Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Research on ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, and polymer-based electrolytes offers a promising strategy to overcome the intrinsic limitations of conventional liquid electrolytes—particularly their flammability, narrow electrochemical stability window, and poor compatibility with reactive electrodes. These advanced electrolyte systems synergistically integrate the non-flammability and thermal stability of ionic compounds with the mechanical robustness and solution-processability of polymeric matrices, thereby enhancing both safety and electrochemical performance. As a result, they hold significant promise for next-generation batteries, including lithium-metal, sodium-ion, and multivalent systems.

This Topic aims to showcase cutting-edge research advances in ionic liquid/deep eutectic electrolyte/polymer-based systems for batteries, covering fundamental studies, material innovations, and practical applications through original research articles and comprehensive reviews.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Novel ionic liquid and deep eutectic solvent formulations
• Novel polymer electrolyte system for batteries
• Ion transport mechanisms and conductivity enhancement strategies
• Interfacial engineering and stability with various electrodes
• Thermal properties and safety characteristics
• Advanced characterization and computational modeling
• Applications in lithium-metal, sodium-ion, and multivalent battery systems
• Performance degradation analysis and failure mechanisms.

Studies on high-voltage cathode battery systems with enhanced safety characteristics are strongly encouraged.
