Summary: In this study, a poly(ether block amide) (PEBA) based polymer electrolyte with lithium bis-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) as the Li salt is developed, which possesses good ion conductivity and suppresses the growth of Li dendrites. The electrolyte provides abundant amide groups to activate TFSI- anions and further enriches lithium fluoride (LiF) content in the SEI layer, resulting in improved cyclability and long-life span of the full-cell battery. Therefore, the PEBA based electrolyte shows great potential for solid-state lithium metal batteries.

Summary: The composite separator PP-CPE is created by coating the PP separator with the composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) made from LLZTO and PVDF-HFP. The PP-CPE separator features rapid Li+ channels at the interfaces of PVDF-HFP, LLZTO, and PVDF-HFP/LLZTO to compensate for the inequalities in Li+ flux movement. The modification strategy improves coulombic efficiency and cycle stability by reducing the growth of lithium dendrites.

Summary: Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) have potential for high safety and energy density, but the growth of lithium dendrite in solid electrolytes limits their practical applications. This study develops a simple heat treatment method to revive and recycle garnet oxide electrolytes with Li dendrite penetration. The recovered garnet electrolyte shows higher relative density, enhanced ionic conductivity, and improved critical current density compared to the pristine one. Thermal healing is attributed to the reaction products between dendritic Li metal and air, contributing to further densification of garnet electrolytes during heat treatment.

Summary: Due to its high ionic conductivity, low cost, and excellent air stability, the NASICON-type Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO)(4) (LAGP) electrolyte is considered a promising candidate for high-performance solid-state batteries. However, the poor interfacial compatibilities between LAGP and lithium metal hinder its commercial application. In this study, a nano multifunctional LiF@Li-zinc (Zn) alloy layer is introduced at the LAGP|Li interface to improve the interfacial stability and homogenize the Li-ion flux. This design leads to stable and tight interface with low resistance, effective inhibition of side reactions, and dendrite-free Li-ion flux.
