PREPARATION AND ELECTROCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANES BASED ON SAN/PVDF-HFP BLENDS

A copolymer of poly(acrylonitrile-co-styrene) (SAN) was synthesized via an emulsion polymerization method. Novel polymer electrolyte membranes cast from the blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), SAN and fumed silica (SiO2) are microporous and can be used in polymer lithium-ion batteries. The membrane shows excellent characteristics such as high ionic conductivity and good mechanical strength when the mass ratio between SAN and PVDF-HFP and SiO2 is 3.5/31.5/5. The ionic conductivity of the membrane soaked in a liquid electrolyte of 1 mol/L LiPF6/EC/DMC/DEC is 4.9×10-3 S cm-1 at 25℃. The membrane is electrochemical stable up to 5.5 V versus Li /Li in the liquid electrolyte. The influences of SiO2 content on the porosity and mechanical strength of the membranes were studied. Polymer lithium-ion batteries based on the membranes were assembled and their performances were also studied.     

PVDF/PAN/SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> polymer electrolyte membrane prepared by combination of phase inversion and chemical reaction method for lithium ion batteries

PVDF/PAN/SiO₂ polymer electrolyte membranes based on non-woven fabrics were prepared via introducing a chemical reaction into Loeb-Sourirajan (L-S) phase inversion process. It was found that physical properties (porosity, electrolyte uptake and ionic conductivity) and electrochemical properties were obviously improved. A favorable membrane structure with fully connective porous and uniform pore size distribution was obtained. The effects of PVDF/PAN weight ratio on the morphology, crystallinity, porosity, and electrochemical performances of membranes were studied. The optimized PVDF/PAN (70/30 w/w) (designated as M_pc30) polymer electrolyte membrane delivered excellent electrolyte uptake of 246.8 % and the highest ionic conductivity of 3.32 × 10^?3 S/cm with electrochemical stability up to 5.0 V (vs. Li/Li⁺). In terms of cell performance, the Li/M_pc30 polymer electrolyte/LiFePO₄ battery exhibited satisfactory electrochemical properties including high discharge capacity of 149 mAh/g at 0.2 C rate and good discharge performance at different current densities. The promising results reported here clearly indicated that PVDF/PAN/SiO₂ polymer electrolyte membranes prepared by the combination of phase inversion and chemical reaction method were promising enough to be applied in power lithium ion batteries.

Effect of polyaniline (PANI) on Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexaflouro propylene) (PVDF-co-HFP) polymer electrolyte membrane prepared by breath figure method

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexaflouro propylene) is a well-known material for polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) due to its low cost, high mechanical integrity and excellent chemical resistance; however, its pure form has limited characteristics that require further modification to achieve optimum results. Therefore, the different dosages of polyaniline (PANI) (10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt%, 40 wt% and 50 wt%) were incorporated into PVDF-HFP blend to fabricate PVDF-HFP/PANI polymer electrolyte membrane by using breath-figure method. The FTIR peaks of PVDF-HFP and PVDF-HFP/PANI membrane confirms the successful incorporation of PANI into PVDF-HFP blend, while TGA, DSC and XRD analysis shows the PANI effect on stability and ionic conductivity of PVDF-HFP membrane. The PVDF-HFP/PANI membrane with 30 wt% PANI found superior with the highest porosity of 83%, electrolyte uptake of 270% and ionic conductivity of 1.96 mS cm⁻¹; however, the other concentrations of PANI were also effective and enhanced the performance of PVDF-HFP membrane. This shows the improved performances of PVDF-HFP membrane were attributed to successful incorporation of PANI and the proposed membrane can be a suitable alternative PEM or a separator for energy devices.

PVDF-HFP/PMMA-coated PE separator for lithium ion battery

Microporous poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP)/poly(methyl methacryate) (PMMA)-coated polyethylene (PE) separators were prepared by a simple dip-coating process with various compositions of PVDF-HFP/PMMA mixture under 40% relative humidity condition. The results indicate that the porosity, liquid electrolyte uptake, and ionic conductivity of the coated separators are largely affected by a ratio of PVDF-HFP/PMMA mixture and the highest porosity, electrolyte uptake, and ionic conductivity can be achieved at a composition of PVDF-HFP/PMMA (5/5). The results of the cell performance tests also reveal that the PE separator coated with PVDF-HFP/PMMA in a ratio of 5:5 provides better rate capability and cycle stability than other PE separators coated with different ratios.

Evaluation of the main processing parameters influencing the performance of poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene) lithium-ion battery separators

Poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene) (PVDF–TrFE) membranes are evaluated for lithium-ion battery separator applications. Some of the main parameters affecting separator performance such as porosity, dehydration of lithium ions, and processing technique (Li-ion uptake versus composite formation) are investigated. The polymer characteristics, as determined by infrared spectroscopy, do not change as a function of porosity, dehydration of lithium ions in the electrolyte solution, or processing technique. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy represented through the Nyquist plot, Bode plot, and the ionic conductivity as a function of temperature strongly depends on the aforementioned parameters. The membrane that exhibits the highest ionic conductivity is a porous membrane without dehydration of lithium ions and prepared by the uptake technique. The performance of the membrane for battery applications are, therefore, strongly influenced both by porosity and processing technique.     

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PVDF-HFP MICROPOROUS MEMBRANE BY TEMPLATE METHOD

Porous poly（vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene） （PVDF-HFP） membranes were successfully prepared using dibutyl phthalate （DBP）, polyvinylpyrrolidone （PVP-K30）, polyethylene glycol 200 （PEG200） as templates. SEM was used to examine the morphology of the PVDF-HFP porous membranes. It was found that these membranes have an asymmetric structure and the blends of PVDF-HFP/DBP formed nanoporous membranes, whereas the blends of PVDF- HFP/PVP-K30 formed ＂sponge-like＂ and microporous membranes. Moreover, the average pore size and porosity was about 0.3 μm and 48.7%, respectively. The crystallinity, thermal stability and mechanical strength of membranes were characterized by XRD, DSC, TGA and stress-strain tests. The results showed that the membranes are a crystals with excellent thermal stability. It was an effective way to regulate pore size and morphology of the PVDF-HFP membranes.

High performance dye-sensitized solar cell based on 2-mercaptobenzimidazole doped poly(vinylidinefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) based polymer electrolyte

In this work, the influence of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2-MCBI) on poly(vinylidinefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)/KI/I₂ (PVDF-HFP/KI/I₂) polymer electrolytes were studied. The pure and different weight percentage ratios (20, 30, 40 and 50%) of 2-MCBI doped PVDF-HFP/KI/I₂ electrolytes were prepared by a solution casting technique. The as-prepared polymer electrolyte films were characterized using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), alternating current (AC)-impedance analysis. The addition of 2-MCBI with pure PVDF-HFP/KI/I₂ was found to increase the ionic conductivity of electrolyte. Among the various additions, 30 wt% 2-MCBI doped PVDF-HFP/KI/I₂ showed the highest room temperature ionic conductivity values than the others. The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) fabricated using this optimized polymer electrolyte achieved a high power conversion efficiency of 4.40% than the pure PVDF-HFP/KI/I₂ (1.74%) at similar experimental conditions. Thus, the 2-MCBI doped polymer electrolyte has proven to be an effective substitute to the liquid electrolyte in DSSCs.
