摘要

We prepared CPM films with excellent thermal stability and high porosity by electrospinning and cross-linking in sequence. Then CPM films were activated by immersing in electrolyte to prepare CGPEs with enhanced electrolyte uptake and high ionic conductivity.

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries (LI

Bs) benefit from an effective electrolyte system design in both terms of their safety and energy storage capability. Herein

a series of precursor membranes with high porosity were produced using electrospinning technology by mixing PVDF and triblock copolymer (PS-PEO-PS)

resulting in a porous structure with good interconnections

which facilitates the absorbency of a large amount of electrolyte and further increases the ionic conductivity of gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs). It has been demonstrated that post-cross-linking of the precursor membranes increases the rigidity of the nanofibers

which allows the polymer film to be dimensionally stable up to 260 °C while maintaining superior electrochemical properties. The obtained cross-linked GPEs (CGPEs) showed high ionic conductivity up to 4.53×10

. With the CGPE-25

the assembled Li/LiFePO

half cells exhibited good rate capability and maintained a capacity of 99.4% and a coulombic efficiency of 99.3% at 0.1 C. These results suggest that the combination of electrospinning technique and post-cross-linking is an effective method to construct polymer electrolytes with high thermal stability and steadily decent electrochemical performance

particularly useful for Lithium-ion battery applications that require high-temperature usage.
