Summary: In this study, halogen-rich lithium argyrodites were synthesized and the occupancy of anion sublattice was quantitatively analyzed. It was found that disorder positively affects Li-ion dynamics, leading to improved ionic conductivity. This is the first experimental evidence that configurational entropy of the anion sublattice correlates with ion mobility. Furthermore, the lithium argyrodite material exhibits excellent stability and high performance in solid-state batteries.

Summary: High performance alkali metal anode solid-state batteries require morphologically and chemically stable solid/solid interfaces with fast ion transfer. Void formation at the alkali metal/solid-state electrolyte interface can lead to resistance and dendrite propagation. Improving interfacial adhesion and suppressing void formation are crucial for achieving solid-state batteries that can withstand high current densities without failure.

Summary: Triblock copolymers with an ionophilic polymerized ionic liquid block were investigated as solid polymer electrolytes. The copolymers provided mechanically robust, free-standing membranes with high lithium conductivity and optimized electrolyte composition. These electrolytes showed good performance in Li metal symmetric cycling and were also tested as binders in an LMO cathode formulation. However, the best cell performance was achieved with a different solid-state gel electrolyte.

Summary: Fractional differ-integral operators are used to derive the equation of state for fractal substances. Two equations of state have been obtained, one depending on two parameters characterizing the fractal dimension and thermal energy, and the other involving three parameters. Expressions for the Helmholtz free energy and bulk modulus have also been derived. The proposed model has been validated using experimental data and fractional exponents have been determined for different metals.

Summary: Despite being one of the most mature battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries still face challenges in energy density, current density, safety, environmental compatibility, and cost. All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLB) based on lithium metal anodes have emerged as a promising solution, with 2D materials (2DM) playing a crucial role in improving their performance. Strategies for enhancing ASSLBs using 2DM have been categorized based on their application in the three main components: anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Advanced characterization techniques, such as in situ characterization and synchrotron X-ray techniques, are key for understanding the mechanisms of 2DM in ASSLBs.

Summary: Cost effective heat storage methods can promote the utilization of solar thermal and heat recovery systems for industrial applications, reducing the use of conventional heat sources. Solid state sensible thermal energy storage (TES) systems, especially those using natural stones as heat storage media, have been shown to be a viable option due to their low cost, local availability, and environmental friendliness. This study reviews the state of research on solid state sensible heat storage systems, including the materials used, numerical and experimental evaluations, and environmental impact. Further research is needed to improve thermal performance and durability of solid-state TES systems and characterize thermal properties of natural solid materials for heat storage purposes.
