Review on Comparative Study of Solid Polymer Electrolyte Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) Doped with Ionic Liquid

Future demands for energy shortages have prompted a lot of effort to be put into finding alternatives. The use of renewable energies as a revolutionary energy source has gained acceptance. Due to their high flexibility and the interaction between the electrode and the electrolyte, solid polymer electrolytes are employed as a favorable electrolyte for application of electrochemical devices to storage renewable energy. As these are easy in synthesis, have much lower mass density, shows high mechanical stability, also have low binding energy with salts, and high mobility of charge carriers, polyethylene Oxide (PEO) based electrolyte has attracted a lot of interest. Configuration rectification combining PEO with ionic liquids has been introduced to enhance the low ionic conductivity and poor thermodynamic stability of the PEO materials in high-voltage devices at ambient temperature. This configuration modification can successfully validate the applications of PEO polymer electrolyte with large electro-stable voltage ranges. Solution casting method has been used for the synthesis of polymer electrolyte. The essential physical characteristics of PEO in polymer matrices work as a polymer host in SPEs has been described in this review paper, along with several modifications to overcome these limitations. It has been seen that the addition of ionic liquid increases the all over conductivity of the solid polymer electrolyte in most cases also improves the electrical stability of the electrolyte.     

Ion Transport in Glyme- and Sulfolane-Based Highly Concentrated Electrolytes

Highly concentrated electrolytes (HCEs) have a similarity to ionic liquids (ILs) in high ionic nature, and indeed some of HECs are found to behave like an IL. HCEs have attracted considerable attention as prospective candidates for electrolyte materials in future lithium secondary batteries owing to their favorable properties both in the bulk and at the electrochemical interface. In this study, we highlight the effects of the solvent, counter anion, and diluent of HCEs on the Li⁺ ion coordination structure and transport properties (e. g., ionic conductivity and apparent Li⁺ ion transference number measured under anion-blocking conditions, ). Our studies on dynamic ion correlations unveiled the difference in the ion conduction mechanisms in HCEs and their intimate relevance to values. Our systematic analysis of the transport properties of HCEs also suggests the need for a compromise to simultaneously achieve high ionic conductivity and high values.

Cobalt‐Doped FeS2 Nanospheres with Complete Solid Solubility as a High‐Performance Anode Material for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Considering that the high capacity, long‐term cycle life, and high‐rate capability of anode materials for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) is a bottleneck currently, a series of Co‐doped FeS₂ solid solutions with different Co contents were prepared by a facile solvothermal method, and for the first time their Na‐storage properties were investigated. The optimized Co_0.5Fe_0.5S₂ (Fe0.5) has discharge capacities of 0.220 Ah g^?1 after 5000 cycles at 2 A g^?1 and 0.172 Ah g^?1 even at 20 A g^?1 with compatible ether‐based electrolyte in a voltage window of 0.8–2.9 V. The Fe0.5 sample transforms to layered Na_xCo_0.5Fe_0.5S₂ by initial activation, and the layered structure is maintained during following cycles. The redox reactions of Na_xCo_0.5Fe_0.5S₂ are dominated by pseudocapacitive behavior, leading to fast Na⁺ insertion/extraction and durable cycle life. A Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃/Fe0.5 full cell was assembled, delivering an initial capacity of 0.340 Ah g^?1.     

Electrical Percolation During Gelation of Lithium Doped Siloxane-Poly(oxyethylene) Hybrids

Gelation mechanisms of lithium-doped Siloxane-Poly(oxyethylene) (PEO) hybrids containing polymer of two different molecular weight (500 and 1900 g/mol) were investigated through the evolution of the electrical properties during the solgel transition. The results of electrical measurements, performed by in-situ complex impedance spectroscopy, were correlated with the coordination and the dynamical properties of the lithium ions during the process as shown by ⁷Li NMR measurements. For both hybrids sols, a decrease of the conductivity is observed at the initial gelation stage, due to the existence of an inverted percolation process consisting of the progressive separation of solvent molecules containing conducting species in isolated islands during the solid network formation. An increase of conductivity occurs at more advanced stages of gelation and aging, attributed to the increasing connectivity between PEO chains promoted by the formation of crosslinks of siloxane particles at their extremities, favoring hopping motions of lithium ions along the chains.

RF₃ and R_0.95Sr_0.05F_2.95 (R = La, Ce, Pr, Nd) ceramic specimens were prepared by hot pressing at 1173 K under pressure of 3 × 10⁸ Pa for 20 min. The ionic conductivity value was determined by means of impedance spectroscopy in vacuum from 293 to 823 K. For LaF₃ at 350 K, the single crystal / ceramics conductivity ratio is about 5. The difference decreases at higher temperature and disappears about 500 K. The ionic conductivity activation energy is 0.30 ± 0.05 eV. For La_0.95Sr_0.05F_2.95, the conductivity of ceramics below 500 K is slightly lower that of single crystals. At T > 500 K, the conductivity values of ceramic and single crystal specimens practically coincide. The ionic conductivity of hot pressed ceramics is about 10^?2 S/cm at 500 K and activation energy is 0.25 ± 0.02 eV.     

Ionic Conductivity in Solutions of Poly(ethylene oxide) and Lithium Perchlorate

Summary: Solution casting technique served to prepare solid solutions of lithium perchlorate and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) having different molecular masses. Salt concentrations of solutions were varied between around 2 and 13 wt%. Crystallinity and melting point depression served to determine composition and content of amorphous phase as well as thermodynamic behavior of the solutions. Conductivity as a function of salt concentration in the amorphous phase follows a power law at constant temperature (30 °C). It results that both exponent and mobility of charge carriers increase with ascending molecular mass of PEO. The mobility follows an increase with molecular mass proportional to M^2.8 indicating dependence of mobility on interstitial volume between chain molecules. Deviation of solution from perfect behavior can be evaluated by melting point depression. Accordingly, increase in conductivity is preferably related to approach to perfect solution behavior. Determination of dielectric function allows some conclusion about ion pair formation in the systems under discussion. It turns out that probability of ion pair formation decreases with increasing molecular mass of PEO in agreement with thermodynamic behavior of the solutions.

Solution Synthesis of Porous Silicon Particles as an Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries

Nanostructured silicon-based materials with porous structures have recently been found to be impressive anode materials with high capacity and cycling performance for lithium-ion batteries. However, the current methods of preparing porous silicon have generally been confronted with the requirement for multiple steps and complex synthesis. In the present study, porous silicon with high surface area was prepared by using a high yielding and simple reaction in which commercial magnesium powder readily reacts with HSiCl₃ with the help of an amine catalyst under mild conditions. The obtained porous silicon was coated with a nitrogen-doped carbon layer and used as the anode for lithium-ion batteries. The porous Si-carbon nanocomposites exhibited excellent cycling performance with a retained discharge capacity of 1300 mA h g⁻¹ after 200 cycles at 1 A g⁻¹ and a discharge capacity of 750 mA h g⁻¹ at a current density of 2 A g⁻¹ after 250 cycles. Remarkably, the Coulombic efficiency was maintained at nearly 100 % throughout the measurements.

Inorganic functional materials: optimization of properties by structural and compositional control

A review is given of the strategies used to dope inorganic solids and the consequences for properties such as ionic and electronic conductivity. Doping mechanisms involve either substitution of foreign ions onto lattice sites, creation of vacancies on either cation or anion sites, or population of normally empty interstitial sites by either anions or cations. Mechanisms for charge compensation associated with aliovalent doping are reviewed and examples are given in the fields of solid state ionics and high-temperature superconductivity. The strategies used for targeting materials with new properties are reviewed, including a surprising number of cases where startling new properties are encountered in well-known materials. Specific examples discussed include MgB2 superconductor, Na beta-alumina sodium ion conductor, Ca12Al14O33 oxide ion conductor, LiCoMnO4 lithium battery cathode, doped Li4SiO4 tunable lithium ion conductor, and La-doped BaTiO3 ferroelectric, which can be either semiconducting or insulating. Examples are also given of a curious observation that extraordinary properties are often encountered in materials that are on the edge of stability, either structurally or compositionally or at the crossover between different property types.

Thermodynamics of ionic solid solutions: II. Discontinuous series: A new treatment of existing distribution data

A method of finding the activity coefficients of salts, anhydrous or hydrated, in binary solid solutions, described in an earlier paper as it applies to continuous series, has been applied to discontinuous series. The salts must differ with respect to only one ion. The method requires isothermal distribution data for equilibria between liquid (aqueous) and solid solutions in the ternary system consisting of the two salts and water. The following salt pairs were used for illustration: K(I/Br) at 0, 15, 25, 35, and 50°C., (NH₄/K)SCN at 0, 30, 60, and 90°C., (K/Tl)C10₃ at 10°C., and (NH₄/K)SO₃NH₂, (NH₄/K)Br, (Mg/Co)SO₄-7H₂O, and (Mn/Cu) SO₄.n H₂O-all at 25°C. Two kinds of behavior were noted and treated differently: systems in which the two series have the same, and those in which they have different crystal lattices. For two salts, A and B, which have the same lattice, and whose rational activity coefficients, f _A and f _B , can be described by 2-suffix Margules equations (regular solutions), lnf _A =B_sx _B ² and lnf _B =B_sx _A ² to be partially miscible, B_s>2, but this requirement does not apply if the lattices are different. In each series, distribution constants for the equilibria were also determined. Where possible, the calculated activities of the salts or the Gibbs excess energies of the solid solutions were compared with values reported by others who determined them by other methods. All the salt pairs studied show slight or strong positive deviations from ideality.
