Developing solid-state lithium metal batteries with wide operating temperature range is important in future. Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid-state electrolytes are extensively studied for merits including superior flexibility and low glass transition temperature. However, ideal usage temperatures for conventional PEO-based solid-state electrolytes are between 60 and 65 °C, and unequable temperature degrades their electrochemical performances at low and high temperatures (≤25 °C and ≥80 °C).

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) have gained significant attention in energy storage research due to their high energy density and significantly improved safety. But there are still certain problems with lithium dendrite growth, interface stability, and room-temperature practicality. Nature continually inspires human development and intricate design strategies to achieve optimal structural applications.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study involves creating yttrium trifluoride-doped polyacrylonitrile-based carbon nanofibers (YF-PAN-CNFs) through a specialized spinning process and carbonization, which enhances the performance of lithium metal battery separators.
  • - These carbon nanofibers demonstrate high conductivity and a unique structure, significantly improving lithium ion and electron transport, and ensuring a uniform lithium plating/stripping process, leading to impressive cycling performance.
  • - The YF-PAN-CNFs separator not only prevents lithium dendrite growth but also reduces the "shuttle effect" in lithium-sulfur batteries, suggesting its potential for broad applications in various high-performance rechargeable battery technologies.
