Combined solid electrolytes address cathode-anode compatibility in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSLBs), yet interface stability and ion transport mechanisms between different electrolytes remain unclear. Herein, we investigate LiPSCl (LPSC), LiInCl (LIC), and LiZrOCl (LZOC) composite electrolytes through electrochemical analysis and operando X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Our results reveal that the electrostatic potential difference between LPSC and LIC inhibits Li migration, leading to the decomposition of LIC into InCl and LiCl, causing battery failure. In contrast, LZOC forms an oxygen-rich interphase with LiCoO (LCO), showing better interfacial stability. The electrostatic potential difference between LZOC and LPSC promotes Li diffusion, maintaining interface stability even as LPSC decomposes, thereby preventing severe degradation of LZOC. Therefore, the LCO-LZOC composite cathode exhibits better electrochemical performance than LCO-LIC. This study elucidates the basic mechanism of interfacial reaction and ion diffusion in sulfide-halide electrolytes and emphasizes the key role of electrolyte compatibility in ASSLBs failure pathways.

Ionic devices find applications such as flexible electronics and biomedicines and function by exploiting hybrid circuits of mobile ions and electrons. However, the poor interfacial compatibility of hard electronic conductors with soft ionic conductors in ionic devices leads to low deformability, sensitivity, electromechanical responses, and stability. Herein, an interpenetrating interface between silicone-modified polyurethane/carbon nanotube electronic conductors and ionoelastomers in an ionic device using in situ polymerization is fabricated.

Patients with hand dysfunction require joint rehabilitation for functional restoration, and wearable electronics can provide physical signals to assess and guide the process. However, most wearable electronics are susceptible to failure under large deformations owing to instability in the layered structure, thereby weakening signal reliability. Herein, an in-situ self-welding strategy that uses dynamic hydrogen bonds at interfaces to integrate conductive elastomer layers into highly robust electronics is proposed.

The high reactivity of sodium leads to significant safety challenges, while the unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) further complicates its use in sodium-metal batteries (SMBs), collectively impeding their path to commercialization. A deep eutectic electrolyte (DEE) is introduced, which addresses these challenges by balancing high ionic conductivity with stable SEI formation. The introduction of -methylacetamide enhances the nonflammability of the solvent and adjusts the SEI composition.

The formation, stability, and decay of foams occur under dynamic conditions. Given their inherent complexity, an accurate description of these subprocesses necessitates an analysis of multiple factors, with a particular focus on the formation and structure of the adsorption layer. Single rising bubble techniques facilitate a deeper comprehension of the dynamics of diverse phenomena in foams, as they yield experimental data under dynamic conditions.

Designing anode electrodes with long-term stability and efficiency for seawater electrolysis is crucial for addressing key challenges in sustainable hydrogen production and clean energy systems. Here, we developed self-supporting bimetallic Ni-Co-MOF electrodes, demonstrating exceptional performance and durability in alkaline seawater electrolysis due to their high voltammetric charge density and increased electrochemically accessible active sites. The reaction kinetics of the water oxidation reaction in the presence of Cl ions (at concentrations ranging from 0.
