Article Synopsis
  • The use of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) offers advantages like high energy density and safety for next-gen energy storage, but challenges remain with solid-to-solid contact at the electrode/electrolyte interface.
  • A dip-coating technique was effectively applied to modify the LiLaZrTaO (LLZT) electrolyte, creating a MgO interlayer that significantly reduced interfacial resistance from 1652 Ω cm to 6 Ω cm.
  • Full cells using LLZT@MgO demonstrated impressive cycling capability for over 4000 hours and high rate performance, showcasing the importance of precise interface control for solid-state battery development.

Polyurethane foams (PUFs) are found everywhere in our daily life, but they suffer from poor fire resistance. In this study, expansible graphite (EG) as flame retardant was incorporated into PUFs to improve material fire resistance. With the presence of EGs in the PU matrix, bubble size in PUF became smaller as confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy.
