摘要

Abstract

The time-resolved attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy is employed to investigate the transport mechanism of gel electrolytes by monitoring the diffusion behavior of propylene carbonate-lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (PC-LiTFSI) solution through poly(vinylidene fluoride-

-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VDF-HFP)) films. Fickian behavior has been observed for both TFSI

−

and PC. Higher temperature leads to faster diffusion of TFSI

−

and PC

which could be related to the increased free volume in P(VDF-HFP) matrix and rapid molecular movements upon heating. Various molecular interactions among LiTFSI

PC and P(VDF-HFP) have been recognized. During the diffusion process

PC molecules

in the form of small clusters

can firstly diffuse through the P(VDF-HFP) film and interact with P(VDF-HFP) by dipole-dipole interaction

acting as the plasticizer. Then

diffuses into P(VDF-HFP) with the help of ion-dipole interactions between Li

and C＝O of PC. Meanwhile

TFSI

−

diffuses through the polymer matrix in solvation states. In addition

slight ion-dipole interactions between Li

and P(VDF-HFP) have been observed as well. Results in this work contribute to a better understanding of transport process in gel polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries and support the development of improved gel polymer electrolytes by rationally regulating molecular interactions.
