Highly electrochemical stable quaternary solid polymer electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries

Abstract Details

2018, Master of Science, University of Akron, Polymer Science.
Lithium metal batteries are regarded as promising electrochemical energy storage solutions due to their high energy densities. However, the safety issues including lithium dendrite formation impede their practical uses. In this thesis, solid polymer electrolytes based on polyethylene glycol diacrylate and additional acrylate comonomer plasticized by an organic plasticizer (succinonitrile) were studied. The lithium stripping/plating experiments indicated that the polymer electrolyte can suppress the dendrite formation under current density from 0.05 mA/cm2 to 0.5 mA/cm2. With a high room temperature conductivity of 7.8x10-4 S/cm and an wide electrochemical window of 0-5.0 V (vs. Li+/Li), the solid polymer electrolyte was used to fabricate all-solid-state lithium batteries with NCA cathode and operated at cut-off voltage of 4.3 V and current density of 0.5 C (1 C= 180 mA/g). The solid-state battery exhibited capacity retention of 47.6 % after 450 cycles with an average coulombic efficiency of 99.80 %, indicating the long-term stability of the polymer electrolyte.
