Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, which store energy through reversible redox reactions with multiple electron transfers, are seen as one of the promising energy storage systems of the future due to their outstanding advantages. However, the shuttle effect, volume expansion, low conductivity of sulfur cathodes, and uncontrollable dendrite phenomenon of the lithium anodes have hindered the further application of Li-S batteries. In order to solve the problems and clarify the electrochemical reaction mechanism, various types of materials, such as metal compounds and carbon materials, are used in Li-S batteries. Polymers, as a class of inexpensive, lightweight, and electrochemically stable materials, enable the construction of low-cost, high-specific capacity Li-S batteries. Moreover, polymers can be multifunctionalized by obtaining rich structures through molecular design, allowing them to be applied not only in cathodes, but also in binders and solid-state electrolytes to optimize electrochemical performance from multiple perspectives. The most widely used areas related to polymer applications in Li-S batteries, including cathodes and electrolytes, are selected for a comprehensive overview, and the relevant mechanisms of polymer action in different components are discussed. Finally, the prospects for the practical application of polymers in Li-S batteries are presented in terms of advanced characterization and mechanistic analysis.

Abstract
The energy storage and vehicle industries are heavily investing in advancing all-solid-state batteries to overcome critical limitations in existing liquid electrolyte-based lithium-ion batteries, specifically focusing on mitigating fire hazards and improving energy density. All-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs), featuring earth-abundant sulfur cathodes, high-capacity metallic lithium anodes, and non-flammable solid electrolytes, hold significant promise. Despite these appealing advantages, persistent challenges like sluggish sulfur redox kinetics, lithium metal failure, solid electrolyte degradation, and manufacturing complexities hinder their practical use. To facilitate the transition of these technologies to an industrial scale, bridging the gap between fundamental scientific research and applied R&D activities is crucial. Our review will address the inherent challenges in cell chemistries within ASSLSBs, explore advanced characterization techniques, and delve into innovative cell structure designs. Furthermore, we will provide an overview of the recent trends in R&D and investment activities from both academia and industry. Building on the fundamental understandings and significant progress that has been made thus far, our objective is to motivate the battery community to advance ASSLSBs in a practical direction and propel the industrialized process.

Abstract
Replacing liquid electrolytes and separators in conventional lithium-ion batteries with solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) is an important strategy to ensure both high energy density and high safety. Searching for fast ionic conductors with high electrochemical and chemical stability has been the core of SSE research and applications over the past decades. Based on the atomic-level thickness and infinitely expandable planar structure, numerous two-dimensional materials (2DMs) have been exploited and applied to address the most critical issues of low ionic conductivity of SSEs and lithium dendrite growth in all-solid-state lithium batteries. This review introduces the research process of 2DMs in SSEs, then summarizes the mechanisms and strategies of inert and active 2DMs toward Li+ transport to improve the ionic conductivity and enhance the electrode/SSE interfacial compatibility. More importantly, the main challenges and future directions for the application of 2DMs in SSEs are considered, including the importance of exploring the relationship between the anisotropic structure of 2DMs and Li+ diffusion behavior, the exploitation of more 2DMs, and the significance of in situ characterizations in elucidating the mechanisms of Li+ transport and interfacial reactions. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding to facilitate the application of 2DMs in SSEs.

Abstract
Powdery hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), as an important material for electrochemical energy storage, has been typically synthesized in bulk and one/two-dimensional (1/2D) nanostructured morphologies. However, until now, no method has been developed to synthesize powdery three-dimensional (3D) h-BN. This work introduces a novel NaCl-glucose-assisted strategy to synthesize micron-sized 3D h-BN with a honeycomb-like structure and its proposed formation mechanism. We propose that NaCl acts as the template of 3D structure and promotes the nitridation reaction by adsorbing NH3 . Glucose facilitates the homogeneous coating of boric acid onto the NaCl surface via functionalizing the NaCl surface. During the nitridation reaction, boron oxides (BO4 and BO3 ) form from a dehydration reaction of boric acid, which is then reduced to O2 -B-N and O-B-N2 intermediates before finally being reduced to BN3 by NH3 . When incorporated into polyethylene oxide-based electrolytes for Li metal batteries, 5 wt % of 3D h-BN significantly enhances ionic conductivity and mechanical strength. Consequently, this composite electrolyte demonstrates superior electrochemical stability. It delivers 300 h of stable cycles in the Li//Li cell at 0.1 mA cm-2 and retains 89 % of discharge capacity (138.9 mAh g-1 ) after 100 cycles at 1 C in the LFP//Li full cell.

Abstract
Solid-state Li-ion batteries have emerged as the most promising next-generation energy storage systems, offering theoretical advantages such as superior safety and higher energy density. However, polymer-based solid-state Li-ion batteries face challenges across wide temperature ranges. The primary issue lies in the fact that most polymer electrolytes exhibit relatively low ionic conductivity at or below room temperature. This sensitivity to temperature variations poses challenges in operating solid-state lithium batteries at sub-zero temperatures. Moreover, elevated working temperatures lead to polymer shrinkage and deformation, ultimately resulting in battery failure. To address this challenge of polymer-based solid-state batteries, this review presents an overview of various promising polymer electrolyte systems. The review provides insights into the temperature-dependent physical and electrochemical properties of polymers, aiming to expand the temperature range of operation. The review also further summarizes modification strategies for polymer electrolytes suited to diverse temperatures. The final section summarizes the performance of various polymer-based solid-state batteries at different temperatures. Valuable insights and potential future research directions for designing wide-temperature polymer electrolytes are presented based on the differences in battery performance. This information is intended to inspire practical applications of wide-temperature polymer-based solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Polymer nanocomposites combine the merits of polymer matrices and the unusual effects of nanoscale reinforcements and have been recognized as important members of the material family. Being a fundamental material property, thermal conductivity directly affects the molding and processing of materials as well as the design and performance of devices and systems. Polymer nanocomposites have been used in numerous industrial fields; thus, high demands are placed on the thermal conductivity feature of polymer nanocomposites. In this Perspective, we first provide roadmaps for the development of polymer nanocomposites with isotropic, in-plane, and through-plane high thermal conductivities, demonstrating the great effect of nanoscale reinforcements on thermal conductivity enhancement of polymer nanocomposites. Then the significance of the thermal conductivity of polymer nanocomposites in different application fields, including wearable electronics, thermal interface materials, battery thermal management, dielectric capacitors, electrical equipment, solar thermal energy storage, biomedical applications, carbon dioxide capture, and radiative cooling, are highlighted. In future research, we should continue to focus on methods that can further improve the thermal conductivity of polymer nanocomposites. On the other hand, we should pay more attention to the synergistic improvement of the thermal conductivity and other properties of polymer nanocomposites. Emerging polymer nanocomposites with high thermal conductivity should be based on application-oriented research.

Abstract
Sluggish redox kinetics and shuttle effect of polysulfides hinder the extensive application of the lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). Herein a functional heterostructure of boron nitride (BN) and MXene with an alternately layered structure (BN@MXene) is designed as separator interlayer. High efficiency Li+ transmission, uniform lithium deposition, strong adsorption, and efficient catalytic conversion activities of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) realized by this heterostructure are confirmed by experiments and theoretical calculations. The alternately layered structure provides unblocked ion transmission channels and abundant active sites to accelerate the polysulfides redox kinetics with reduced energy barriers of oxidation and reduction reactions. As a result, the LSBs deliver an initial discharge capacity of up to 1273.9 mAh g-1 at 0.2 °C and a low decay of 0.058% per cycle in long-term cycling up to 700 cycles at 1 °C. This work provides an effective designing strategy to accelerate the polysulfides redox kinetics for advanced Li-S electrochemical system.

Abstract
Solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (SSLSBs) have attracted tremendous research interest due to their large theoretical energy density and high safety, which are highly important indicators for the development of next-generation energy storage devices. Particularly, safety and "shuttle effect" issues originating from volatile and flammable liquid organic electrolytes can be fully mitigated by switching to a solid-state configuration. However, their road to thecommercial application is still plagued with numerous challenges, most notably the intrinsic electrochemical instability of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) materials and their interfacial compatibility with electrodes and electrolytes. In this review, a critical discussion on the key issues and problems of different types of SSEs as well as the corresponding optimization strategies are first highlighted. Then, the state-of-the-art preparation methods and properties of different kinds of SSE materials, and their manufacture, characterization and performance in SSLSBs are summarized in detail. Finally, a scientific outlook for the future development of SSEs and the avenue to commercial application of SSLSBs is also proposed.

Abstract
Composite solid electrolytes are considered to be the crucial components of all-solid-state lithium batteries, which are viewed as the next-generation energy storage devices for high energy density and long working life. Numerous studies have shown that fillers in composite solid electrolytes can effectively improve the ion-transport behavior, the essence of which lies in the optimization of the ion-transport path in the electrolyte. The performance is closely related to the structure of the fillers and the interaction between fillers and other electrolyte components including polymer matrices and lithium salts. In this review, the dimensional design of fillers in advanced composite solid electrolytes involving 0D-2D nanofillers, and 3D continuous frameworks are focused on. The ion-transport mechanism and the interaction between fillers and other electrolyte components are highlighted. In addition, sandwich-structured composite solid electrolytes with fillers are also discussed. Strategies for the design of composite solid electrolytes with high room temperature ionic conductivity are summarized, aiming to assist target-oriented research for high-performance composite solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes suffer from the low ionic conductivity and poor capability of suppressing lithium dendrites, which have greatly hindered the practical application of solid-state lithium-metal batteries. Here, we report a novel laponite sheet (LS) with a large negatively charged surface as an additive in a solid composite electrolyte (poly(ethylene oxide)-LS) to rearrange the lithium-ion environment and enhance the mechanical strength of the electrolytes (PEO-LS). The strong electrostatic regulation of laponite sheets assists the dissociation of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and constructs multiple transport channels for free lithium ions, achieving a high ionic conductivity of 1.1 × 10-3 S cm-1 at 60 °C. Furthermore, LS facilitates the in situ formation of a LiF-rich interface because of the boosting TFSI- anion concentration, which significantly suppresses lithium dendrites and prevents short circuit. As a result, the assembled LiFePO4|PEO-LS|Li battery demonstrates a long cycle life of over 800 cycles and a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.9% at 1C and 60 °C. When paired with a high-voltage NCM811 cathode, the battery also demonstrates excellent cycling stability and rate capability.

Abstract
Though polymer electrolytes have been regarded as promising separators for solid-state lithium metal batteries, their low ionic conductivity, poor thermostability and inflammability limit their practical applications. Herein, a polymer composite electrolyte consisting of metal-organic frameworks modified Ti3C2-MXene nanosheets (ZIF-8@MXene) and polymer mixture (PE-ZIF-8@MXene) was fabricated. The fabricated nonflammable ZIF-8@MXene nanosheets have abundant functional groups and Lewis acid sites as well as high specific surface area. In the composite electrolyte, ZIF-8@MXene nanosheets increased the dissociation of lithium salts and provided channels for transporting ions, accelerating the Li ion transportation. They also enhanced the tensile strength, thermostability and flame resistance of PE-ZIF-8@MXene. Consequently, the fabricated flame-retardant PE-ZIF-8@MXene presented high ionic conductivity (4.4 mS cm-1), impressive Li+ transference number (0.76) and enhanced tensile strength (3.77 MPa). In addition, the assembled Li|PE-ZIF-8@MXene|Li had a long cycle life of 2000 h, and Li|PE-ZIF-8@MXene|LiFePO4 batteries displayed a capacity retention of 89.6% after 500 cycles.

Abstract
Although one of the most mature battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries still have many aspects that have not reached the desired requirements, such as energy density, current density, safety, environmental compatibility, and price. To solve these problems, all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLB) based on lithium metal anodes with high energy density and safety have been proposed and become a research hotpot in recent years. Due to the advanced electrochemical properties of 2D materials (2DM), they have been applied to mitigate some of the current problems of ASSLBs, such as high interface impedance and low electrolyte ionic conductivity. In this work, the background and fabrication method of 2DMs are reviewed initially. The improvement strategies of 2DMs are categorized based on their application in the three main components of ASSLBs: The anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Finally, to elucidate the mechanisms of 2DMs in ASSLBs, the role of in situ characterization, synchrotron X-ray techniques, and other advanced characterization are discussed.

Abstract
Eliminating the uncontrolled growth of Li dendrite inside solid electrolytes is a critical tactic for the performance improvement of all-solid-state Li batteries (ASSLBs). Herein, a strategy to swallow and anchor Li dendrites by filling Si nanoparticles into the solid electrolytes by the lithiation effect with Li dendrites is proposed. It is found that Si nanoparticles can lithiate with the adjacent Li dendrites which have a strong electron transport ability. Such effect can inhibit the formation of Li dendrites at the interface of Li anode, and also swallow the tip Li inside the solid electrolytes, and thus inhibiting its longitudinal growth and avoiding the solid electrolyte puncturing. As a proof of concept, a novel sandwich-structure solid electrolyte of Li6.7 La3 Zr2 Al0.1 O12 (LLZA)-PEO/Si-PEO electrolyte/ (LLZA)-PEO with asymmetrical structure is first constructed and demonstrated stable Li plating/stripping over 1800 h and remarkably improved cycling stability in Li/LiFePO4 cells with a reversible capacity of 111.9 mAh g-1 at 1 C after 150 cycles. The proof of lithiation of Si-PEO electrolyte in the interlayer is also verified. Furthermore, the pouch cell thus prepared exhibits comparable cyclic stability and is allowable for folding and cutting, suggesting its promising application in ASSLBs by this simple and efficient strategy.

Abstract
The fast Li+ transportation of "polymer-in-ceramic" electrolytes is highly dependent on the long-range Li+ migration pathways, which are determined by the structure and chemistry of the electrolytes. Besides, Li dendrite growth may be promoted in the soft polymer region due to the inhomogeneous electric field caused by the commonly low Li+ transference number of the polymer. Herein, a single-ion-conducting polymer electrolyte is infiltrated into intertwined Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) nanofibers to construct free-standing electrolyte membranes. The composite electrolyte possesses a large electrochemical window exceeding 5 V, a high ionic conductivity of 0.31 mS cm-1 at ambient temperature, and an extraordinary Li+ transference number of 0.94. The hybrid electrolyte in the lithium symmetric cell shows stable Li plating/stripping up to 2000 h under 0.1 mA cm-2 without dendrite formation. The Li|hybrid electrolyte|LiFePO4 battery exhibits enhanced rate capability up to 1 C and a stable cycling performance with an initial discharge capacity of 131.8 mA h g-1 and a retention capacity of 122.7 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 0.5 C at ambient temperature. The improved electrochemical performance is attributed to the synergistic effects of the LATP nanofibers and the single-ion-conducting polymer. The fibrous fast ion conductors provide continuous ion transport channels, and the polymer improves the interfacial contact with the electrodes and helps to suppress the Li dendrites.

Abstract
Thermal management in Li-ion batteries is critical for their safety, reliability, and performance. Understanding the thermal conductivity of the battery materials is crucial for controlling the temperature and temperature distribution in batteries. This work provides systemic quantitative measurements of the thermal conductivity of three important classes of solid electrolytes (SEs) over the temperature range 150 < T < 350 K. Studies include the oxides Li1.5 Al0.5 Ge1.5 (PO4 )3 and Li6.4 La3 Zr1.4 Ta0.6 O12 , sulfides Li2 S-P2 S5 , Li6 PS5 Cl, and Na3 PS4 , and halides Li3 InCl6 and Li3 YCl6 . Thermal conductivities of sulfide and halide SEs are in the range 0.45-0.70 W m-1 K-1 ; thermal conductivities of Li6.4 La3 Zr1.4 Ta0.6 O12 and Li1.5 Al0.5 Ge1.5 (PO4 )3 are 1.4 and 2.2 W m-1 K-1 , respectively. For most of the SEs studied in this work, the thermal conductivity increases with increasing temperature, that is, the thermal conductivity has a glass-like temperature dependence. The measured room-temperature thermal conductivities agree well with the calculated minimum thermal conductivities indicating that the phonon mean-free-paths in these SEs are close to an atomic spacing. The low, glass-like thermal conductivity of the SEs investigated is attributed to the combination of their complex crystal structures and the atomic-scale disorder induced by the materials processing methods that are typically needed to produce high ionic conductivities.
