ABSTRACTWe have demonstrated that PEO-based polymer electrolytes prepared by solvent-free procedures and with the addition of particle-size ceramic powder have very stable lithium interface properties—a very important feature for the development of successful lithium metal polymer batteries (LPBs). The results of cyclability tests at different charge-discharge rates carried out on prototypes of LPBs assembled with the dry prepared PEO20-LiCF3SO3-20%w/w λLiAlO2 composite electrolyte and with a composite cathode based on LiMn204 spinel operating at 3V are reported and discussed.

Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) incorporate the advantages of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs), which have shown huge potential in the application of safe lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). Effectively avoiding the agglomeration of inorganic fillers in the polymer matrix during the organic–inorganic mixing process is very important for the properties of the composite electrolyte. Herein, a partial cross-linked PEO-based CPE was prepared by porous vinyl-functionalized silicon (p-V-SiO2) nanoparticles as fillers and poly (ethylene glycol diacrylate) (PEGDA) as cross-linkers. By combining the mechanical rigidity of ceramic fillers and the flexibility of PEO, the as-made electrolyte membranes had excellent mechanical properties. The big special surface area and pore volume of nanoparticles inhibited PEO recrystallization and promoted the dissolution of lithium salt. Chemical bonding improved the interfacial compatibility between organic and inorganic materials and facilitated the homogenization of lithium-ion flow. As a result, the symmetric Li|CPE|Li cells could operate stably over 450 h without a short circuit. All solid Li|LiFePO4 batteries were constructed with this composite electrolyte and showed excellent rate and cycling performances. The first discharge-specific capacity of the assembled battery was 155.1 mA h g−1, and the capacity retention was 91% after operating for 300 cycles at 0.5 C. These results demonstrated that the chemical grafting of porous inorganic materials and cross-linking polymerization can greatly improve the properties of CPEs.

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.
