Article Abstract
Polyrotaxane (PR) is a mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) utilized as an electrolyte because of its distinctive property of dynamic molecular mobility. While numerous studies have concentrated on modifying external properties to decrease high crystallinity, few have explored the control of intrinsic properties. This study examines the crystalline properties and molecular mobility of PR-based electrolytes, along with their effects on ionic conductivity, by manipulating intrinsic properties. By systematically varying the inclusion ratio, we demonstrate that lower inclusion ratios lead to reduced crystallinity, enhancing molecular mobility. Consequently, 100PRE exhibits decreased crystallinity due to lower aggregation probabilities of α-cyclodextrins (α-CDs), longer relaxation times (0.215 s), and higher ionic conductivity (3.4 × 10 S cm at 25 °C).

As a new generation of high-energy-density energy storage system, solid-state aluminum-ion batteries have attracted much attention. Nowadays polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolytes have been initially applied to Lithium-ion batteries due to their flexible processing and good interfacial compatibility, their application in aluminum-ion batteries still faces problems. To overcome the limitations in aluminum-ion batteries-specifically, strong Al coordination suppressing ion dissociation, high room-temperature crystallinity, and inadequate mechanical strength-this study develops a blended polymer electrolyte (BPE) of polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and PEO.

The high sensitivity and wide linearity are crucial for flexible tactile sensors in adapting to diverse application scenarios with high accuracy and reliability. However, conventional optimization strategies of constructing microstructures suffer from the mutual restriction between the high sensitivity and wide linearity. Herein, a novel design of localized gradient conductivity (LGC) with partly covered low-conductivity (low-σ) carbon/Polydimethylsiloxane layer on high-conductivity (high-σ) silver nanowires film upon the micro-dome structure is proposed.

Understanding ion transport mechanisms in sodium ion-based polymer electrolytes is critical, considering the emergence of sodium ion electrolyte technologies as sustainable alternatives to lithium-based systems. In this paper, we employ all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the salt concentration () effects on ionic conductivity () mechanisms in sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF) in polyethylene oxide (PEO) electrolytes. Sodium ions exhibit ion solvation shell characteristics comparable to those of lithium-based polymer electrolytes, with similar anion coordination but more populated oxygen coordination in the polymer matrix.

Surfactants adsorb at interfaces and reduce the interfacial tension. In technical applications, they are typically used as complex mixtures rather than monodisperse systems. These mixtures often include ionic and non-ionic surfactants, with the non-ionic components comprising various monodisperse species.

High entropy electrolytes show great potential in the design of next generation batteries. Demonstrating how salt components of high entropy electrolytes influence the charge storage performance of batteries is essential in the tuning and design of such advanced electrolytes. This study investigates the transport and interfacial properties for lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF) in ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate (EC/DMC) solvent with commonly used additives for high entropy electrolytes (LiTFSI, LiDFOB, and LiNO).
