Summary: Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) based on poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVdF) are promising for high-performing lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), but their stability with lithium metal (Li-0) anode is a major drawback. This study investigates the stability of PVdF-based GPEs with Li-0 and their application in LSBs. The introduction of lithium nitrate in the electrolyte significantly improves the capacity retention of the GPEs. The study emphasizes the need for anode protection processes when using PVdF-based GPEs in LSBs.

Summary: In this study, an electrospun gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) membrane, integrated with its Cu foil collector (Cu@GPE), was prepared. The Cu@GPE acts as both electrolyte and artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (ASEI), and the strong electrostatic interaction between the fiber sheet and the Cu foil collector positively affects the fluidity of deposited Li. The Cu@GPE|Li cell showed outstanding performance even at high current density, and when coupled with LiNi0.33Mn0.33Co0.33O2 (NMC), the Cu@GPE|NMC AFLMB exhibited superior performance compared to Cu|cGPE|NMC.

Summary: Creating hydrogel electrolytes with balanced conductivity, mechanical robustness, and flexibility is still a challenge. In this study, anionic lambda-carrageenan gels (LC) and ethylene glycol (EG) were introduced into a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel to obtain an organo-hydrogel with a fixed K+ channel. The resulting hydrogel showed superior anti-freezing ability, thermal stability, and high ionic conductivity. A supercapacitor device fabricated using this hydrogel exhibited high specific capacitance, outstanding energy density, and a wide potential window.

Summary: The study introduced a multifunctional separator with four gradual changes to improve the electrochemical performance of lithium-sulfur batteries. The four gradations in density, composition, electronic conductivity, and ionic conductivity help enhance electrolyte uptake rate, reduce shuttle effect, decrease interfacial resistance, effectively convert polysulfide, and improve lithium ion conductivity. This design concept demonstrated good capacity stability and shows promise for high-performance lithium-sulfur battery design.

Summary: Researchers have developed a novel protective layer to address the instability and poor contact between Li-AL-Ti-P solid-state electrolyte and electrodes. This layer provides a suitable interface, prevents reduction of the electrolyte, and suppresses dendrite growth. The protective layer demonstrates excellent performance in coating/stripping process and the assembled full-cell exhibits good cycling stability.

Summary: In this study, Li+ ion conducting properties in Li1.3Al0.15Y0.15Ti1.7(PO4)(3) (LAYTP) compound added with 10 wt % Li2O and x wt% MgO (where x = 15, 25, 35, 45) binder salts were investigated. The primary Li+ ion conducting phase was found to be LiTi2(PO4)(3) (LTP), belonging to the NASICON group. The role of secondary phase and glassy phase on Li+ conductivity was discussed, with the maximum Li+ ion conductivity observed in the sample with the highest MgO concentration.

Summary: Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystals were grown using a slow evaporation technique, and the influence of shockwaves on grain growth, defects, and electrical properties of ADP crystals was comprehensively studied. The results indicated that shockwave treatment improved dielectric properties and reduced grain resistance, with both pristine and shockwave-treated crystals showing a non-Debye-type relaxation process. The activation energies of the crystals obtained from different formulations were also in good agreement, suggesting a consistent response to the shockwave treatment.
