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: 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.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper designed and synthesized Zn defective Zn/Co oxide (ZDZCO) nanosheets, a cation-vacancy-rich bimetallic oxide for the construction of a multifunctional polysulfide blocking layer.

TL;DR: In this article, the seaweed carbon (SWC) is pyrolyzed with N and displays micro-, meso-and macroporous structures and possesses a high total pore volume of 1.48 cm3 g−1 and a high surface area of 1510.71 m2 g− 1, which is beneficial for encapsulating a large amount of sulfur.
