Abstract Solid‐state batteries (SSBs) are an emerging technology for safe and high‐energy‐density electrochemical energy storage. Unfortunately, SSBs suffer from inadequate ionic conductivity sluggish interfacial transport at subzero temperatures, which limit their widespread application. Herein, a flexible, stable, highly conductive quasi‐solid polymer electrolyte (QSPE) is developed that allows low‐temperature (LT) operation. The in situ polymerized QSPE has integrated battery structure,...
TEGDN-QSSE could form a N-rich SEI on the surface of Li metal anode, protecting it from parasitic reactions and preventing dendrites. A pouch-type Li–S cell with stably cycle 50 times.
Using quasi-solid electrolytes (QSEs) can make lithium metal batteries (LMBs) considerably safer. However, formulating QSEs with rate capabilities rivaling those of liquid is extremely difficult. Herein, we develop a QSE characterized by safety, high conductivity above 2 × 10−3 S cm−1, and lithium-ion transference number (tLi+) 0.8. Computations experiments reveal that these characteristics are achieved adjusting the Li+ solvation through weak interaction polymer skeleton strong coordination...
Abstract The advancement of lithium metal batteries toward their theoretical energy density potential remains constrained by safety and performance issues inherent to liquid electrolytes. Quasi‐solid‐state electrolytes (QSSEs) based on poly‐1,3‐dioxolane (poly‐DOL) represent a promising development, yet challenges in achieving satisfactory Coulombic efficiency long‐term stability have impeded practical implementation. While nitrate addition can enhance efficiency, its incorporation results...
