Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lithium-ion batteries have been proven to be efficient and high-energy-density electrochemical energy storage devices, and have been fully commercialized. However, existing battery systems cannot fully meet the requirements of electric vehicles, electrochemical energy storage and other fields in terms of energy density, safety, magnification performance, etc. Thus, it is imperative to develop next-generation lithium-based batteries. The purpose of this Special Issue is to draw attention to the latest progress in the field of next-generation lithium-based batteries, also integrating research progress in related fields. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  1. Cathode materials;
  2. Anode materials;
  3. Separators;
  4. Solid-state electrolytes;
  5. Electrolytes and additives;
  6. Materials related to battery thermal management.

The rapid growth of renewable energy sources and the expanding market for electric vehicles (EVs) have escalated the demand for safe lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with excellent performance. But the limitations of safety issues and energy density for LIBs continue to be obstacles to their future use. Recently, single-ion covalent-organic-framework-based (COF-based) solid electrolytes have emerged as a promising avenue to address the limitations of traditional liquid electrolytes and enhance the performance of LIBs. COFs have a porous structure and abundant electron-donating groups, enabling the construction of an available ionic conductive network. So, COFs are the subject of extensive and in-depth investigation, especially in terms of the impacts their adjustable porous structure and tunable chemistry on the research of ionic transport thermodynamics and transport kinetics. In this perspective, we present a comprehensive and significant overview of the recent development progress of single-ion COF-based solid electrolytes, highlighting their rare performance and potential applications in solid lithium batteries. This review illustrates the merits of single-ion conducting solid electrolytes and single-ion COF conductor-based solid electrolytes. Furthermore, the properties of anionic, cationic, and hybrid single-ion COF-based conducting electrolytes are discussed, and their electrochemical performance is also compared when applied in Li-ion batteries. Finally, to solve challenges in COF-based Li-ion batteries, strategies are provided to obtain a high lifespan, rate performance, and stable and safe batteries. This work is promising to offer valuable insights for researchers and the energy storage industry. Full article
