Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are crucial for energy storage but often lack monitoring capabilities and degradability.
  • Existing thermosetting SPEs face limitations in direct physical and chemical change observation and environmental persistence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer self-reporting and biodegradable thermosetting SPEs using hyperbranched poly(β-amino ester)s (HPAE-SPEs).
  • To overcome limitations predicted by Flory theory in developing advanced SPE materials.
  • To enable direct monitoring of physical and chemical changes in SPEs.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of HPAE via an "A2+B4" Michael addition strategy.
  • In situ crosslinking of HPAE to form HPAE-SPEs.
  • Characterization of luminescence, degradation, and electrochemical performance.

Main Results:

  • HPAE-SPEs exhibit multicolour luminescence for damage monitoring due to tertiary aliphatic amines.
  • The SPEs are rapidly hydrolysed into non-hazardous β-amino acids and polyols via self-catalysis.
  • Optimized HPAE-SPE shows ionic conductivity of 1.3×10⁻⁴ S/cm at 60°C, a Na⁺ transference number of 0.67, stable sodium plating-stripping, and low overpotential (≈190 mV).

Conclusions:

  • A new paradigm for developing SPEs through multifunctional polymer engineering is established.
  • The self-reporting and biodegradable properties of HPAE-SPEs significantly expand their application scope.
  • This work addresses key challenges in SPE development, including monitoring and sustainability.
