Summary: Utilizing Spark Plasma Sintering technique to enhance the Li-ion conductivity of Li1+2xCaxZr2-x(PO4)(3) solid electrolytes resulted in high conductivity rhombohedral phase, especially at x = 0.1-0.3. The overlap of Ca and Zr elemental distributions indicates Ca incorporation into the lattice, with Ca-rich grain boundary phase observed in conventionally sintered samples. The technique is beneficial for achieving well-sintered pellets with high Li-ion conductivity.

Summary: The monoclinic lithium vanadium phosphate (LVP) is a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical specific capacitance, high operating voltage, good ionic conductivity, and thermal stability. Synthesizing the pure LVP phase requires complicated procedures, but can be achieved through heat treatment of glass powder produced using the double crucible method. Carbon coating can improve the electrical conductivity and electrochemical properties of LVP.

Summary: Solid-state electrolytes are key to developing safe and high-energy-density Li batteries. LATP has been hailed as an attractive candidate due to its excellent electrochemical stability, low production costs, and good chemical compatibility. However, its poor thermal stability at high temperatures and interfacial reactions with electrodes limit its practical use. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in LATP for solid-state batteries and discusses potential solutions.

Summary: The study reveals that embedding Na3MnTi(PO4)(3) particles in N-doped carbon matrix material can achieve high performance for symmetric full batteries. N-defects in the carbon matrix have strong adsorption energy towards Na+, while N-vacancy defects have lower diffusion barriers for sodium-ion diffusion, leading to enhanced pseudocapacitance.

Summary: Aqueous alkali metal ion batteries with LiTi2(PO4)(3)@C/CNTs (LTP@C/CNTs) composite anode exhibit improved rate and cycling performance at high current densities compared to LiTi2(PO4)(3)@C (LTP@C). The composite anode also demonstrates a two-step sodium ion insertion/extraction behavior in ASIBs, with the LTP converting into a NTP phase after cycling, showing great potential for next-generation aqueous energy storage systems.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of F doping on the Li ion diffusion channel in LATP electrolyte and successfully prepares F-doped LATP electrolyte. The results show that F doping can reduce the formation energy of Li vacancy and induce synergistic diffusion of high-energy Li ions. The F-doped LATP electrolyte exhibits high ionic conductivity and excellent cyclability.

Summary: A hybrid solid-state electrolyte is prepared by confining a lithium-containing ionic liquid with a mesoporous SiO2 scaffold, and used for a LVP-cathode-based lithium metal battery. The solid-state electrolyte exhibits high ionic conductivity and a wide electrochemical window, and is compatible with the LVP cathode material. It shows better cycling performance and suppresses lithium dendrite growth compared to the conventional liquid-state electrolyte.
