Hydrogel electrolytes, which combine the advantages of solid and liquid electrolytes, offer unique adaptability to extreme conditions and represent a promising paradigm for overcoming existing technological barriers. In this review, we systematically examine the behavior of hydrogel electrolytes under extreme conditions, summarize the challenges and optimization strategies for these conditions, and outline future research directions.

This mobility has driven significant interest in PRs over the past decades. Since CDs are readily available in both high purities and large quantities, CD-based PRs have received more and more attentions. However, their practical application has been limited by poor processability and mechanical properties. Leveraging advanced polymerization techniques enables the modifying of polymer chains or polymeric structures onto PRs to form polymer-modified polyrotaxanes (PM-PRs). This polymeric modification enhances the solubility and processability of PRs while preserving the unique properties conferred by the mobile CDs. Furthermore, incorporating diverse functional polymers can introduce new functionalities to PRs. Critically, the mobility of the threaded CDs within the supramolecular PR structure provides key advantages. These characteristics make PM-PRs with mobile CDs highly suitable for innovative, adaptable material applications. Although numerous reviews have reported the synthesis and applications of PRs, a comprehensive review focusing on PM-PR remains unavailable.

By leveraging the network structure of fibers, this method enhances rate capability and cycling performance, providing a compelling alternative to the conventional and currently predominant wet processing. The review delves into PTFE fibrillation mechanisms and examines critical influencing factors including material properties and processing parameters. It also discusses challenges associated with the electrodes fabricated by PTFE fibrillation, including structural instability due to insufficient PTFE fibrillization, compromised electrical conductivity from an insufficient conductive network, inhomogeneous dispersion resulting from the absence of solvents, restricted ionic transport due to increased electrode thickness, inadequate adhesion to current collector because of low surface energy of PTFE, electrochemical degradation due to low lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of PTFE, particle damage during processing and environmental concerns related PTFE being a perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Moreover, biopolymers can be derived and extracted from readily available biomass, reducing costs, and promoting circularity. Lignin, a renewable and abundant by-product of the wood-based materials industry and emerging biorefineries, is a complex organic polymer with surface-active properties, making it a suitable precursor for bio-sourced flotation reagents.

This review comprehensively examines the multifaceted role of silica-based fillers—spanning pristine, modified, and container-type structures—in the design of high-performance corrosion protection coatings. We comprehensively analyze coating fabrication technologies, the barrier-enhancing mechanisms of silica fillers, and advanced strategies for synthesizing and functionalizing silica micro/nano-containers to achieve stimuli-responsive release. Special emphasis is placed on “gatekeeper” systems that enable on-demand, localized delivery of inhibitors in response to corrosion-related triggers. By integrating discussions on both physical barrier enhancement and active self-healing functionality, this work provides a unified perspective on silica-based coating design.
