Succinonitrile (SN)-based electrolytes have a great potential for the practical application of all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries (ASSLMBs) due to their high room-temperature ionic conductivity, broad electrochemical window, and favorable thermal stability. Nevertheless, the poor mechanical strength and low stability toward Li metal hinder the further application of SN-based electrolytes to ASSLMBs. In this work, the LiNO-assisted SN-based electrolytes are synthesized via an in situ thermal polymerization method. With this method, the mechanical problem is negligible, and the stability of the electrolyte enhances tremendously toward Li metal due to the addition of LiNO. The LiNO-assisted electrolytes exhibit a high ionic conductivity of 1.4 mS cm at 25 °C, a wide electrochemical window (0-4.5 V vs Li/Li), and excellent interfacial compatibility with Li (stable for over 2000 h at a current density of 0.1 mA cm). The LiFePO/Li cells with the LiNO-assisted electrolytes present significantly enhanced rate capability and cycling performance compared to the control group. NCM622/Li batteries also exhibit good cycling and rate performances with a voltage range of 3.0 to 4.4 V. Furthermore, ex situ SEM and XPS are employed. A compact interface is observed on Li anode after cycling, and the polymerization of SN is found to be suppressed. This paper will promote the development of practical application of SN-based ASSLMBs.

The development of high-performance sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is crucial to meeting the growing demand for low-cost, sustainable energy storage alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, achieving stable cycling performance in SIBs is challenging, particularly with tin (Sn) foil anodes, which suffer from issues like sodium trapping and structural degradation due to significant volume changes during sodiation and desodiation. In this study, we investigate the electrochemo-mechanical behavior of Sn foil anodes, focusing on the mechanisms of sodium trapping and structural evolution that impair battery performance.

This work delineates the thermal safety of full-scale sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) by interrogating the material-level electrochemical and thermal responses of micro and nano-structured tin (Sn) based anodes and sodium vanadium phosphate (NVP) cathodes in suitable electrolyte systems. Informed by these material-level signatures, we delineate cell-level thermal safety maps cognizant of underlying electrode-electrolyte interactions in SIBs.

This paper introduced a novel continuous electrochemical synthesis strategy to address the challenges of slow ion/electron transport rates and low electrode reaction efficiency in Sn-based electrode materials. This approach leveraged the induction and confinement of bubble templates to assist atoms deposition, generating micron-sized tin skeletons. Subsequently, these skeletons were transformed into a secondary nanoporous structure through dissolution-deposition etching effects.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of alkaline electrochemical CO reduction reactions (CORR) compared to traditional acidic ones, emphasizing the importance of pH stability.
- It highlights how using an initially acidic electrolyte led to notable performance drops due to pH changes during reactions, revealing that prior claims of "remarkable acidic performance" might be misleading.
- The research also clarifies the relationship between CORR performance and pH levels specifically in Bi- and Sn-based catalysts, providing insights into how pH affects electrocatalyst stability and efficiency.
