Summary: High energy density batteries with lithium metal as the anode have great potential for applications in electric vehicles and energy storage stations. However, interface/interphase issues within the electrochemical cell have hindered their high performance. Polymer-based interface/interphase engineering has proven to be an effective solution, involving rational structure design and flexible processing methods. This review summarizes and discusses the interface/interphase issues in different battery components, such as the cathode, separator, and anode, and explores the use of functional polymers to address these issues, including polysulfide diffusion, structural instability, and lithium dendrite growth. The microenvironment of the cathode's active material is also emphasized for a comprehensive understanding of the interface/interphase issues. The review concludes by discussing the remaining challenges and future prospects for next-generation high-energy-density batteries.

Summary: Thermal management technologies are important for maintaining stable working temperature for electronics. Organic solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs) are widely used due to their high energy storage capacity and stable properties. However, achieving good flexibility, high thermal conductivity and complete leakage resistance simultaneously is still a challenge for organic PCMs. This study introduces boron nitride (BN) pre-attached to the surface of paraffin wax microcapsules (MCPW) and compounded with natural rubber (NR) to form flexible composite PCMs with thermally conductive pathways constructed by BN. The obtained flexible composite PCMs exhibit impressive balance in shape stability, energy storage density, mechanical flexibility, and thermal conductivity, showing great potential for thermal management of electronics.

Summary: A polyolefin elastomer vitrimer (POEV) was prepared by constructing a dynamic cross-linked network based on boronic ester bonds. The controllable relaxation of POEV by temperature enables the actuation domain with a reduction in entropy and the skeleton domain with a relatively high entropy, greatly affecting the reversible shape memory effects (RSMEs). By combining the decreasing entropy of POEV chains and topological rearrangement, hybrid aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be constructed in POEV, enhancing its elasticity and acting as a hybrid skeleton for RSMEs.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
