Solid-state electrolytes have been widely investigated for lithium batteries since they provide a high degree of safety. However, their low ionic conductivity and substantial growth of lithium dendrites hamper their commercial applications. Garnet-type LiLaZrTaO (LLZTO) is one of the most promising active fillers to advance the performance of the solid polymer electrolyte. Nevertheless, their performance is still limited due to their large interfacial resistance. Herein, we embedded the amorphous LiO (LO) into LLZTO particles via the quenching process and successfully achieved an interfacial layer of LiO around LLZTO particles (LLZTO@LO). Amorphous LiO acts as a binder and showed an excellent affinity for Li ions which promotes their fast transference. Moreover, the stable and dense interfacial LiO layer enhances interfacial contact and suppresses the lithium dendrite growth during the long operation cycling process. The PEO/10LLZTO@2LO solid composite polymer electrolyte (SCPE) showed the highest ionic conductivity of 3.2 × 10 S cm at 40 °C as compared to pristine LLZTO-based SCPE. Moreover, the Li│(PEO/10LLZTO@2LO) │Li symmetric cell showed a stable and smooth long lifespan up to 1100 h at 40 °C. Furthermore, the LiFePO//Li full battery with PEO/10LLZTO@2LO SCPE demonstrated stable cycling performance for 400 cycles. These results constitute a significant step toward the practical application of solid-state lithium metal batteries (SS-LMBs).

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the histological and ultrastructural features of the elastic cartilage at the tip of the vocal process in the arytenoid cartilage, which is essential for laryngeal biomechanics.

Methods: Five larynges, including the vocal folds and epiglottis, were examined using transmission electron microscopy. The elastic cartilage at the tip of the vocal process was compared to the epiglottic cartilage within the same larynx to elucidate structural differences.

Lithium-oxygen batteries possess an extremely high theoretical energy density, rendering them a prime candidate for next-generation secondary batteries. However, they still face multiple problems such as huge charge polarization and poor life, which lay a significant gap between laboratory research and commercial applications. In this work, we adopt 15-crown-5 ether (C15) as solvent to regulate the generation of discharge products in lithium-oxygen batteries.

Li-air battery (LAB) technology is making continuous progress toward its theoretical capacity, which is comparable to gasoline. However, the sluggish reaction at the cathode is still a challenge. We propose a simple strategy to optimize the surface e occupancy by adjusting the stoichiometric ratios of transition metal-based spinel structures through a controlled hydrothermal synthesis.

The rational design of a stable and catalytic carbon cathode is crucial for the development of rechargeable lithium-oxygen (LiO ) batteries. An edge-site-free and topological-defect-rich graphene-based material is proposed as a pure carbon cathode that drastically improves LiO battery performance, even in the absence of extra catalysts and mediators. The proposed graphene-based material is synthesized using the advanced template technique coupled with high-temperature annealing at 1800 °C.
