TL;DR: This review reviews existing and emerging binders, binding technology used in energy-storage devices, and state-of-the-art mechanical characterization and computational methods for binder research, and proposes prospective next-generation binders for energy- storage devices from the molecular level to the macro level.

TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible all-solid-state composite electrolyte is synthesized based on oxygen-vacancy-rich Ca-doped CeO2 (Ca-CeO2) nanotube, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI), and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), namely Ca −Ce O2/Li TFSI/PEO.

TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors synthesized a self-healing poly(ether-thioureas) (SHPET) polymer with balanced rigidity and softness for the silicon anode.

TL;DR: The design of a Co3O4@N-doped carbon composite as an advanced anode material for KIBs is reported, with a reversible capacity of 448.7 mAh/g, one of the best amongst previously reported metal oxide based KIB anodes in literature.

TL;DR: This work systematically review the polymer composite frameworks that confine the sulfur within the sulfur electrode, taking the roles of sulfur hosts and functions of binders into consideration, and could provide a more comprehensive strategy in designing sulfur electrodes for long-life, large-capacity and high-rate Li–S battery.
