Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) can replace the diaphragm and electrolyte in the traditional battery to solve safety perils such as electrolyte leakage and combustion, while their practical application is greatly hindered by their low ionic conductivity and poor ability to inhibit lithium dendrites. Herein, a laponite (LAP)/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) hybrid material modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based composite polymer electrolytes (CPE) is reported. The in-situ modification of ZIF-8 induced by electrostatic interactions between LAP layers not only improves the dispersion of LAP, but also acts as an external bridge through hydrogen bonding with PVDF to construct a stable conductive network. The extended and compatible polymer-nanofiller hybrid interface enables continuous ion migration paths and effectively reduce the crystallinity of PVDF. Moreover, the Lewis acid site and high porosity of ZIF-8 can not only promote the dissociation of lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulphonyl) imide (LiTFSI), but also limit the movement of TFSI, further improving the ionic conductivity. Benefiting from the synergistic enhancement effect of hybrid interface, the obtained CPE demonstrated an excellent ionic conductivity of 6.77 × 10 S cm at room temperature and a satisfactory ion transference number of 0.60 together with superior electrochemical window of 5.3 V and good mechanical strength. The assembled Li metal battery shows a high capacity retention rate is 95 % after 150 cycles at 1C, indicating a significant inhibitory effect on lithium dendrites.

Intermolecular interaction is a key factor in the fortification of surimi gels by plant protein addition. Here, the effects of different intermolecular interactions, such as ionic, covalent and non-covalent interactions, on gel structure, gelation strength and water-holding properties were investigated, using sturgeon surimi fortified by three walnut isolates, including walnut meal (WM), protein isolate (WPI) and peptide (WP), as representatives. Quantitative creep-recovery analysis and soluble protein assay demonstrated that secondary bonds, mainly hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond, possibly played a dominant role in walnut protein-fortified surimi gels.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based nanomaterials have great potential in the field of electrochemical energy storage due to their abundant pore size, high specific surface area, controllable structure and porosity, and homogeneous metal center. MOFs complexes and derivatives not only inherit the original morphology characteristics of MOFs but also provide excellent electrochemical performance. Batteries operating in aqueous electrolytes are cheaper, safer, and have higher ionic conductivity than those operating in conventional organic electrolytes.

Lithium argyrodites LiPS ( = Cl, Br, I) are a promising class of solid-state electrolytes with the potential to achieve high conductivities (>10 mS·cm) necessary for use in solid-state batteries. Previous research has shown that structural factors, in particular, site disorder between the sulfide and halide anions, can impact the ionic conductivity of lithium argyrodites. One current hypothesis for this correlation between anion site disorder and ionic transport is a connection to the lithium-ion substructure.

Defect chemistry is the classical approach to evaluate point-defect concentrations in solids depending on the chemical activity of the ( - 1) of constituents by evaluating the mass action laws of a number of defect reactions conserving species, lattice sites, and charge. In an alternative approach, formation energies of individual defects can be calculated to determine the dependence on the Fermi level and on the chemical potentials of the reservoirs. This contribution provides the quantitative relationship between the two approaches, offering the opportunity to compare calculated defect formation energies with experimentally determined quantities.

Bioelectrodes function as a critical interface for signal transduction between living organisms and electronics. Conducting polymers (CPs), particularly poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate), are among the most promising materials for bioelectrodes, due to their electrical performance, high compactness, and ease of processing, but often suffer from degradation or de-doping even in some common environments (e.g.
