All-Solid-State Lithium-Organic Batteries Comprising Single-Ion Polymer Nanoparticle Electrolytes

The Cover Feature shows environmentally friendly all-solid-state lithium batteries comprising single-ion conducting polymer nanoparticle electrolytes and bioinspired polyvinyl catechol cathodes derived from naturally abundant caffeic acid. The lithium cells feature a high specific capacity, long cycle life, and high mechanical/thermal/electrochemical stabilities, and they allow the safe operation of lithium-metal batteries even at elevated temperatures.
