All-solid-state lithium sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) hold significant promise in the application of high energy density batteries, yet they suffer from poor ionic conductivity, low Li transference number and unsatisfactory lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) conversion. In this paper, porous-dual-shell structure and heterojunction CoO@NiCoO is prepared and composited with polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) to address these problems. The superimposed electric field for CoO@NiCoO composed of the heterointerfaces -build-in electric field and the surface oxygen-rich vacancies-build-in electric field facilitates the dissociation of Li salts, thus improving the ionic conductivity. It exhibits high ionic conductivity of 1.04 × 10 S/cm and Li transference number of 0.48 at 60 °C. Besides, the incorporation of CoO@NiCoO heterojunction enables fast LiPSs conversion and improves the electrochemical kinetics. The Li//Li cell can work stably for 1100 h at 0.1 mA/cm. The Li//S cell provides an initial capacity of 1170 mA h/g, a reversible capacity of 620.1mA h/g after 100 cycles and 308.3 mA h/g after 450 cycles at 0.2 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).
