A novel PEO-based composite solid-state polymer electrolyte with methyl group-functionalized SBA-15 filler for rechargeable lithium batteries

Functionalized molecular sieve SBA-15 with trimethylchlorosilane was used as an inorganic filler in a poly(ethyleneoxide) (PEO) polymer matrix to synthesize a composite solid-state polymer electrolyte (CSPE) using LiClO₄ as the doping salts, which is designated to be used for rechargeable lithium batteries. The methyl group-functionalized SBA-15 (^fSBA-15) powder possesses more hydrophobic characters than SBA-15, which improves the miscibility between the ^fSBA-15 filler and the PEO matrix. The interaction between the ^fSBA-15 and PEO polymer matrix was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. Linear sweep voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to study the electrochemical stability windows, ionic conductivity, and interfacial stability of the CSPE. The temperature dependence of the change of the PEO polymer matrix in the CSPE from crystallization to amorphous phase was surveyed, for the first time, at different temperature by Fourier transform infrared emission spectroscopy. It has demonstrated that the addition of the ^fSBA-15 filler has improved significantly the electrochemical compatibility of the CSPE with a lithium metal electrode and enhanced effectively the ion conductivity of the CSPE.

The characteristic properties of the composite polymer membranes were examined by using FTIR spectroscopies, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and an AC impedance method. For comparison, the LiFePO₄/Li composite batteries with a conventional microporous polyethylene (PE) separator and pure P(VDF-HFP) polymer membrane were also prepared and studied.

Composite gel membranes: a new class of improved polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries

Novel composite, gel-type polymer electrolytes have been prepared by dispersing selected ceramic powders into a matrix formed by a lithium salt solution contained in a poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) network. The electrochemical characterization demonstrates that these new types of composite gel electrolytes have high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical stability and, particularly, high chemical integrity (no liquid leakage) even at temperatures above ambient. These unique properties make the composite gel membranes particularly suitable as electrolyte separators in lithium ion polymer batteries.     

Electrodeposition and stripping of zinc from an ionic liquid polymer gel electrolyte for rechargeable zinc-based batteries

In this paper, we report on zinc deposition and stripping in an ionic liquid polymer gel electrolyte on gold and copper substrates, respectively. The ionic liquid-based polymer gel electrolyte is prepared by combining the ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethylsulfonate ([Py_1,4]TfO), with Zn(TfO)₂ and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP). The ionic liquid polymer gel electrolyte exhibits good conductivity (2.2 mS cm^?1) and good mechanical stability. Zinc deposition and stripping in the ionic liquid polymer gel electrolyte were studied by cyclic voltammetry, potentiostatic, and galvanostatic cycling (charging/discharging) experiments. The gel electrolyte exhibits a promising electrochemical stability and allows a quasi-reversible zinc deposition/stripping. The morphology of the zinc deposits after 10 cycles of zinc deposition/stripping is compact and dense, and deposits without any dendrite formation can be obtained. The quasi-reversibility of the electrochemical deposition/stripping of zinc in this ionic liquid polymer gel electrolyte is of interest for rechargeable zinc-based batteries.     

Cross-linking copolymers of acrylates’ gel electrolytes with high conductivity for lithium-ion batteries

The cross-linking gel copolymer electrolytes containing alkyl acrylates, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and liquid electrolyte were prepared by in situ thermal polymerization. The gel polymer electrolytes containing 15 wt% polymer content and 85 wt% liquid electrolyte content with sufficient mechanical strength showed the high ionic conductivity around 5?×?10^?3 Scm^?1 at room temperature. The gel electrolytes containing different polymer matrices were prepared, and their physical observation and conductivity were discussed carefully. The cross-linking copolymer gel electrolytes of alkyl acrylates with other monomers were designed and synthesized. The results showed that copolymerization can improve the mechanical properties and ionic conductivities of the gel electrolytes. The polymer matrices of gels had excellent thermal stability and electrochemical stability. The scanning electron microscope analysis showed the gel electrolyte was the homogeneous structure, and the cross-linking polymer host was the porous three-dimensional network structure, which demonstrated the high conductivity of the gel electrolytes. The gel polymer Li-ion battery was prepared by this in situ thermal polymerization. The cell exhibited high charge-discharge efficiency at 0.1 C. The results of LiFePO4-PEA-Li cell and graphite-PEA-Li cell showed that gel polymer electrolytes have good compatibility with the battery electrodes materials.     

A composite microporous gel polymer electrolyte prepared by ultra-violet cross-linking

A new type of composite microporous gel polymer electrolyte was prepared by directly coating the hydrolyzed prepolymers onto PVdF microporous membrane, and then polymerizing and cross-linking with ultra-violet (UV). Their chemical, thermal, surface microscopic configuration, swelling ability and electrochemical properties have been investigated for various prepolymer’s solution concentrations. The swelling ability and ionic conductivity of the membrane supporting hybrid gel electrolyte (MSHGE) could reach an extreme point at 0.15 g/ml of the prepolymer’s solution. It is thought that their performance can be affected by the surface microscopic configuration and the quality of coated copolymer. The Arrhenius-type relationship was observed in the temperature dependence of ionic conductivity. The ionic conductivity of MSHGE (PVdF-15) at room temperature can reach 6.18 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹, and its electrochemical stability window is about 4.9 V.     

Improving the performance of all-solid-state supercapacitors by modifying ionic liquid gel electrolytes with graphene nanosheets prepared by arc-discharge

Ionic liquid gel polymers have widely been used as the electrolytes in all-solid-state supercapacitors, but they suffer from low ionic conductivity and poor electrochemical performance. Arc discharge is a fast, low-cost and scalable method to prepare multi-layered graphene nanosheets, and as-made graphene nanosheets （denoted as ad-GNSs） with few defects, high electrical conductivity and high thermal stability should be favorable conductive additive materials. Here, a novel ionic liquid gel polymer electrolyte based on an ionic liquid （EM1MNTF2） and an copolymer （P（VDF-HFP）） was modified by the addition of ad-GNSs as an ionic conducting promoter. This modified gel electrolyte shows excellent thermal stability up to 400 ℃ and a wide electrochemical window of 3 V. An all-solid-state supercapacitor based on commercial activated carbon was fabricated using this modified ionic liquid gel polymer electrolyte, which shows obviously improved electrochemical behaviors compared with those of the corresponding all-solid-state supercapacitor using pure ionic liquid gel polymer electrolyte. Specially, smaller internal resistance, higher specific capacitance, better rate performance and cycling stability are achieved. These results indicate that the ionic liquid gel polymers modified by ad-GNSs would be promising and suitable gel electrolytes for high performance all-solid-state electrochemical devices.

Properties of composite solid polymer electrolyte using hyperbranched polymer with ether-linkage

The cross-linked composite solid polymer electrolytes composed of poly(ethylene oxide), lithium salt (LiN(SO₂CF₃)₂), and a hyperbranched polymer whose repeating units were connected by ether-linkage (hyperbranched polymer (HBP)-2) were prepared, and their ionic conductivity, thermal properties, electrochemical stability, mechanical property, and chemical stability were investigated in comparison with the non-cross-linked or cross-linked composite solid polymer electrolytes using hyperbranched polymers whose repeating units were connected by ester-linkage (HBP-1a, 1b). The cross-linked composite solid polymer electrolyte using HBP-2 exhibited higher ionic conductivity than the non-cross-linked and cross-linked composite solid polymer electrolytes using HBP-1a and HBP-1b, respectively. The structure of the hyperbranched polymer did not have a significant effect on the thermal properties and electrochemical stability of the composite solid polymer electrolytes. The tensile strength of the cross-linked composite solid polymer electrolyte using HBP-2 was lower than that of the cross-linked composite solid polymer electrolyte using HBP-1b, but higher than that of the non-cross-linked composite solid polymer electrolyte using HBP-1a. The HBP-2 with ether-linkage showed higher chemical stability against alkaline hydrolysis compared with HBP-1a with ester-linkage.
