摘要

Abstract

Liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries suffer from leakage

flammability

and lithium dendrites

making polymer electrolyte a potential alternative. Herein

a series of ABA triblock copolymers (ABA-

) containing a mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymer (MJLCP) with a polynorbornene backbone as segment A and a second polynorbornene-based polymer having poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) side chains as segment B were synthesized through tandem ring-opening metathesis polymerizations. The block copolymers can self-assemble into ordered morphologies at 200 °C. After doping of lithium salts and ionic liquid (IL)

ABA-

self-assembles into cylindrical structures. The MJLCP segments with a high glass transition temperature and a stable liquid crystalline phase serve as physical crosslinking points

which significantly improve the mechanical performance of the polymer electrolytes. The ionic conductivity of ABA-

/lithium salt/IL is as high as 10

−3

S·cm

−1

at ambient temperature owing to the high IL uptake and the continuous phase of conducting PEO domains. The relationship between ionic conductivity and temperature fits the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher (VTF) equation. In addition

the electrolyte films are flame retardant owing to the addition of IL. The polymer electrolytes with good safety and high ambient-temperature ionic conductivity developed in this work are potentially useful in solid lithium-ion batteries.
