Summary

The ever-increasing demand for portable devices and electric vehicles (EVs) with high power density and safety, especially electrochemical energy technologies, such as all-solid-state Li/Na ion batteries（ASSBs）or Li-sulfur batteries as advanced next-generation power sources have evoked a plethora of research owing to their high energy density, flexibility of scale and environmentally friendly features. While Solid-state electrolytes with good thermal and electrochemical stability are the key part of ASSBs. Among them, Polyelectrolytes have been widely studied owing to their simple and convenient machining method and excellent interface contact with electrodes. However, the low Li/Na-ion conductivity of polymer limits its application. Therefore, a series of methods have been adopted to modify polymer-based electrolytes, including copolymerization, grafting, cross-linking and adding nano-sized inorganic fillers and so on..

This Special Issue focuses on the study of solid polymer electrolyte and new strategies. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

∙ Theoretical and experimental study on the design ofsolid polymer electrolyte, 

∙ Advancements in Solid Polymer Electrolytes for ASSBs and Li-Sulfur Batteries

∙ Copolymerization Techniques for Enhanced Ion Conductivity in Polyelectrolytes

∙ Cross-Linking Strategies in Polymer Electrolytes: Impacts on Mechanical and Electrochemical Stability

∙ Safety Protocols and Performance Metrics for Solid Polymer Electrolytes in EV Applications
