High‐capacity cathodes and anodes in energy storage area are required for delivering high energy density due to the ever‐increasing demands in the applications of electric vehicles and power grids, which suffer from significant safety concerns and poor cycling stability at the current stage. All‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) have been considered to be particularly promising within the new generation of energy storage, owing to the superiority of safety, wide potential window, and long cycling life. As the key component in ASSLBs, individual solid electrolytes that can meet practical application standards are very rare due to poor performance. To the present day, numerous research efforts have been expended to find applicable solid‐state electrolytes and tremendous progress has been achieved, especially for garnet‐type solid electrolytes. Nevertheless, the garnet‐type solid electrolyte is still facing some crucial dilemmas. Hence, the issues of garnet electrolytes' ionic conductivity, the interfaces between electrodes and garnet solid electrolytes, and application of theoretical calculation on garnet electrolytes are focuses in this review. Furthermore, prospective developments and alternative approaches to the issues are presented, with an aim to improve understanding of garnet electrolytes and promote their practical applications in solid‐state batteries.

redox pair of Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ . In order to further improve the electrochemical capability of PB-type cathodes, the evolved manners, containing size-controlled, crystalline increased, and elements substituted, are usually employed. [5] Note that size reduction could broaden the energy distribution of surface and induce more ions adsorbing that brought them more to participate in the redox reaction. [6] As shown by previous reports, [7] high crystallinity always indicated that less coordinated water would occupy the [Fe(CN) 6 ] vacancies, giving rise to the stability of FeCNFe bridge, followed by the considerable capacity at large current density. Importantly, through the replacement of Fe atoms by metal ions (Ni, Co, and Mn), the evolution of physical-chemical features could be effectively tuned, like the morphology, crystalline, and internal pore structure, etc. [5b] For example, the Nidoped PB structure was investigated with the different contents of Ni-doped, and it is obvious that the optimized sample could deliver a capacity of ≈55 mAh g −1 . [5b] It should be noted that the substitutions of heteroatoms (Ni, Co, and Mn substituted Fe ions of PBs) have not been systemically investigated on the effect of the physicalchemical traits in details.Alternatively, restricted by weak Na-storage capacity of traditional anodes, the explorations of new materials with both satisfactory capacity and ultrafast rate ability are urgent. [8] Meanwhile, PBs as a controllable precursor have been utilized to provide great architecture with various element component such as hollow Fe 2 O 3 microboxes and NiS nanoframes, etc. [2b] Notably, compared to metal-oxide/sulfur, metal-selenides show lower energy consumption of conversion reaction, owing to its weak electronegativity (2.5) and high electronic kinetics (1 × 10 −5 S m −1 ). [9] However, their electrochemical properties are still limited by the similar issues of conversion-type materials, containing the volume swelling and the dissolution of polysulfide/polyselenide during cycling. [10] Fortunately, in the process of transformation from cathodes to anodes of PBs, the CN groups would be effectively turned into nitrogen-doped carbon, which boosts the alleviation of volume change and the stabilization of by-products. Moreover, it is found that foreign cations assisted metal-selenide would bring about more active defects and exposed edge sites. [11] Bestowed by the experiences Exploring high-rate electrode materials with excellent kinetic properties is imperative for advanced sodium-storage systems. Herein, novel cubic-like XFe (X = Co, Ni, Mn) Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), as cathodes materials, are obtained through as-tuned ionic bonding, delivering improved crystallinity and homogeneous particles size. As expected, Ni-Fe PBAs show a capacity of 81 mAh g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 , mainly resulting from their physical-chemical stability, fast kinetics, and "zero-strain" insertion characteristics. Considering that the combination of elements incorporated with carbon may increase ...
