The ever-rising demands for energy dense electrochemical storage systems have been driving interests in beyond Li-ion batteries such as those based on lithium and magnesium metals. These high energy density batteries suffer from several challenges, several of which stem from the flammability/volatility of the electrolytes and/or instability of the electrolyte with either the negative, positive electrode or both. Recently, hydride-based electrolytes have been paving a path towards overcoming these issues. Namely, highly performing solid state electrolytes have been reported and several key challenges in multivalent batteries were overcome. In this review, the classes of hydride-based electrolytes reported for energy dense batteries are discussed. Future perspectives are presented to guide research directions in this field.

A layered germanium telluride (GeTe) and its C-modified nanocomposite (GeTe–C) are synthesized by a simple solid-state synthesis technique, and their electrochemical behaviors for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are evaluated.
Li-rich layered cathodes based on Li2MnO3 have exhibited extraordinary promise to satisfy the rapidly increasing demand for high-energy density Li-ion batteries.
Li-ion batteries have been widely used. However, the safety concern is always serious due to its high energy density. In order to improve the safety of the batteries, it is necessary to use the protection integration circuit. In this article, the concept for realizing the safety protection of Li-ion batteries during charging and discharging is described briefly. A circuit design using Seiko BMS chip S-8209 is purposed. Based on this, a simulation was performed and verified using Pspice program, which provides a theoretical basis for the circuit design.
