Ambient-temperature sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries are considered a promising energy storage system due to their high theoretical energy density and low costs. However, great challenges remain in achieving a high rechargeable capacity and long cycle life. Herein we report a stable quasi-solid-state Na-S battery enabled by a poly(S-pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA))-based cathode and a (PETEA-tris[2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl] isocyanurate (THEICTA))-based gel polymer electrolyte. The polymeric sulfur electrode strongly anchors sulfur through chemical binding and inhibits the shuttle effect. Meanwhile, the in situ formed polymer electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and enhanced safety successfully stabilizes the Na anode/electrolyte interface, and simultaneously immobilizes soluble Na polysulfides. The as-developed quasi-solid-state Na-S cells exhibit a high reversible capacity of 877 mA h g at 0.1 C and an extended cycling stability.

The development of quasi-solid-state lithium metal batteries (QSSLMBs) is hindered by inadequate interfacial contact, poor wettability between electrodes and quasi-solid-state electrolytes, and significant volume changes during long-term cycling, leading to safety risks and cataclysmic failures. Here, we report an innovative approach to enhance interfacial properties through the construction of QSSLMBs. A multilayer design integrates a microwave-synthesized LiAlTi(PO) (LATP) ceramic electrolyte, which is surface-coated with a lithiophilic conductive ink comprising VS and disulfonated functionalized graphene nanosheets (VS-DSGNS) using a low-cost nail-polish binder.

Porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) offer significant advantages in electrochromic (EC) applications due to their high surface area and porosity, which facilitate faradaic redox-mediated diffusion-controlled processes. However, COFs remain underexplored as EC materials due to challenges such as limited solubility and poor film-forming ability. In this study, we synthesized a redox-active triphenylamine-containing COF (TPA-TCIF) on ITO glass via a solvothermal method tailored for electrochromism and electrofluorochromism.

High-energy lithium (Li)-based batteries, especially rechargeable Li-CO batteries with CO fixation capability and high energy density, are desirable for electrified transportation and other applications. However, the challenges of poor stability, low energy efficiency, and leakage of liquid electrolytes hinder the development of Li-CO batteries. Herein, a highly conductive and stable metalorganic framework-encapsulated ionic liquid (IL@MOF) electrolyte system is developed for quasi-solid-state Li-CO batteries.

Ionogel polymer electrolyte (IPE), incorporating ionic liquid (IL) within a polymer matrix, presents a promising avenue for safe quasi-solid-state lithium metal batteries. However, sluggish Li kinetics, resulting from the formation of [Li(anion)] clusters and the occupation of Li transport sites by organic cations, limit their practical applications. In this study, we have developed zwitterionic bottlebrush polymers-based IPE with promoted Li conduction by employing poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)-grafted poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene) (PVC-g-PSBMA) bottlebrushes as matrices of IL.

The development of oxygen reduction/evolution reaction (ORR/OER) bifunctional electrocatalysts with excellent electrocatalytic activity and stability is critical for Zinc-air batteries (ZABs), but remains challenging. Herein, NiFe-WNC with abundant multistage pore structure was prepared by chemical bath deposition and pyrolysis. FePc@NiFe-WNC bifunctional electrocatalyst was obtained by coupling dispersed FePc on it at room temperature.
