Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have emerged as transformative alternatives to traditional liquid electrolytes, addressing critical challenges while enabling safer, wider operational voltage windows and higher density batteries. High ionic conductivity inorganic solid-state electrolytes (HC-ISEs), such as LGPS (LiGePS), exhibit exceptional ionic conductivity but suffer from interfacial instability, grain boundaries resistance, poor compatibility with lithium metal anodes, and environmental sensitivity. Recent studies have revealed that engineered disorder, through cationic site disordering, amorphous phase integration, and glass-ceramic structural irregularities, can optimize ion diffusion pathways, mitigate interfacial resistance, and enhance electrochemical stability. This review systematically analyzes how controlled disorder elevates HC-ISEs' performance, explores strategies to tailor disordered architectures, and underscores their pivotal role in realizing next-generation solid-state batteries with high reliability and energy density.

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.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) exhibit outstanding structural tunability, clearly defined ion pathways, and remarkable thermal/chemical stabilities, rendering them highly promising candidates for applications in solid-state electrolytes. However, it remains a challenge to develop a versatile method to incorporate both ionic groups and electron-withdrawing units into a single framework for effectively improving the lithium-ion conductivity. Herein, a series of novel [3+3] defective COFs is successfully synthesized featuring active amine/aldehyde anchoring sites for subsequent post-modification, and regulates the ion conductivity through elaborately tuning the anionic/cationic groups and weak/strong electron-withdrawing units.

Sulfide solid electrolytes (SEs) exhibit excellent ionic conductivity and good mechanical properties, but their poor air stability and solid-solid contact performance seriously hinder the wide application of sulfide all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Herein, this paper reviews the history and the major breakthroughs in the development of sulfide SEs. The theories of hard-soft-acid-base theory and glass structure theory, as well as several strategies to improve the chemical stability of sulfide SEs, are discussed emphatically.

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are being extensively researched as replacements for liquid electrolytes in future batteries. Despite significant advancements, there are still challenges in using SSEs, particularly in extreme conditions. This study presents a hydrated metal-organic ionic cocrystal (HMIC) solid-state ion conductor with a solvent-assisted ion transport mechanism suitable for extreme operating conditions.

We report the performance of solid-state ceramic supercapacitors (SSCs) based on a novel composite electrolyte comprising aluminum-doped lithium lanthanum titanate perovskite, LiLaTiAlO (Al-doped LLTO), and the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM BF). Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data confirms the preservation of the tetragonal perovskite phase after Al substitution, indicating structural stability of the host lattice. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy further corroborate the successful incorporation of Al without forming secondary phases.
