Imperfections in Crystal Structure: Stoichiometric Point Defects

Schottky defects arise when some lattice points in a crystal, such as those in NaCl, remain unoccupied, creating lattice vacancies without disturbing the overall electrical neutrality of the crystal. This defect is common in ionic crystals where the positive and negative ions are similar in size, as seen in sodium chloride and cesium chloride. The presence of Schottky defects enables the crystal to conduct electricity to a small extent through an ionic mechanism. Electric fields cause nearby...

Defective, fluorine-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) electrolytes show enhanced ionic conductivity and stability. This improves lithium-ion battery performance, especially at low temperatures, by inhibiting dendrite growth.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Solid-state Chemistry

Background:

  • Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer potential as solid electrolytes but suffer from low ionic conductivity and interfacial instability.
  • Microporous membrane electrolytes based on MOFs face limitations in practical applications due to poor electrochemical performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize fluorine-functionalized UiO-66 electrolytes with controlled defect structures.
  • To investigate the impact of fluorination and defects on the electrochemical properties of MOF-based electrolytes.
  • To evaluate the performance of these modified electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries.

Main Methods:

  • Postmodification strategy of ligand exchange to introduce fluorine and create defects in UiO-66.

    • HP5:5-UiO-66-F4 demonstrated significantly improved ionic conductivity (2.67 × 10-3 S cm-1), lithium-ion transference number (0.88), and electrochemical window (5.24 V) at room temperature.
    • Excellent low-temperature performance was maintained, with conductivity of 2.57 × 10-4 S cm-1 at -40 °C.
    • The modified electrolyte enabled stable cycling of a Li|HP5:5-UiO-66-F4|Li battery for 760 hours, suppressing lithium dendrite growth.
    • Fluorination promoted the formation of a stable LiF solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).

    Conclusions:

    • Synergistic modification of MOFs with fluorine and defects is an effective strategy to enhance electrochemical performance.
    • The developed HP5:5-UiO-66-F4 electrolyte shows promise for advanced lithium-ion battery applications.
    • This approach offers a new pathway for designing high-performance microporous membrane electrolytes.
