The paper considers various methods of conformal coating the three-dimensional structure of Ni foam with polymers as electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polyethylene oxide (PEO) were chosen as polymer electrolytes because of their good ionic conductivity and mechanical stability. Conformal coating was performed using two methods: drop coating, dip coating. The polymer-coated three-dimensional Ni foams were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) to determine the more conformal coating method and testing the ionic conductivity of polymers. From this research, it could be concluded that the dip coating method allows a more conformal coating of the three-dimensional Ni foam structure and the polymers obtained by this method have a good value of ionic conductivity.

AbstractPolyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have important significance for the development of next-generation rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. However, strong coordination between lithium ions and PEO chains results the ion conductivity usually lower than the expectation. In this study, sub-micron montmorillonite is incorporated into the PEO frames as Lewis base center which enables the lithium ions to escape the restraint of PEO chains. After involving montmorillonite (MMT) into the SPEs, the ionic conductivity of SPEs is 4.7 mS cm− 1 at 70 °C which shows a comparable value with that of liquid electrolyte. As coupling with LiFePO4 material, the battery delivers a high discharge capacity of 150.3 mAh g− 1 and an excellent rate performance with a capacity of 111.8 mAh g− 1 at 0.16 C and maintains 58.2 mAh g− 1 at 0.8 C. This study suggests that the customized incorporation of Lewis base materials could offer a promising solution for achieving high-performance PEO-based solid-state electrolyte.

Commercial separators (polyolefin separators) for lithium-ion batteries still have defects such as low thermostability and inferior interface compatibility, which result in serious potential safety distress and poor electrochemical performance. Zeolite/Polyacrylonitrile (Z/PAN) composite separators have been fabricated by electrospinning a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane and then dip-coating it with zeolite (ZSM-5). Different from commercial separators, the Z/PAN composite separators exhibit high electrolyte uptake, excellent ionic conductivity, and prominent thermal stability. Specifically, the Z/PAN-1.5 separator exhibits the best performance, with a high electrolyte uptake of 308.1% and an excellent ionic conductivity of 2.158 mS·cm−1. The Z/PAN-1.5 separator may mechanically shrink less than 10% when held at 180 °C for 30 min, proving good thermal stability. Compared with the pristine PAN separator, the Li/separator/LiFePO4 cells with the Z/PAN-1.5 composite separator have excellent high-rate discharge capacity (102.2 mAh·g−1 at 7 C) and favorable cycling performance (144.9 mAh·g−1 at 0.5 C after 100 cycles). Obviously, the Z/PAN-1.5 separator holds great promise in furthering the safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries.

Integrated SnO2 electrode with hierarchical nanosheets array structure growing on three-dimensional (3D) macroporous Ni foam substrates is successfully prepared via a facile and effective template-free route. The self-supported integrated electrode can be directly used as anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) without adding any ancillary materials. As a result, such integrated electrode exhibits superior electrochemical performances. It maintains a high reversible discharge capacity of 1617.8[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] and a high cycling stability of 829.2[Formula: see text]mAh[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text] even after 500 cycles. The unique structural features with large areas, shorter transport path of ion and electron as well as robust mechanical strength are probably responsible for the enhanced performance.
