Summary: As the most promising next-generation energy storage system, all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) have the advantages of high theoretical energy density and intrinsic safety. However, the limitation of the solid-solid contact between the electrode and the solid electrolytes (SEs) severely hinders the interfacial charge transport.

Summary: In this study, a charge-transfer complex electrolyte additive, 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), with high affinity for zinc was used to form a dense and robust interfacial complex layer on the zinc anode, suppressing the activity of H(2)O. The complex layer enabled the formation of a Zn-Zn-(TCNQ)(2) Ohmic contact interface, facilitating rapid ion/electron transport, improving electric field distribution, and preventing direct contact between active H2O and the zinc anode, resulting in a dendrite-free zinc anode and efficient zinc plating/stripping kinetics. As a result, the Zn||Zn symmetrical cell exhibited high plating/stripping reversibility for over 1000 hours at 20 mA cm(-2) and 5 mA h cm(-2), and a high depth of discharge of 43%. Furthermore, the Zn||MnO2 full cell demonstrated a high capacity of 143.3 mA h g(-1) at 2000 mA g(-1) even after 4000 cycles, with a capacity retention of 94.7% after returning to 100 mA g(-1).

Summary: The growth mechanism of Li dendrites is important for protecting Li metal anodes, and joule heat is proposed as another inducing mechanism for Li dendrites. Nonuniform interface structure can lead to disordered surface thermal distribution based on joule heat theory, which may induce chaotic nucleation and growth of dendrites. A new liquid metal welding strategy is explored to overcome this issue and is universally compatible with other traditional protection routes.

Summary: The CNG membrane, serving as a desolvation layer, effectively prevents water molecules from contacting the zinc anode, thereby delaying water-induced corrosion reactions and promoting redirected zinc deposition through deanionization shock. The flexible and toughened nature of the CNG membrane allows it to withstand strong forces and accommodate surface fluctuations of the zinc anode during plating/stripping processes, resulting in enhanced Coulombic efficiency and extended cycle life.
