Major Contributions

1.Introducing Asymmetric Gel Polymer Electrolytes (ASGPEs) :
We proposed ASGPEs as a novel solution to overcome the limitations of symmetric gel polymer electrolytes (SGPEs). By designing a bilayer or gradient structure, we ensured that each side of the electrolyte is optimized for compatibility with either the cathode or anode. This innovation addresses the challenges of interfacial stability and enhances the multifunctionality of lithium batteries.

2.Advancing Polymer Chemistry for Enhanced Stability :
Our team developed tailored polymer chemistries to improve oxidative stability at the cathode and mechanical robustness at the anode. By incorporating specific polymers and additives, we achieved stable cathode electrolyte interfaces (CEI) and solid electrolyte interphases (SEI), effectively suppressing dendrite growth while maintaining high ionic conductivity.

3.Innovating Fabrication Techniques for ASGPEs :
We explored advanced fabrication methods, such as sequential coating and in-situ polymerization, to precisely engineer ASGPE structures. These techniques allowed us to enhance ionic conductivity, ensure uniformity, and improve the overall safety and longevity of lithium batteries.

4.Providing a Comprehensive Framework for Future Development :
Through this work, we conducted a thorough review of the transition from SGPEs to ASGPEs, analyzing their design, fabrication, and functionality. Our insights provide a systematic roadmap for researchers and industry stakeholders to develop next-generation lithium batteries with safer and more efficient gel polymer electrolytes.
