Abstract
• Electrolyte film is composed of PPC and highly mesoporous silica nanoparticles. • Composite solid polymer electrolyte (CSPE) shows high Li + transference number of 0.86. • Li/CSPE/Li cell possessed excellent stability over 1000 h with small overpotential. • Li/CSPE/LFP delivered capacity of 103 mAh g −1 at 1 C and rate capability up to 5 C. Composite solid polymer electrolytes (CSPEs) are promising candidates for replacing potentially hazardous organic liquid electrolytes used in Li ion batteries (LIBs). CSPEs are easy to process, have the ability to form films, and make better interfacial contact. However, their poor mechanical strength, low ionic conductivity, and long cycling stability limit their practical applications. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of a cost-effective, flexible, self-standing, and highly stable CSPE using poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) as the host matrix and highly mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as the filler. The fabricated CSPE had a high ionic conductivity of approximately 8.5 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 60°C, electrochemical potential stability up to approximately 4.8 V vs. Li/Li + , an ultra-high lithium transference number of approximately 0.86, impressive stability over 1000 h of Li stripping/plating, and an excellent electrode compatibility. With cyclability over 200 cycles and a negligible overpotential, the Li/CSPE/LFP cell delivered a reversible capacity of 171 and 103 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C and 1 C, respectively, with a good rate capability up to 5 C. The interaction of Li + with PPC and the MSNs is demonstrated by solid-state magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies. The enhanced physico-electrochemical properties of the CSPE were attributed to the large MSNs-related surface area, which enables firm interaction with the PPC matrix and provides a less-tortuous polymer-ceramic phase for fast lithium ion transportation. The proposed MSNs-reinforced CSPE thus opens new possibilities for the fabrication and engineering of solid-state batteries.
