Garnet LiLaZrO is one of the most promising solid electrolytes used for solid-state lithium batteries. However, low ionic conductivity impedes its application. Herein, we report Ta-doping garnets with compositions of LiLaZrTaO (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.75) obtained by solid-state reaction and free sintering, which was facilitated by graphene oxide (GO). Furthermore, to optimize LiLaZrTaO, Mg was select as a second dopant. The dual substitution of Ta for Zr and Mg for Li with a composition of LiMgLaZrTaO showed an enhanced total ionic conductivity of 6.1 × 10 S cm at room temperature. Additionally, spark plasma sintering (SPS) was applied to further densify the garnets and enhance their ionic conductivities. Both SPS specimens present higher conductivities than those produced by the conventional free sintering. At room temperature, the highest ionic conductivity of LiMgLaZrTaO sintered at 1000 °C is 8.8 × 10 S cm, and that of LiLaZrTaO sintered at 1050 °C is 1.18 × 10 S cm.

Coacervation based on liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has been widely used for the preparation of artificial protocells and to mimic the dynamic organization of membrane-free organelles. Most complex synthetic coacervates are formed through electrostatic interactions but cannot withstand high ionic strength conditions (>0.1 M).

Article Synopsis
- All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLBs) are poised to enhance the performance and safety of next-generation electronics, especially electric vehicles, by utilizing solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivity.
- Researchers have substituted the B-site of LiLaTiO (LLTO) with Ga to create Ga-doped LLTO solid electrolytes, leading to structural improvements, enhanced ionic conductivity, and better electrochemical stability through a solid-state reaction method.
- The results show that Ga-doped LLTO exhibits a significantly increased ionic conductivity of 4.15 × 10 S cm in LiLaTiGaO (with 3% Ga), making it a promising candidate for future ASSLB applications due to its stable operating voltage range.

Organic materials, with abundant resources, low cost, high flexibility, tunable structures, lightweight nature, and wide operating temperature range, are regarded as promising candidates for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Unfortunately, their poor electronic and ionic conductivity remain significant challenges, hindering the achievement of high power density for sodium storage. Power density, a critical factor in battery performance evaluation, is essential for assessing fast charging capabilities.

Adhesion-switchable ultralow-hysteresis polymer ionogels are highly demanded in soft electronics to avoid debonding damage and signal distortion, yet the design and fabrication of such ionogels are challenging. Herein, we propose a novel method to design switchable adhesive ionogels by using binary ionic solvents with two opposite-affinity ionic components. The obtained ionogels exhibit moisture-induced phase separation, facilitating switchable adhesion with a high detaching efficiency (>99%).

Abiotic stressors, such as salt stress, can reduce crop productivity, and when combined with biotic pressures, such as insect herbivory, can exacerbate yield losses. However, salinity-induced changes to plant quality and defenses can in turn affect insect herbivores feeding on plants. This study investigates how salinity stress in tomato plants (Solanum Lycopersicum cv.
