Herein, a Li<sub><em>x</em></sub>Ag solid solution alloy with high Li diffusion kinetic is reported as a mixed ion-electron conductor (MIEC) alloy anode. The high Li diffusion kinetic stemming from a low eutectic point and a high mutual solubility of Li<sub><em>x</em></sub>Ag could reduce the Li concentration gradient in the anode, regulate Li electrochemical potential, and change the relative local overpotential for Li stripping/plating in the anode. Notably, Li stripping/plating prefers energetically at the Li<sub><em>x</em></sub>Ag/current collector interface rather than the LLZTO/Li<sub><em>x</em></sub>Ag interface. Therefore, the contact loss is avoided at the LLZTO/Li<sub><em>x</em></sub>Ag interface. As a result, excellent cycling stability (∼1,200 h at 0.2 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>), and dendrites tolerance (critical current density of 1.2 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>) are demonstrated by using Li<sub><em>x</em></sub>Ag as anode. Further research has elucidated that those alloys with low eutectic temperature and high mutual solubility with lithium should be focused on, as they would provide and maintain a soft lattice and a high lithium diffusion rate during composition change.

Nevertheless, most of scholars are focus on the meso-scale mechanical responses of woven composites, and few studies are involved in their multi-scale mechanical behaviors and hierarchical design strategy of composite structures in electric vehicles. In this work, a multi-scale analysis strategy was proposed to investigate mechanical behaviors of composite front firewall.

Finally, a reasonable layout scheme of composite front firewall was quantitatively obtained. The maximum errors between the predicted and theoretical/experimental results in terms of equivalent engineering constants of fiber yarns and 2D twill woven composites (2DTWCs) were 8.8 GPa and 7%, respectively. It indicates that the multi-scale models can be used to evaluate the mechanical properties of 2DTWCs. Additionally, the total weight of optimized composite front firewall was reduced by 36% in comparison with the reference, and simultaneously the total stiffness was improved by 26%.
