Lithium metal anodes have been pursued for decades as a way to significantly increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. However, safety risks caused by flammable liquid electrolytes and short circuits due to lithium dendrite formation during cell cycling have so far prevented the use of lithium metal in commercial batteries. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) offer a potential solution if their mechanical properties and ionic conductivity can be simultaneously engineered. Here, we introduce a family of SPEs that are scalable and easy to prepare with a photopolymerization process, synthesized from amphiphilic acrylic polymer conetworks based on poly(ethylene glycol), 2-hydroxy-ethylacrylate, norbornyl acrylate, and either lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) or a single-ion polymethacrylate as lithium-ion source. Several conetworks were synthesized and cycled, and their ionic conductivity, mechanical properties, and lithium transference number were characterized. A single-ion-conducting polymer electrolyte shows the best compromise between the different properties and extends the calendar life of the cell.

AbstractThe ionic conductivity of ammonium-based solid polymer films of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) blended with MG49, a graft of natural rubber and poly(methyl methacrylate), with various compositions of ammonium triflate NH4CF3SO3, was investigated. As a result, 30 wt.% of NH4CF3SO3-doped polymer electrolyte exhibits the highest ionic conductivity at 6.32×10-4 S/cm at room temperature. The conductivity enhancement can be attributed to the increase in the number of NH4+ as charge carriers. The significance of the blend is the increase of one order in ionic conductivity as compared with pure PVDF electrolyte. The temperature dependence of conductivity of the electrolyte does not obey the Arrhenius law. However, the conductivity increases with temperature and it reached 1.56×10-3 S/cm at 363 K. X-ray diffraction reveals a decrease in crystallinity of the electrolyte upon the addition of NH4CF3SO3 salt. This result is supported by scanning electron microscopy. Linear sweep voltammetry demonstrates that the anodic stability of the electrolyte is up to 4 V. Therefore, the electrolyte shows good compatibility with high-voltage electrode. Hence, this electrolyte system can be a prospective candidate as lithium-ion conducting electrolyte for lithium batteries.

Today, the battery is the most practical and in expensive energy storage device in a modern community. A variety of new materials technologies has been developed in the manufacture of the battery, especially the development of the solid electrolyte (solid). Polymer Electrolytes can be found in the polymer batteries form such as lithium ion polymer battery. A natural polymer such as chitosan is potential as polymer electrolyte membrane for battery applications. The chitosan has amino and hydroxyl groups that allow for modification. The modification of chitosan membrane is expected to produce the better membranes characters. The aim of this research is to study the effect of the addition of inorganic filler kaolin on the conductivity of the polymer electrolyte that made of chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol than was added to the lithium salt. The ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol-lithium-kaolin was measured by using an impedance spectroscopy. The measurement results showed that the polymer electrolyte chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol-lithium with the addition of 4% kaolin provide the highest ionic conductivity is large 6.551x10-5 S/cm. In comparison, characteristics of batteries that made from polymer electrolyte chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol-lithium with the addition of kaolin have a voltage of 2.4 volts which have similarities to the commercial batteries. This result indicates that the kaolin can be used as a filler to increase the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol-lithium, and then it can be developed as a battery.

Solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) appropriate to solve packaging leakage and expansion volume in lithium-ion battery systems. Evaluation of electrochemical performance of SPE consisted of mixture lithium salt, solid plasticizer, and polymer precursor with different ratio. Impedance spectroscopy was used to investigate ionic conduction and dielectric response lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfony imide (LiTFSI) salt, and additive succinonitrile (SCN) plasticizer. The result showing enhanced high ionic conductivity. In half-cell configurations, wide electrochemical stability window of the SPE has been tested. Have stability window at room temperature, indicating great potential of SPE for application in lithium ion batteries. Additive SCN contribute to forming pores that make it easier for the li ion to move from the anode to the cathode and vice versa for better perform SPE. Pore of SPE has been charaterization with FE-SEM. Additive 5% w.t SCN shows the best ionic conductivity with 4.2 volt wide stability window and pretty much invisible pores.

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.
