As a promising solution for solid-state batteries with high energy density and safety, understanding the mechanism of fast ion conduction in polymer-ceramic composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) is still a challenging task. Herein, we understand the enhanced ion conduction in CSEs using a series of ionic spectra. Ionic insight is extended to ion conduction in CSEs, resolving the mechanism of fast ion migration. With the cooperation of enhanced interface and filler ion conduction, the CSE with a conductive filler exhibits ionic conductivity higher than that of CSEs with insulating fillers. Volume and filler strategies of CSE design are proposed based on volcanic maps of conductivity. An equivalent circuit is established to describe the conduction mechanism of CSEs. Specifically, and are in parallel to describe the cooperation of interface and filler conduction. They are in series with , which represents a competition between the fundamental matrix and enhanced interface conduction. The proposed conduction model is verified though the energy storage performance of solid-state batteries; a fast dynamic process promises a better rate performance and cycling stability of solid-state batteries. These results provide deep insights into fast ion conduction in ceramic-polymer CSEs, which are indispensable to develop high-performance solid-state batteries.

Enhancing both ionic conductivity and mechanical robustness remains a major challenge in designing solid-state electrolytes for lithium batteries. This work presents a novel approach in designing mechanically robust and highly conductive solid-state electrolytes, which involves ionic liquid-based cross-linked polymer networks incorporating polymeric ionic liquids (PILs). First, linear PILs with different side groups were synthesized for optimizing the structure.

LiNiMnO (LNMO), with its high operating voltage, is a favorable cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. However, Ni and Mn dissolution and the associated low cycle life limit their widespread adoption. In this work, we investigate titanium doping as a strategy to mitigate Mn and Ni dissolution from LNMO electrodes.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with well-ordered channels are considered ideal solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for lithium ionic conductors and are expected to be utilized in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. However, the outstanding Li conductivity of MOFs, especially the properties at low temperatures, has become a crucial problem to overcome. Herein, a breakthrough is first realized to cope with this challenge a strategy of introducing fluoro-substituted bridging ligands in MOFs.

Poor interfacial contact in a solid-state cathode is a major challenge in the development of high specific energy and long cycle life all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Herein, the influence of catholyte size on the electrochemical performance of ASSBs is inspected, and the size of LiPSCl (LPSCl) catholyte is tuned for optimizing the ionic conduction and active material utilization in cathode. A medium nanosized LPSCl catholyte not only forms fast ionic transport network throughout the cathode but also provides high specific interfacial area to alleviate the electrochemo-mechanical coupling effect and thus benefits comprehensive improvement of electrochemical performance in ASSBs.

Clay minerals show significant potential as fillers in polymer composite solid electrolytes (CSEs), whereas the influence of their microstructures on lithium-ion (Li) transport properties remains insufficiently understood. Herein, we design advanced poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based CSEs incorporating clay minerals with diverse microstructures including 1D halloysite nanotubes, 2D Laponite (Lap) nanosheets, and 3D porous diatomite. These minerals form distinct Li transport pathways at the clay-PEO interfaces due to their varied structural configurations.
