Batteries and Fuel Cells

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Background:

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are crucial for developing high-energy and high-safety solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs).
Achieving stable and fast-charging high-voltage LMBs requires electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, good Li+ transference, and wide electrochemical windows.
Traditional SPEs often face challenges in balancing these properties for demanding battery applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and synthesize a novel polycationic solid electrolyte (PCSE) for advanced solid-state lithium metal batteries.
To leverage the unique properties of polycationic and fluorinated microdomains for enhanced electrolyte performance.
To demonstrate the efficacy of the PCSE in enabling stable and fast-charging high-voltage LMBs.

Main Methods:

Development of a polycationic solid electrolyte (PCSE) incorporating a fluorinated microdomain.
Utilizing the anion trapping (FMAT) effect for localized solvation and restricted anion mobility.
In situ thermal polymerization of the electrolyte within assembled Li|LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cells.

Main Results:

The PCSE achieved a high ionic conductivity of 1.4 mS cm-1 and a Li+ transference number of 0.50.
A wide electrochemical window of approximately 5.5 V was observed at 25 °C.
Li|LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cells demonstrated ultra-stable cycling with 98.1% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 0.2 C.

Conclusions:

The developed PCSE offers a promising strategy for creating stable and high-performance solid-state lithium metal batteries.
The molecular design, combining polycationic stability with fluorinated anion trapping, addresses key challenges in SPE development.
This approach paves the way for next-generation high-energy, long-life, ambient-temperature solid-state LMBs.
