Ionic Elastomer Interface for Low‐Pressure and Durable All‐Solid‐State Batteries
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.This work reports an ionically conductive elastomer that enables stable all‐solid‐state batteries（ASSBs）under low external pressure. The soft elastomeric matrix, integrated with a LiG3‐based conductive phase(lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and triethylene glycol dimethyl ether), simultaneously delivers high ionic conductivity and mechanical ...

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.We identify two decisive levers for SAM interfaces: molecular design (carboxylic acid‐based, phosphonic acid, other anchoring chemistries, and polymeric SAMs) and mixing routes (co‐assembly, in situ assembly, pre‐ and post‐treatment). Coordinated tuning of headgroups and assembly pathways optimises energy alignment and film formation, suppresses ...
