A Flexible Solid Composite Electrolyte with Vertically Aligned and Connected Ion-Conducting Nanoparticles for Lithium Batteries

Abstract

Replacing flammable organic liquid electrolytes with solid Li-ion conductors is a promising approach to realize safe rechargeable batteries with high energy density. Composite solid electrolytes, which are comprised of a polymer matrix with ceramic Li-ion conductors dispersed inside, are attractive, since they combine the flexibility of polymer electrolytes and high ionic conductivities of ceramic electrolytes. However, the high conductivity of ceramic fillers is largely compromised by the low conductivity of the matrix, especially when nanoparticles (NPs) are used. Therefore, optimizations of the geometry of ceramic fillers are critical to further enhance the conductivity of composite electrolytes. Here we report the vertically aligned and connected Li 1+ x Al x Ti 2– x (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP) NPs in the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix to maximize the ionic conduction, while maintaining the flexibility of the composite. This vertically aligned structure can be fabricated by an ice-templating-based method, and its conductivity reaches 0.52 × 10 –4 S/cm, which is 3.6 times that of the composite electrolyte with randomly dispersed LATP NPs. The composite electrolyte also shows enhanced thermal and electrochemical stability compared to the pure PEO electrolyte. This method opens a new approach to optimize ion conduction in composite solid electrolytes for next-generation rechargeable batteries.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
