Compared with the fagile ceramic solid electrolyte, Li-ion conducting polymer electrolytes are flexible and have better contact with electrodes. However, the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes is usually limited because of the slow segment motion of the polymer. In this work, we introduce porous Co3O4 cuboids to Poly (Ethylene Oxide)-based electrolyte (PEO) to investigate the influence of these cuboids on the ionic conductivity of the composite electrolyte and the performance of the all-solid-state batteries. The experiment results showed the porous cuboid Co3O4 fillers not only break the order motion of segments of the polymer to increase the amorphous phase amount, but also build Li+ continuous migration pathway along the Co3O4 surface by the Lewis acid-base interaction. The Li+ conductivity of the composite polymer electrolyte reaches 1.6 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 30°C. The good compatibility of the composite polymer electrolyte to Li metal anode and LiFePO4 cathode ensures good rate performance and long cycle life when applying in an all-solid-state LiFePO4 battery. This strategy points out the direction for developing the high-conducting composite polymer electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries.

Composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer, potassium carbonate (K2CO3) salt, and silica (SiO2) filler was investigated and optimized in this study for improved ionic conductivity and potential window for use in electrochemical devices. Various quantities of SiO2 in wt.% were incorporated into PVA-K2CO3 complex to prepare the CPEs. To study the effect of SiO2 on PVA-K2CO3 composites, the developed electrolytes were characterized for their chemical structure (FTIR), morphology (FESEM), thermal stabilities (TGA), glass transition temperature (differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)), ionic conductivity using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potential window using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). Physicochemical characterization results based on thermal and structural analysis indicated that the addition of SiO2 enhanced the amorphous region of the PVA-K2CO3 composites which enhanced the dissociation of the K2CO3 salt into K+ and CO32− and thus resulting in an increase of the ionic conduction of the electrolyte. An optimum ionic conductivity of 3.25 × 10−4 and 7.86 × 10−3 mScm−1 at ambient temperature and at 373.15 K, respectively, at a potential window of 3.35 V was observed at a composition of 15 wt.% SiO2. From FESEM micrographs, the white granules and aggregate seen on the surface of the samples confirm that SiO2 particles have been successfully dispersed into the PVA-K2CO3 matrix. The observed ionic conductivity increased linearly with increase in temperature confirming the electrolyte as temperature-dependent. Based on the observed performance, it can be concluded that the CPEs based on PVA-K2CO3-SiO2 composites could serve as promising candidate for portable and flexible next generation energy storage devices.
