A novel single lithium‐ion (Li‐ion) conducting polymer electrolyte is presented that is composed of the lithium salt of a polyanion, poly[(4‐styrenesulfonyl)(trifluoromethyl(S‐trifluoromethylsulfonylimino)sulfonyl)imide] (PSsTFSI?), and high‐molecular‐weight poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The neat LiPSsTFSI ionomer displays a low glass‐transition temperature (44.3 °C; that is, strongly plasticizing effect). The complex of LiPSsTFSI/PEO exhibits a high Li‐ion transference number (tLi+=0.91) and is thermally stable up to 300 °C. Meanwhile, it exhibits a Li‐ion conductivity as high as 1.35×10?4 S cm?1 at 90 °C, which is comparable to that for the classic ambipolar LiTFSI/PEO SPEs at the same temperature. These outstanding properties of the LiPSsTFSI/PEO blended polymer electrolyte would make it promising as solid polymer electrolytes for Li batteries. 相似文献
The formation of a 2D‐hexagonal (p6m) silica‐based hybrid dual‐mesoporous material is investigated in situ by using synchrotron time‐resolved small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). The material is synthesized from a mixed micellar solution of a nonionic fluorinated surfactant, RF8(EO)9 (EO=ethylene oxide) and a nonionic triblock copolymer, P123. Both mesoporous networks, with pore dimensions of 3.3 and 8.5 nm respectively, are observed by nitrogen sorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and SAXS. The in situ SAXS experiments reveal that mesophase formation occurs in two steps. First the nucleation and growth of a primary 2D‐hexagonal network (N1), associated with mixed micelles containing P123, then subsequent formation of a second network (N2), associated with micelles of pure RF8(EO)9. The data obtained from SAXS and TEM suggest that the N1 network is used as a nucleation center for the formation of the N2 network, which would result in the formation of a grain with two mesopore sizes. Understanding the mechanism of the formation of such materials is an important step towards the synthesis of more‐complex materials by fine tuning the porosity. 相似文献
Summary: A novel mesoporous organosilica with additional cyclodextrin‐based micropores has been synthesized from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and cyclodextrin‐based silane monomer precursors and triblock PEO‐PPO‐PEO (poly(ethylene oxide)‐poly(propylene oxide)‐ poly(ethylene oxide)) copolymer P123 as the structure‐directing template with the aid of sodium chloride and the supramolecular assembly of cyclodextrins with P123.
A random copolymer of ethylene oxide with CO2, namely, poly(ethylene carbonate/ethylene oxide) (P(EC/EO)), has been synthesized as a novel candidate for polymer electrolytes. Electrolyte composed of P(EC/EO) and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide has an ionic conductivity of 0.48 mS cm−1 and a Li transference number (t +) of 0.66 at 60 °C. To study ion‐conductive behavior of P(EC/EO)‐based electrolytes, the Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) technique is used to analyze the interactions between Li+ and functional groups of the copolymer. The carbonate groups may interact preferentially with Li+ rather than the ether groups in P(EC/EO). This study suggests that copolymerization of carbonate and flexible ether units can realize both high conductivity and t + for polymer electrolytes. High‐performance P(EC/EO) electrolyte is expected to be a candidate material for use in all‐solid‐state batteries.
A series of well‐defined triblock copolymers, poly(N, N‐dimethylacrylamide)‐block‐poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(N, N‐dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA‐b‐PEO‐b‐PDMA) synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization, were used as physical coatings for protein separation. A comparative study of EOF showed that the triblock copolymer presented good capillary coating ability and EOF efficient suppression. The effects of the Mr of PDMA block in PDMA‐b‐PEO‐b‐PDMA triblock copolymer and buffer pH on the separation of basic protein for CE were investigated. Moreover, the influence of the copolymer structure on separation of basic protein was studied by comparing the performance of PDMA‐b‐PEO‐b‐PDMA triblock copolymer with PEO‐b‐PDMA diblock copolymer. Furthermore, the triblock copolymer coating showed higher separation efficiency and better migration time repeatability than fused‐silica capillary when used in protein mixture separation and milk powder samples separation, respectively. The results demonstrated that the triblock copolymer coatings would have a wide application in the field of protein separation. 相似文献
Solid‐oxide Li+ electrolytes of a rechargeable cell are generally sensitive to moisture in the air as H+ exchanges for the mobile Li+ of the electrolyte and forms insulating surface phases at the electrolyte interfaces and in the grain boundaries of a polycrystalline membrane. These surface phases dominate the total interfacial resistance of a conventional rechargeable cell with a solid–electrolyte separator. We report a new perovskite Li+ solid electrolyte, Li0.38Sr0.44Ta0.7Hf0.3O2.95F0.05, with a lithium‐ion conductivity of σLi=4.8×10?4 S cm?1 at 25 °C that does not react with water having 3≤pH≤14. The solid electrolyte with a thin Li+‐conducting polymer on its surface to prevent reduction of Ta5+ is wet by metallic lithium and provides low‐impedance dendrite‐free plating/stripping of a lithium anode. It is also stable upon contact with a composite polymer cathode. With this solid electrolyte, we demonstrate excellent cycling performance of an all‐solid‐state Li/LiFePO4 cell, a Li‐S cell with a polymer‐gel cathode, and a supercapacitor. 相似文献
Constructing a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is a highly effective approach to overcome the poor reversibility of lithium (Li) metal anodes. Herein, an adhesive and self‐healable supramolecular copolymer, comprising of pendant poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) segments and ureido‐pyrimidinone (UPy) quadruple‐hydrogen‐bonding moieties, is developed as a protection layer of Li anode by a simple drop‐coating. The protection performance of in‐situ‐formed LiPEO–UPy SEI layer is significantly enhanced owing to the strong binding and improved stability arising from a spontaneous reaction between UPy groups and Li metal. An ultrathin (approximately 70 nm) LiPEO–UPy layer can contribute to stable and dendrite‐free cycling at a high areal capacity of 10 mAh cm?2 at 5 mA cm?2 for 1000 h. This coating together with the promising electrochemical performance offers a new strategy for the development of dendrite‐free metal anodes. 相似文献
Ethyl-bridged organic–inorganic hybrid silica particles were prepared via a sol–gel and hydrothermal synthesis approach using 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTESE) as the sole precursor, and triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (P123) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) as combined templates. The morphology, pore structure, chemical composition and liquid chromatographic performance of the obtained materials were investigated in detail. The particles exhibit a high surface area of 1136.40 m2/g, together with a pore volume of 0.39 cm3/g and an average pore size of 2.30 nm. Used as stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the particles without extra bonding either C18 or C8 can successfully separate a mixture of uracil, phenol, pyridine, methylbenzene, ethylbenzene and tert-butylbenzene. The obtained materials also show practical application in the separation of phthalate acid esters (PAEs), which are harmful to environment and human health. Although the columns packed with ethyl-bridged organic–inorganic hybrid silica show lower column efficiency and peak symmetry compared to commercial column, they have considerably higher chemical stability in alkaline mobile phase. The HSS column also possesses high mechanical stability which is similar to that of the commercial column. 相似文献
