Abstract
Composite polymer-ceramic electrolytes (CPEs) are emerging as viable substitute providing high ionic conductivity, mechanical stability, and good safety for the progress of all-solid-state rechargeable batteries. Here, SiO2 particles were generated from beach sands via a simple gelation method and embedded in to poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) to obtain precisely two types of the electrolytes namely, electrospun and solution casted. The 2.5 wt.% SiO2-embedded CPEs generated by electrospinning and solution-casting exhibit best ionic conductivities being 3.6 × 10–4 and 1.3 × 10–4 S cm-1 at 30 °C, respectively. The polarization voltage for the electrospun CPE was particularly low and showed an extremely stable voltage plateau up to 300 h demonstrating high electrochemical compatibility and immense cycling stability. Consequently, the all solid-state lithium metal battery (Li|CPE|LiFePO4) using the electrospun CPE initially exhibits a discharge capacity of 142 mAh g-1 at 0.1C-rate superior to that of the full cell using the solution-casted CPE.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
