TL;DR: A facile, cost-effective and one-step approach to create an artificial lithium metal/electrolyte interphase that suppresses dead and dendrite Li and stores Li via formation of alloys, enabling impressive battery performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review focusing on various perovskite formation and crystallization routes with respect to processing parameters including the precursor solvent, solvent mixture, temperature, time, formation of solvent led intermediate complex species, doping and humidity are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a multifunctional protective layer was designed for the first time using N2 plasma activation of the Li metal, which can physically block the direct contact between reactive Li metal and the liquid organic electrolyte, and suppress the Li dendrites formation.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and efficient photocharging design approach is demonstrated, where a promising low cost single junction solar cell such as perovskite solar cell or dye sensitized solar cell efficiently charges a Li4Ti5O12-LiCoO2 Li-ion cell using a DC-DC voltage boost converter.
