AbstractSolid-state sodium ion batteries are frequently referred to as the most promising technology for next-generation energy storage applications. However, developing a suitable solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity, excellent electrolyte–electrode interfaces, and a wide electrochemical stability window, remains a major challenge. Although solid-polymer electrolytes have attracted great interest due to their low cost, low density and very good processability, they generally have significantly lower ionic conductivity and poor mechanical strength. Here, we report on the development of a low-cost composite solid polymer electrolyte comprised of poly(ethylene oxide), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and sodium hexafluorophosphate, mixed with indium arsenide nanowires. We show that the addition of 1.0% by weight of indium arsenide nanowires increases the sodium ion conductivity in the polymer to 1.50 × 10−4 Scm−1 at 40 °C. In order to explain this remarkable characteristic, we propose a new transport model in which sodium ions hop between close-spaced defect sites present on the surface of the nanowires, forming an effective complex conductive percolation network. Our work represents a significant advance in the development of novel solid polymer electrolytes with embedded engineered ultrafast 1D percolation networks for near-future generations of low-cost, high-performance batteries with excellent energy storage capabilities.

This is the highest reported conductivity for any solid polymer electrolyte to date.

The present work consists of a series of studies with regard to the structure and charge transport in solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) prepared using various new bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI)-based dianionic dilithium salts in crosslinked low-molecular-weight poly(ethylene glycol). Some of the thermal properties (glass transition temperature, differential molar heat capacity) and ionic conductivities were determined for both diluted (EO/Li = 30:1) and concentrated (EO/Li = 10:1) SPEs. Trends in ionic conductivity of the new SPEs with respect to anion structure revealed that while for the dilute electrolytes ionic conductivity is generally rising with increased length of the perfluoroalkylene linking group in the dianions, for the concentrated electrolytes the trend is reversed with respect to dianion length. This behavior could be the result of a combination of two factors: on one hand a decrease in dianion basicity that results in diminished ion pairing and an enhancement in the number of charge carriers with increasing fluorine anion content, thereby increasing ionic conductivity while on the other hand the increasing anion size and concentration produce an increase in the friction/entanglements of the polymeric segments which lowers even more the reduced segmental motion of the crosslinked polymer and decrease the dianion contribution to the overall ionic conductivity. DFT modeling of the same TFSI-based dianionic dilithium salts reveals that the reason for the trend observed is due to the variation in ion dissociation enthalpy, derived from minimum-energy structures, with respect to perfluoroalkylene chain length.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are the best choice to replace liquid electrolytes in supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar cells and batteries. The main challenge in this filed is the ionic conductivity and thermal stability of SPEs which is still not up to mark, therefore more investigations are needed to address these issues. In this study, PVA/salt based SPEs was fabricated using both solution cast and electro-spinning methods to probe the effect of different salts such as (NaCl, KCl and KI) and their concentrations on the ionic conductivity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) x and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) have been employed to study the morphology as well as the different functional groups of SPEs, respectively. It was noted that small addition of NaCl, KCl and KI salts in SPEs dramatically increased the ionic conductivity to 5.95×10−6, 5.31×10−6 and 4.83×10−6 S/cm, respectively. Importantly, the SPEs obtained with NaCl via electro-spinning have higher ionic conductivity (5.95×10−6 S/cm) than their casted SPEs (1.87×10−6 S/cm). Thermal stability was also studied at two different temperatures i.e. 80 °C and 100 °C. The weight loss percentage of electrospun SPEs have zero percent weight loss than the solution based SPEs. The combined results clearly indicated that the nature of salt, concentration and fabrication process play a vital role in the ionic conductivity. Also, the NaCl salt with low molecular weight at low concentrations shows an enhanced ionic conductivity.

In the present work, the effect of Li salt i.e. LiClO4 contained in composite plasticizer (PC+DEC) with three different concentrations on ionic transport and other electrochemical properties of PMMA based gel polymer electrolytes synthesized has been investigated. The electrolytes have been synthesized by solution casting technique by varying the wt (%) of salt and plasticizer. The formation of polymer-salt complexes and their structural characterization have been carried out by FTIR spectroscopic and XRD analyses. The room temperature ionic conductivity of the electrolyte composition 0.6PMMA-0.125(PC+DEC)-0.15LiClO4 (wt %) has been found to be maximum whose magnitude is 0.40×10-5 S/cm as determined by ac impedance analysis. The temperature dependent ionic conductivity of electrolyte sample0.6PMMA-0.125(PC+DEC)-0.15LiClO4 has further been investigated. Thermal analyses of electrolyte samples of all three compositions have also been done.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) based carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) were prepared via solution drop-cast technique. The CMC host is complexed by different concentrations of LiClO4 salt. SPEs were characterized by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) in coin cells with lithium metal electrodes. EIS performed unique results based on various ionic conductivity values and dielectric properties. The higher ionic conductivity (1.32 × 10-5 S/cm) was obtained by SPEs 2 following by short-range ionic transport results based on dielectric properties depending on frequency. SPEs with LiClO4 addition are electrochemically stable over 2 V in lithium battery coin cells from LSV results.
