Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of solid electrolytes and all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) has sparked great attention, which could be a crucial technology for the success of forthcoming electronics and electric vehicles. However, solid electrolytes and all-solid-state batteries are hampered due to problematic contact issues at solid–solid interfaces and safety concerns. In addition, the all-solid-state batteries have shown dendrite growth, poor life cycle and energy densities owing to a lack of appropriate electrolyte materials with high ionic conductivity in comparison to liquid electrolytes.

Therefore, the design and characterization of novel solid electrolyte materials are the main topics of this Special Issue. Potential subjects could concentrate as follows:

  • Classification of different types of solid states and overview of their characteristics;
  • Interface types and important aspects;
  • Separators based on composite membranes;
  • Developing novel solid electrolyte materials with high ionic conductivity;
  • Evaluation of current state-of-the-art characterization methods in ASSBs;
  • Solid state electrodes and composite solid electrolyte;
  • Understanding interfacial behavior in ASSBs;
  • Safety issues in all-solid-state batteries and environmental aspects

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is one of the materials most commonly used in membrane separators. The structures of pristine PVDF and PVDF nanocomposite films were processed via hot pressing at 140 °C, 170 °C, and 185 °C at a pressure of 2 tons for 15 min. According to a surface investigation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the spherulitic character of the PVDF nanocomposite films was preserved up to a pressing temperatures of 140 °C. The cross-sectional SEM images confirmed that higher pressing temperatures (170 °C) caused the structures to be compacted into monolithic films, and a pressing temperature of 185 °C caused the melting of the PVDF matrix and its recrystallization into thin films (21–29 μm). An average crystallinity value of 51.5% was calculated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and this decreased as the pressing temperature increased. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements confirmed the presence of a dominant γ phases in the PVDF nanocomposite films, whose nanofillers consisted of vermiculite particles (ZnO_V and ZnO_V_CH) and mixed α + γ phases. The percentage of the electroactive γ phase (approximately 79%) was calculated via a FTIR analysis, and the ratio between the β phase and the α phase was determined from the Raman spectra. A hydrophilic surface with contact angles ranging from 61 to 84° was demonstrated for all the PVDF nanocomposite membranes. The superoleophilic surface was measured using poly(dimethylsiloxane) with contact angles ranging from 4 to 13°, and these angles reached lower values when in contact with sulfur particles.

Digital platforms, electric vehicles, and renewable energy grids all rely on energy storage systems, with lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as the predominant technology. However, the current energy density of LIBs is insufficient to meet the long-term objectives of these applications, and traditional LIBs with flammable liquid electrolytes pose safety concerns. All-solid-state lithium–oxygen batteries (ASSLOBs) are emerging as a promising next-generation energy storage technology with potential energy densities up to ten times higher than those of current LIBs. ASSLOBs utilize non-flammable solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) and offer superior safety and mechanical stability. However, ASSLOBs face challenges, including high solid-state interface resistances and unstable lithium-metal anodes. In recent years, significant progress has been proceeded in developing new materials and interfaces that improve the performance and stability of ASSLOBs. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances and challenges in the ASSLOB technology, including the design principles and strategies for developing high-performance ASSLOBs and advances in SSEs, cathodes, anodes, and interface engineering. Overall, this review highlights valuable insights into the current state of the art and future directions for ASSLOB technology. Full article
