Abstract
Sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes are promising materials for high-performance safe solid-state batteries. The high ion conductivity, mechanical characteristics, and good processability of sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes are desirable properties for realizing high-performance safe solid-state batteries by replacing conventional liquid electrolytes. However, the low chemical and electrochemical stability of sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes hinder the commercialization of sulfide-based safe solid-state batteries. Particularly, the instability of sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes is intensified in the cathode, comprising various materials. In this study, carbonate-based ionic conductive polymers are introduced to the cathode to protect cathode materials and suppress the reactivity of sulfide electrolytes. Several instruments, including electrochemical spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, confirm the chemical and electrochemical stability of the polymer electrolytes in contact with sulfide-based inorganic solid electrolytes. Sulfide-based solid-state cells show stable electrochemical performance over 100 cycles when the ionic conductive polymers were applied to the cathode.
期刊介绍:
Energy & Environmental Materials (EEM) is an international journal published by Zhengzhou University in collaboration with John Wiley & Sons, Inc. The journal aims to publish high quality research related to materials for energy harvesting, conversion, storage, and transport, as well as for creating a cleaner environment. EEM welcomes research work of significant general interest that has a high impact on society-relevant technological advances. The scope of the journal is intentionally broad, recognizing the complexity of issues and challenges related to energy and environmental materials. Therefore, interdisciplinary work across basic science and engineering disciplines is particularly encouraged. The areas covered by the journal include, but are not limited to, materials and composites for photovoltaics and photoelectrochemistry, bioprocessing, batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, clean air, and devices with multifunctionality. The readership of the journal includes chemical, physical, biological, materials, and environmental scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and policy-making.
