Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Polymer Chemistry

Background:

  • Solid-state polymer lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) offer enhanced safety and energy density.
  • Uneven lithium deposition at solid-state electrolyte/lithium metal anode interfaces, particularly at low temperatures, hinders SSLMB performance.
  • Developing stable solid-state electrolytes is crucial for advancing battery technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and synthesize a novel agarose-based solid polymer electrolyte with a branched structure.
  • To investigate the effect of the star-structured polymer on lithium-ion transport and dendrite inhibition.
  • To evaluate the electrochemical performance of SSLMBs utilizing the developed electrolyte, especially under low-temperature conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of a star-structured polymer by grafting poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl-ether methacrylate and lithium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate onto tannic acid.
  • Characterization of the electrolyte's ionic conductivity and ion flux regulation capabilities.
  • Fabrication and electrochemical testing of solid-state LiFePO4||Li batteries using the novel electrolyte.

Main Results:

  • The star structure effectively regulated Li-ion flux, improving ionic conductivity and inhibiting lithium dendrite growth.
  • The developed electrolyte demonstrated omnidirectional Li-ion transportation, alleviating polarization.
  • Solid-state LiFePO4||Li batteries exhibited excellent cyclability (134 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.5C after 800 cycles) and high capacity retention at 0 °C (145 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.1C after 200 cycles).

Conclusions:

  • The agarose-based branched solid polymer electrolyte provides a promising strategy to overcome uneven lithium deposition issues in SSLMBs.
  • This approach facilitates uniform lithium-ion flux and dendrite suppression, leading to improved battery performance.
  • The developed electrolyte shows significant potential for long-life, low-temperature solid-state lithium metal batteries.
