimum cathode formulation is one of the important parameters in building high rate and long cycle performing SS-LMBs.

Abstract
The polyethylene oxide (PEO) solid electrolyte is a promising candidate for all solid state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs), but its low ionic conductivity and poor interfacial compatibility against lithium limit the rate and cycling performance of the cell. Herein, the novel and efficient TiO2@polydopamine (PDA) fillers have been synthesized by coating PDA onto the surface of the TiO2 nanofibers, which are then incorporated into PEO matrices to form the composite electrolyte. The composite electrolyte displays a higher ionic conductivity of 4.36 × 10-4 S cm-1, a wider electrochemical window up to about 5 V and a higher tLi+ of 0.190 at 55 °C compared to the PEO electrolyte. Additionally, the Li/composite electrolyte/Li batteries show a stable Li plating/stripping cycle performance, indicating good interfacial compatibility between the composite electrolyte and lithium. Thus, the LiFePO4/Li ASSLIBs display a fantastic rate performance and cycling stability, and deliver superior discharge specific capacities of 153.83 and 136.45 mA h g-1 at current densities of 0.5C and 2C, achieving good capacity retentions of 93.27% and 91.23% at 0.5C and 1C after 150 cycles, respectively. Therefore, the PEO-TiO2@PDA composite electrolyte is a potential solid electrolyte for ASSLIBs.

Abstract
Electrochemical devices, especially energy storage, have been around for many decades. Liquid electrolytes (LEs), which are known for their volatility and flammability, are mostly used in the fabrication of the devices. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) are also using electrochemical reaction to operate. Following the demand for green and safer energy sources to replace fossil energy, this has raised the research interest in solid-state electrochemical devices. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are among the candidates to replace the LEs. Hence, understanding the mechanism of ions' transport in SPEs is crucial to achieve similar, if not better, performance to that of LEs. In this paper, the development of SPE from basic construction to electrolyte optimization, which includes polymer blending and adding various types of additives, such as plasticizers and fillers, is discussed.

Abstract
New solid polymer electrolytes are of particular interest for next-generation high-energy batteries since they can overcome the limited voltage window of conventional polyether-based electrolytes. Herein, a flame-retardant phosphorus-containing polymer, poly(dimethyl(methacryloyloxy)methyl phosphonate) (PMAPC1) is introduced as a promising polymer matrix. Free-standing membranes are easily obtained by mixing PMAPC1 with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and a small amount of acetonitrile (AN). LiTFSI/AN mixed aggregates are formed that act as plasticizers and enable ionic conductivities up to 1.6 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 100 °C. The high content of LiTFSI used in our electrolytes leads to the formation of a stable LiF solid-electrolyte interphase, which can effectively suppress Li dendrites and the chemical degradation of AN in contact with Li. Accordingly the electrolyte membranes exhibit a wide electrochemical stability window above 4.7 V versus Li+/Li and fire-retardant properties due to the presence of the phosphorus-containing polymer. Atomistic molecular modeling simulations have been performed to determine the structure of the electrolytes on the microscopic scale and to rationalize the trends in ionic conductivity and the transport regime as a function of the electrolyte composition. Finally, our electrolyte membranes enable stable cycling performance for LiFePO4|PMAPC1 + LiTFSI + AN|Li batteries.

Abstract
Hybrid copolymerization of structurally different, reactivity and mechanism distinct monomers (e.g., cyclic and vinyl type monomers) is of great interest and challenge for both academic research and practical application. Herein, ethylene oxide-co-tert-butyl methacrylate-co-poly(ethylene glycol) benzyl methacrylate (EO-co-BMA-co-bPEO), a statistical copolymer was synthesized via hybrid copolymerization of EO and BMA using an uncharged, non-nucleophilic organobase t-BuP4 as the catalyst. Detailed characterizations indicate that hybrid copolymerization of ethylene oxide and vinyl monomer forms a statistical copolymer concurrently with the transesterification of tert-butyl group and oligomer PEO anions. The application of the copolymer as all solid lithium-ion battery polymer electrolyte was investigated by detecting the ionic conductivity (σ) with electrical impedance spectrum measurement.

Abstract
In this work, blends of Poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, and poly(1,6-hexanediol), PHD, were prepared in a wide composition range. They were examined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Polarized Light Optical Microscopy (PLOM) and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS). Based on the results obtained, the blends were partially miscible in the melt and their crystallization was a function of miscibility and composition. Crystallization triggered phase separation. In blends with higher PEO contents both phases were able to crystallize due to the limited miscibility in this composition range. On the other hand, the blends with higher PHD contents display higher miscibility and therefore, only the PHD phase could crystallize in them. A nucleation effect of the PHD phase on the PEO phase was detected, probably caused by a transference of impurities mechanism. Since PEO is widely used as electrolyte in lithium batteries, the PEO/PHD blends were studied with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI), and the effect of Li-salt concentration was studied. We found that the lithium salt preferentially dissolves in the PEO phase without significantly affecting the PHD component. While the Li-salt reduced the spherulite growth rate of the PEO phase within the blends, the overall crystallization rate was enhanced because of the strong nucleating effect of the PHD component. The ionic conductivity was also determined for the blends with Li-salt. At high temperatures (>70 °C), the conductivity is in the order of ~10−3 S cm−1, and as the temperature decreases, the crystallization of PHD was detected. This improved the self-standing character of the blend films at high temperatures as compared to the one of neat PEO.

Abstract
Solid-state polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have great processing flexibility and electrode–electrolyte contact and have been employed as the promising electrolytes for lithium metal batteries. Among them, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based SPEs have attracted widespread attention because of easy synthesis, low mass density, good mechanical stability, low binding energy with lithium salts, and excellent mobility of charge carriers. In order to overcome the low room-temperature ionic conductivity and the poor thermodynamic stability in high-voltage devices (>4.2 V) of the PEO materials, composition modulations by incorporating PEO with inorganic and/or organic components have been designed, which could effectively enable the applications of PEO-based SPEs with widened electro-stable voltage ranges. In this mini review, we describe recent progresses of several kinds of PEO composite structures for SPEs, and we compare the synthesis strategies and properties of these SPEs in lithium batteries. Further developments and improvements of the PEO-based materials for building better rechargeable batteries are also discussed.

Abstract
In this study, novel ionic liquid-incorporated Zn-ion conducting polymer electrolyte membranes containing polymer matrix poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (EMITf), along with zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate Zn(Tf)2, are prepared and investigated. It is ascertained that the optimal membrane ILPE-Zn-4 (the mass ratio of EMITf:Zn(Tf)2:PVDF-HFP is 0.4:0.4:1), with abundant nanopores, exhibits a high amorphousness. At room temperature, the optimized electrolyte membrane offers a good value of ionic conductivity (~1.44 × 10-4 S cm-1), with a wide electrochemical stability window (~4.14 V). Moreover, the electrolyte membrane can sustain a high thermal decomposition temperature (~305 °C), and thus its mechanical performance is sufficient for practical applications. Accordingly, the ionic liquid-incorporated Zn-ion conducting polymer electrolyte could be a potential candidate for Zn-based energy storage applications.

Abstract
High-energy density solid-state lithium metal batteries are expected to become the next generation of energy storage devices. Polymeric ionic liquid-based solid polymer electrolytes (PIL-based SPEs) are an attractive choice among electrolytes, but their ionic conductivities are generally insufficient due to numerous crystallized polymer regions. To achieve higher conductivity, we use facile copolymerization of an ionic liquid (IL) monomer and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate monomer to obtain in situ plasticized polymer chains. The resultant PIL-based SPE exhibits decreased crystallinity, a lower glass-transition temperature, and improved ionic conductivity (1.4 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 30 °C). A solid-state LiFePO4 (LFP)|Li battery based on the SPE displays a high reversible specific capacity of 140 mA h g-1 at 0.2C at 25 °C and excellent cycling stability, accompanying high Coulombic efficiency of approximately 100%. The in situ plasticized PIL-based SPE is significant in developing solid-state Li metal battery systems.

Abstract
Poor interface stability is a crucial problem hindering the electrochemical performance of solid-state lithium batteries. In this work, a novel approach for interface stability was proposed to integrate the cathode/solid electrolyte by forming an electrolyte buffer layer on the rough surface of the cathode and coating a layer of graphite on the side of the electrolyte facing the lithium anode. This hybrid structure significantly improves the integration and the interface stability of the electrode/electrolyte. The interfacial resistance was dramatically reduced, the stability of the plating/stripping of Li metal was enhanced, and the growth of lithium dendrites was also inhibited due to the formation of the LiC6 transition layer. The obtained solid-state lithium battery shows enhanced rate performance at room temperature from 0.5 to 4 C and stable cycling performance at 1 C with a retention capacity of 100 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles. This integrated electrode/electrolyte design approach is expected to be widely used to improve interfacial stability and room-temperature electrochemical performance of solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Most of the current commercialized lithium batteries employ liquid electrolytes, despite their vulnerability to battery fire hazards, because they avoid the formation of dendrites on the anode side, which is commonly encountered in solid-state batteries. In a review two years ago, we focused on the challenges and issues facing lithium metal for solid-state rechargeable batteries, pointed to the progress made in addressing this drawback, and concluded that a situation could be envisioned where solid-state batteries would again win over liquid batteries for different applications in the near future. However, an additional drawback of solid-state batteries is the lower ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. Therefore, extensive research efforts have been invested in the last few years to overcome this problem, the reward of which has been significant progress. It is the purpose of this review to report these recent works and the state of the art on solid electrolytes. In addition to solid electrolytes stricto sensu, there are other electrolytes that are mainly solids, but with some added liquid. In some cases, the amount of liquid added is only on the microliter scale; the addition of liquid is aimed at only improving the contact between a solid-state electrolyte and an electrode, for instance. In some other cases, the amount of liquid is larger, as in the case of gel polymers. It is also an acceptable solution if the amount of liquid is small enough to maintain the safety of the cell; such cases are also considered in this review. Different chemistries are examined, including not only Li-air, Li-O2, and Li-S, but also sodium-ion batteries, which are also subject to intensive research. The challenges toward commercialization are also considered.

Abstract
Replacing liquid electrolytes with solid ones can provide advantages in safety, and all-solid-state batteries with solid electrolytes are proposed to solve the issue of the formation of lithium dendrites. In this study, a crosslinked polymer composite solid electrolyte was presented, which enabled the construction of lithium batteries with outstanding electrochemical behavior over long-term cycling. The crosslinked polymeric host was synthesized through polymerization of the terminal amines of O,O-bis(2-aminopropyl) polypropylene glycol-block-polyethylene glycol-block-polypropylene glycol and terminal epoxy groups of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether at 90 °C and provided an amorphous matrix for Li+ dissolution. This composite solid electrolyte containing Li+ salt and garnet filler exhibited high flexibility, which supported the formation of favorable interfaces with the active materials, and possessed enough mechanical strength to suppress the penetration of lithium dendrites. Ionic conductivities higher than 5.0×10-4 S cm-1 above 45 °C were obtained as well as a wide electrochemical stability window (>4.51 V vs. Li/Li+ ) and a high Li+ diffusion coefficient (≈16.6×10-13 m2 s-1 ). High cycling stability (>500 cycles or 1000 h) was demonstrated.

Abstract
Single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte (SICPE) is a safer alternative to the conventional high-performance liquid electrolyte for Li-ion batteries. The performance of SICPEs-based Li-ion batteries is limited due to the low Li+ conductivities of SICPEs at room temperature. Herein, we demonstrated the synthesis of a novel SICPE, poly(ethylene-co-acrylic lithium (fluoro sulfonyl)imide) (PEALiFSI), with acrylic (fluoro sulfonyl)imide anion (AFSI). The solvent- and plasticizer-free PEALiFSI electrolyte, which was assembled at 90 °C under pressure, exhibited self-healing properties with remarkably high Li+ conductivity (5.84 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C). This is mainly due to the self-healing behavior of this electrolyte, which induced to increase the proportion of the amorphous phase. Additionally, the weak interaction of Li+ with the resonance-stabilized AFSI anion is also responsible for high Li+ conductivity. This self-healed SICPE showed high Li+ transference number (ca. 0.91), flame and heat retardancy, and good thermal stability, which concurrently delivered ca. 88.25% (150 mAh g-1 at 0.1C) of the theoretical capacitance of LiFePO4 cathode material at 25 °C with the full-cell configuration of LiFePO4/PEALiFSI/graphite. Furthermore, the self-healed PEALiFSI-based all-solid-state Li battery showed high electrochemical cycling stability with the capacity retention of 95% after 500 charge-discharge cycles.

Abstract
All solid-state lithium (Li) metal batteries (SSLMBs) are attractive for prospective electrochemical energy storage systems on account of their high energy densities and good safeties. However, the incompatible interface between the solid-state electrolyte and Li metal anode limits the ability of SSLMBs. Here, a three-dimensional (3D) electronic and ionic mixed conducting interlayer is proposed to improve the interfacial affinity in SSLMBs. The 3D electronic and ionic mixed conducting interlayer is composed of a Sn/Ni alloy layer-coated Cu nanowire (Cu@SnNi) network. The Li plating demonstrates that the Cu@SnNi network can possess fast Li+ ion transport channels from the Li metal to LiFePO4, acting as a stable interlayer between the Li metal and solid polymer electrolyte. Noticeably, the solid-state LiFePO4/Li cell with a Cu@SnNi interlayer exhibits an excellent rate capability (133 mA h g-1, 2 C; 100 mA h g-1, 5 C) in comparison to the low rate performance of the cell without the interlayer (117 mA h g-1, 2 C; 60 mA h g-1, 5 C). This unique structure design of electronic and ionic mixed conducting interlayer provides an alternative strategy to improve the performance of SSLMBs.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is the most widely used polymer in the field of solid polymer electrolytes for batteries. It is well known that the crystallinity of polymer electrolytes strongly affects the ionic conductivity and its electrochemical performance. Nowadays, alternatives to PEO are actively researched in the battery community, showing higher ionic conductivity, electrochemical window, or working temperature range. In this work, we investigated polymer electrolytes based on aliphatic polyethers with a number of methylene units ranging from 2 to 12. Thus, the effect of the lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfone) imide (LiTFSI) concentration on the crystallization behavior of the new aliphatic polyethers and their ionic conductivity was investigated. In all the cases, the degree of crystallinity and the overall crystallization rate of the polymers decreased drastically with 30 wt % LiTFSI addition. The salt acted as a low molecular diluent to the polyethers according to the expectation of the Flory–Huggins theory for polymer–diluent mixtures. By fitting our results to this theory, the value of the interaction energy density (B) between the polyether and the LiTFSI was calculated, and we show that the value of B must be small to obtain high ionic conductivity electrolytes.

Abstract
In this work, a side-by-side bicomponent thermoplastic polyurethane/polyimide (TPU/PI) polymer electrolyte prepared with side-by-side electrospinning method is reported for the first time. Symmetrical TPU and PI co-occur on one fiber, and are connected by an interface transition layer formed by the interdiffusion of two solutions. This structure of the as-prepared TPU/PI polymer electrolyte can integrate the advantages of high thermal stable PI and good mechanical strength TPU, and mechanical strength is further increased by those isotropic interface transition layers. Moreover, benefiting from micro-nano pores and the high porosity of the structure, TPU/PI polymer electrolyte presents high electrolyte uptake (665%) and excellent ionic conductivity (5.06 mS·cm-1) at room temperature. Compared with PE separator, TPU/PI polymer electrolyte exhibited better electrochemical stability, and using it as the electrolyte and separator, the assembled Li/LiMn₂O₄ cell exhibits low inner resistance, stable cyclic and notably high rate performance. Our study indicates that the TPU/PI membrane is a promising polymer electrolyte for high safety lithium-ion batteries.
