Polyurethane (PU)-based electrolyte has become one of the most important research directions because of its unique repeating 'soft-hard' segment co-polymer structure. Its 'soft segment' composition includes polyethylene oxide, polysiloxane, polycarbonate, cellulose and polyether. Among them, polyether-based polyurethane electrolytes (PPES) have the advantages of simple synthesis, molecular structure optimization and functional group modification, which can greatly improve the ionic conductivity of the system and form a good ion transport interface. To date, a few separate and detailed reviews of advances in PPES have been reported. In this paper, the research progress of PPES is reviewed from the aspects of structural design strategy, molecular synthesis, conductivity modification methods, specific functions and interfacial ion transport behavior in lithium metal batteries (LMBs). In addition, the synthetic route of PPES and the development prospect of PPES are discussed. We also provide guidance for developing high-performance PPES for next-generation LMBs.

Traditional adhesives often result in irreversible bonds, hindering disassembly and recycling processes. In response to the growing demand for sustainable practices, researchers have explored alternative bonding solutions. Debonding-on-demand adhesives represent a breakthrough, enabling selective weakening or breaking of adhesive bonds when desired and facilitating efficient disassembly, repair, and recycling of bonded materials.

Polyurethanes (PUs) have adjustable mechanical properties, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including in the biomedical field. Historically, these PUs have been synthesized from isocyanates, which are toxic compounds to handle. This has encouraged the search for safer and more environmentally friendly synthetic routes, leading today to the production of nonisocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs).

Leveraging electrochemistry to degrade robust polymeric materials has the potential to impact society's growing issue of plastic waste. Herein, we develop an electrocatalytic oxidative degradation of polyethers and poly(vinyl ethers) via electrochemically mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) followed by oxidative polymer degradation promoted by molecular oxygen. We investigated the selectivity and efficiency of this method, finding our conditions to be highly selective for polymers with hydridic, electron-rich C-H bonds.

A series of non-isocyanate poly(ether urethane) (PEU) were prepared by an environmentally friendly route based on dimethyl carbonate, diols and a polyether. The effect of the chemical structure of polyurethane hard segments on the properties of this kind of PEU was systematically investigated in this work. Polyurethane hard segments with different structures were first prepared from hexamethylene di-carbamate (BHC) and different diols (butanediol, hexanediol, octanediol and decanediol).
