Overcoming the Obstacle of Polymer-Polymer Resistances in Double Layer Solid Polymer Electrolytes.

ABSTRACT: Double-layer solid polymer electrolytes (DLSPEs) comprising one layer that is stable toward lithium metal and one which is stable against a high-voltage cathode are commonly suggested as a promising strategy to achieve high-energy-density lithium batteries. Through in-depth EIS analysis, it is here concluded that the polymer-polymer interface is the primary contributor to electrolyte resistance in such DLSPEs consisting of polyether-, polyester-, or polycarbonate-bad SPEs. In comparison to the bulk ionic resistance, the polymer-polymer interface resistance is approximately 10-fold higher. Nevertheless, the interfacial resistance was successfully lowered by doubling the salt concentration from 25 to 50 wt % LiTFSI owing to improved miscibility at the interface of the two polymer layers.

An Approach to Solid-State Electrical Double Layer Capacitors Fabricated with Graphene Oxide-Doped, Ionic Liquid-Based Solid Copolymer Electrolytes.

Project description:Solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) composed of semi-crystalline poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) [P(VdF-HFP)] copolymer, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethyl sulphonyl) imide [EMI-BTI] and graphene oxide (GO) was prepared and its performance evaluated. The effects of GO nano-filler were investigated in terms of enhancement in ionic conductivity along with the electrochemical properties of its electrical double layer capacitors (EDLC). The GO-doped SPE shows improvement in ionic conductivity compared to the P(VdF-HFP)-[EMI-BTI] SPE system due to the existence of the abundant oxygen-containing functional group in GO that assists in the improvement of the ion mobility in the polymer matrix. The complexation of the materials in the SPE is confirmed in X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) studies. The electrochemical performance of EDLC fabricated with GO-doped SPE is examined using cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge techniques. The maximum specific capacitance obtained is 29.6 F∙g-1, which is observed at a scan rate of 3 mV/s in 6 wt % GO-doped, SPE-based EDLC. It also has excellent cyclic retention as it is able keep the performance of the EDLC at 94% even after 3000 cycles. These results suggest GO doped SPE plays a significant role in energy storage application.

Double-Layer Solid Composite Electrolytes Enabling Improved Room-Temperature Cycling Performance for High-Voltage Lithium Metal Batteries.

Project description:The development of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for high energy density lithium metal batteries (LMBs) usually needs to take into account of the interfacial compatibility against lithium metal and the electrolyte stability suitable for a high-potential cathode. In this study, through a facile two-step coating process, novel double-layer solid composite electrolytes (SCEs) with Janus characteristics are customized for the high-voltage LMBs with improved room-temperature cycling performance. Among which, high-voltage resistant poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is adopted here for the construction of an electrolyte layer facing the cathode, while the other layer against the lithium anode is composed of the polymer matrix of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blended with PVDF to obtain a lithium metal-friendly interface. With the further incorporation of Laponite clay, the PVDF/(PEO+PVDF)-L SCEs not only exhibit improved mechanical properties, but also achieve a highly increased ionic conductivity (5.2 × 10-4 S cm-1) and lithium ion migration number (0.471) at room temperature. The assembled NCM523|PVDF/(PEO+PVDF)-L SCEs|Li cells thus are able to deliver the initial discharge capacity of 153.9 mAh g-1 with 80.8% capacity retention after 200 cycles at 0.3 C. Such easily manufactured double-layer SCEs capable of operating steadily at room temperature provide a competitive electrolyte option for high-voltage solid-state LMBs.

Tetraarylborate polymer networks as single-ion conducting solid electrolytes.

Project description:A new family of solid polymer electrolytes based upon anionic tetrakis(phenyl)borate tetrahedral nodes and linear bis-alkyne linkers is reported. Sonogashira polymerizations using tetrakis(4-iodophenyl)borate, tetrakis(4-iodo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate and tetrakis(4-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)borate delivered highly cross-linked polymer networks with both 1,4-diethynylbeznene and a tri(ethylene glycol) substituted derivative. Promising initial conductivity metrics have been observed, including high room temperature conductivities (up to 2.7 × 10-4 S cm-1), moderate activation energies (0.25-0.28 eV), and high lithium ion transport numbers (up to tLi+ = 0.93). Initial investigations into the effects of important materials parameters such as bulk morphology, porosity, fluorination, and other chemical modification, provide starting design parameters for further development of this new class of solid electrolytes.

Direct Operando Observation of Double Layer Charging and Early Solid Electrolyte Interphase Formation in Li-Ion Battery Electrolytes.

Project description:The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is the most critical yet least understood component to guarantee stable and safe operation of a Li-ion cell. Herein, the early stages of SEI formation in a typical LiPF6 and organic carbonate-based Li-ion electrolyte are explored by operando surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, on-line electrochemical mass spectrometry, and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance. The electric double layer is directly observed to charge as Li+ solvated by ethylene carbonate (EC) progressively accumulates at the negatively charged electrode surface. Further negative polarization triggers SEI formation, as evidenced by H2 evolution and electrode mass deposition. Electrolyte impurities, HF and H2O, are reduced early and contribute in a multistep (electro)chemical process to an inorganic SEI layer rich in LiF and Li2CO3. This study is a model example of how a combination of highly surface-sensitive operando characterization techniques offers a step forward to understand interfacial phenomena in Li-ion batteries.

Designing the Interface Layer of Solid Electrolytes for All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries.

Project description:Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) is one of the most attractive solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for application in all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) due to its advantages of high ionic conductivity, air stability and low cost. However, the poor interfacial contact and slow Li-ion migration have greatly limited its practical application. Herein, a composite ion-conducting layer is designed at the Li/LATP interface, which a MoS2 film is constructed on LATP via chemical vapor deposition, followed by the introduction of a solid polymer (SP) liquid precursor to form a MoS2@SP protective layer. This protective layer not only achieves a lower Li-ion migration energy barrier, but also adsorbs more Li-ion, which is able to promote interfacial ion transport and improve interfacial contacts. Thanks to the improved migration and adsorption of Li-ion, the Li symmetric cell containing LATP-MoS2@SP exhibits a stable cycle of more than 1200 h at 0.1 mA cm-2. More remarkably, the capacity retention of the full cell assembled with LiFePO4 cathode is as high as 86.2% after 400 cycles at 1 C. This work provides a design strategy for significantly improving unstable interfaces of SSEs and realizing high-performance ASSLBs.

Enhanced Electrochemical Performance of Hybrid Solid Polymer Electrolytes Encompassing Viologen for All-Solid-State Lithium Polymer Batteries.

Project description:Hybrid solid polymer electrolytes (HSPE) comprising poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), LiTFSI, barium titanate (BaTiO3), and viologen are prepared by a facile hot press. The physical properties of the HSPE membranes are studied by using small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and tensile strength. The prepared hybrid solid polymer electrolytes are also investigated by means of ionic conductivity and transport number measurements. The employed analyses collectively reveal that each additive in the PEO host contributes to a specific property: LiTFSI is essential in providing ionic species, while BaTiO3 and viologen enhance the thermal stability, ionic conductivity, and transport number. The enhanced value in the Li+-transport number of HSPE are presumably attributed to the electrostatic attraction of TFSI anions and the positive charges of viologen. Synergistically, the added BaTiO3 and viologen improve the electrochemical properties of HSPE for the applications in all-solid-state-lithium polymer batteries.

Solid polymer electrolytes reinforced with porous polypropylene separators for all-solid-state supercapacitors.

Project description:Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) encounter the challenge of balancing high ionic conductivity and mechanical strength. Ionic liquids, which are among the contenders to be used in high-performance supercapacitors, have difficulty infiltrating commercial polyolefin separators for combined applications. In this study, a novel SPE involving uniform infiltration in the micropores of commercial polyolefin separators with polyethylene oxide (PEO), lithium salt, and different proportions of added ionic liquid was developed. The composite membranes combining ionic liquid-filled SPE with polypropylene (PP) microporous separators simultaneously achieve excellent mechanical strength and high-ionic conductivity. The low wettability of pure ionic liquids and commercial polyolefin-based separators is addressed. The 70 wt% IL-filled solid electrolyte composite membrane (PLI(70)@PP) exhibits a high ionic conductivity (2.9 × 10-3 S cm-1), low resistance at the electrolyte-electrode interface and excellent mechanical strength (128 MPa) at 25 °C. The all-solid-state supercapacitor using PLI(70)@PP exhibits a specific capacitance of 158 F g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and stable cycle performance. The proposed method can be performed via high-volume roll-to-roll processing to obtain high-performance all-solid-state supercapacitors (ASSCs) for engineering applications.

Solid-state polymer-particle hybrid electrolytes: Structure and electrochemical properties.

Project description:Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are challenged by complex interfacial chemistry and poor ion transport through the interfaces they form with battery electrodes. Here, we investigate a class of SSE composed of micrometer-sized lithium oxide (Li2O) particles dispersed in a polymerizable 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) liquid. Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of the DOL by Lewis acid salts inside a battery cell produces polymer-inorganic hybrid electrolytes with gradient properties on both the particle and battery cell length scales. These electrolytes sustain stable charge-discharge behavior in Li||NCM811 and anode-free Cu||NCM811 electrochemical cells. On the particle length scale, Li2O retards ROP, facilitating efficient ion transport in a fluid-like region near the particle surface. On battery cell length scales, gravity-assisted settling creates physical and electrochemical gradients in the hybrid electrolytes. By means of electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses, we find that Li2O particles participate in a reversible redox reaction that increases the effective CE in anode-free cells to values approaching 100%, enhancing battery cycle life.

Solid-state polymer electrolytes for high-performance lithium metal batteries.

Project description:Electrochemical cells based on alkali metal anodes are receiving intensive scientific interest as potentially transformative technology platforms for electrical energy storage. Chemical, morphological, mechanical and hydrodynamic instabilities at the metal anode produce uneven metal electrodeposition and poor anode reversibility, which, are among the many known challenges that limit progress. Here, we report that solid-state electrolytes based on crosslinked polymer networks can address all of these challenges in cells based on lithium metal anodes. By means of transport and electrochemical analyses, we show that manipulating thermodynamic interactions between polymer segments covalently anchored in the network and "free" segments belonging to an oligomeric electrolyte hosted in the network pores, one can facilely create hybrid electrolytes that simultaneously exhibit liquid-like barriers to ion transport and solid-like resistance to morphological and hydrodynamic instability.

Effects of Weak Electrolytes on Electric Double Layer Ion Distributions.

Project description:Many common experimental systems have electric double layers containing weak electrolytes, including systems with buffers. The pH at the boundary of the diffuse layer is an important parameter for determining the physicochemical state of the system, including surface charge density. We show that the Boltzmann equilibrium relation can be used as an exact solution for weak electrolyte electric double layers. Using these results, we provide a closed-form relation for the maximum pH change in a buffered electric double layer, in terms of the boundary potential. Importantly, our results suggest that equilibrium electric double layer concepts developed for strong electrolytes can be expanded to include weak electrolytes.
