Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Polymer Chemistry

Background:

  • Conventional poly(ethylene oxide)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) suffer from poor ionic conductivity and narrow electrochemical stability, limiting their use in high-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs).
  • Developing solid polymer electrolytes with enhanced mechanical properties and electrochemical performance is crucial for safe and flexible solid-state LMBs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and synthesize a self-healing solid polymer electrolyte (SHSPE) based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) for advanced lithium metal batteries.
  • To investigate the self-healing capabilities, mechanical properties, ionic conductivity, and electrochemical stability of the newly developed SHSPE.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of a PEO-based SHSPE utilizing dynamically cross-linked imine bonds.
  • Characterization of mechanical properties, including extensibility and stress tolerance.
  • Measurement of ionic conductivity and electrochemical stable window (ESW).
  • Evaluation of electrochemical performance using Li||Li symmetrical cells and Li|SHSPE|LiFePO4 battery configurations.

Main Results:

  • The SHSPE demonstrated intrinsic self-healing ability and excellent mechanical properties (extensibility > 500%, stress >130 kPa).
  • Achieved ultrahigh ionic conductivity of 7.48 × 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ at 25 °C and a wide ESW of 5.0 V vs Li/Li⁺.
  • Li||Li symmetrical cells exhibited stable cycling for over 1200 hours at room temperature.
  • The Li|SHSPE|LiFePO4 cell retained a discharge capacity of 126.4 mAh g⁻¹ after 300 cycles.

Conclusions:

  • The developed PEO-based SHSPE with dynamic imine bonds offers a promising solution for safe and flexible solid-state lithium metal batteries.
  • The material's self-healing property, high conductivity, and electrochemical stability pave the way for next-generation high-energy-density batteries.
