Article Abstract
High-dielectric solvents were explored for enhancing the sulfur utilization in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, but their applications have been impeded by low stability at the lithium metal anode. Now a radical-directed, lithium-compatible, and strongly polysulfide-solvating high-dielectric electrolyte based on tetramethylurea is presented. Over 200 hours of cycling was realized in Li|Li symmetric cells, showing good compatibility of the tetramethylurea-based electrolyte with lithium metal. The high solubility of short-chain polysulfides, as well as the presence of active S radicals, enabled pouch cells to deliver a discharge capacity of 1524 mAh g and an energy density of 324 Wh kg . This finding suggests an alternative recipe to ether-based electrolytes for Li-S batteries.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) materials have been widely investigated as polymer matrix for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) due to their high dielectric constant, electroactive effect (piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectricity), and excellent thermal stability. However, the poor interface compatibility caused by highly reactive residual solvents and unsatisfactory ionic conductivity owing to sluggish Li transport kinetics are principal bottlenecks impeding the further development of PVDF-based electrolytes. Herein, we design a PVDF-based electrolytes with the assistance of hydrophilic-amorphous silica (HA-SiO).

The high electrical contact resistance at the metal-semiconductor interface hinders the practical application of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor electronics in the postsilicon era. Conventional strategies toward Ohmic contact involve optimizing contact electrode materials. In this work, we utilize the band structure tunability of a 2D semiconductor by introducing a high dielectric constant gate dielectric to optimize the Schottky barrier height and width.

Lithium (Li) metal batteries face challenges, such as dendrite growth and electrolyte interface instability. Artificial interface layers alleviate these issues. Here, cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) nanomembranes, with excellent mechanical properties and high specific surface areas, combine with polyvinylidene-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) porous membranes to form an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer.
