Among the various SSEs, solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are a highly preferred choice due to their high thermal stability, thin design, and good formability. However, polymer electrolytes have low ionic conductivity, for example, polyethylene oxide (PEO), one of the most dominant polyelectrolyte materials, has a low ionic conductivity at room temperature due to its high crystallinity. Theoretically, increasing the ionic active sites by decreasing its crystallinity is an effective strategy, but this may lead to its inability to form films or poor mechanical strength. In this work, the crystallinity of PEO is reduced by introducing succinonitrile (SN), and solution blow-spun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber film is employed as the skeleton of the SPE to provide good mechanical strength. PEO-LiTFSI-SN/PAN SPEs have a tensile strength of at least 4.5 MPa. To provide more Li⁺ active sites, PEO-LiTFSI-SN/MXene@PAN composite SPEs are fabricated by doping the PAN fibers with MXene rich in functional groups. The specific capacity of the LFP|PEO-LiTFSI-SN/MXene@PAN|Li button cell reaches 134.8 mAh g⁻¹ in the first cycle, and the capacity retention rate of 100 cycles is 75.8% at 0.5 C at room temperature.</p>","PeriodicalId":100035,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Physics Research","volume":"4 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/apxr.202400166","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, nonlinear extensions of the Hatano–Nelson model have opened a new avenue for exploring the interplay between nonlinearity and non-Hermitian effects. Particularly, in lattices with open boundary conditions, nonlinear skin modes and solitons, localized at the edge or within the bulk of the lattice, have been predicted. In this work, the nonlinear extension of the Hatano–Nelson model with periodic boundary conditions is examined and a novel dynamical phenomenon arising from the modulational instability of nonlinear plane waves: growth blockade is revealed.

A novel post-treatment method for conventionally doped PEDOT:PSS thin-films (immersed in methanol) is presented to further enhance <i>σ</i> via doping with the superacid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFSA). The origin of the improved <i>σ</i> in PEDOT:PSS thin-films treated with this dual approach is investigated. The study reveals that the superacid vapor treatment uniquely enhances the lamellar stacking of PEDOT chains and induces vertical phase separation between PEDOT and PSS, leading to improved carrier mobility by a factor of three. This behavior differs from conventional post-treatments, making the combined methanol immersion and TFSA vapor treatment an effective strategy for achieving a high <i>σ</i> of ≈2053 S cm⁻¹, making these films ideal candidates for various polymer-based electronics.
