A new composite gel polymer electrolyte of nonwoven fabric (NWF) and methyl cellulose (MC) with good mechanical properties and outstanding thermal and electrochemical stability is prepared by a simple and green casting process followed by absorbing liquid electrolyte. Its characteristics are investigated by scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Due to the synergistic action between MC matrix and the NWF framework, the composite gel polymer electrolyte achieves higher ionic conductivity (0.29 mS cm−1) at ambient temperature and larger lithium ion transference number (0.34) than those for the conventional Celgard 2730 separator (0.21 mS cm−1 and 0.27, respectively) in 1 mol L−1 LiPF6 electrolyte, and their activation energies are similar. In addition, the composite membrane shows better mechanical strength than the pure MC membrane. The evaporation rate of the liquid electrolyte at elevated temperature is much decreased. The assembled Li//LiFePO4 cell using this composite gel membrane exhibits better cycling retention and higher discharge capacity than those based on Celgard 2730 separator and pure MC gel membrane. These fascinating characteristics suggest that this unique composite gel polymer electrolyte can be used for lithium ion batteries with good performance and low cost.

A series of luminescent polymers are synthesized by incorporating rare earth complex units into polymer matrices. Firstly, we functionalize the selected polymer matrices with the imidazolium moieties, and then introduce the rare earth tetrakis(β-diketonate) complexes into polymer matrices through a mild anion exchange method. The resulting materials are characterized by FTIR, XRD, EDAX, SEM, thermogravimetric analysis, luminescence excitation spectra and emission spectra, luminescence lifetime measurements and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra. The photoluminescence measurements indicate that all these rare earth complex functionalized polymers exhibit a characteristic luminescence emission originating from the corresponding rare earth ions. Among the hybrids, the europium tetrakis(TTA) complex functionalized polymers show remarkable luminescence quantum yields and relatively long 5 D 0 lifetimes at room temperature.

A novel single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte (SIPE) membrane with high lithium-ion transference number, good mechanical strength, and excellent ionic conductivity is designed and synthesized by facile coupling of lithium bis(allylmalonato) borate (LiBAMB), pentaerythritol tetrakis (2-mercaptoacetate) (PETMP) and 3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanedithiol (DODT) in an electrospun poly(vinylidienefluoride) (PVDF) supporting membrane via a one-step photoinitiated in situ thiol–ene click reaction. The structure-optimized LiBAMB-PETMP-DODT (LPD)@PVDF SIPE shows an outstanding ionic conductivity of 1.32 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 25 °C, together with a high lithium-ion transference number of 0.92 and wide electrochemical window up to 6.0 V. The SIPE exhibits high tensile strength of 7.2 MPa and elongation at break of 269%. Due to these superior performances, the SIPE can suppress lithium dendrite growth, which is confirmed by galvanostatic Li plating/stripping cycling test and analysis of morphology of Li metal electrode surface after cycling test. Li|LPD@PVDF|Li symmetric cell maintains an extremely stable and low overpotential without short circuiting over the 1050 h cycle. The Li|LPD@PVDF|LiFePO 4 cell shows excellent rate capacity and outstanding cycle performance compared to cells based on a conventional liquid electrolyte (LE) with Celgard separator. The facile approach of the SIPE provides an effective and promising electrolyte for safe, long-life, and high-rate lithium metal batteries.

The modified polypropylene (PP) separators with self-polymerization of dopamine on the surfaces are prepared by a simple solution-immersion method to improve the interfacial hydrophilic and discharge performance. The contact angle test and the liquid electrolyte uptake capacity test results show that the wettability and the electrolyte-retention ability of polydopamine-modified separator are improved significantly. The robust and thin polydopamine layer on the surface also enhances thermal performance and tensile strength of the modified PP separator certified by DSC and tensile strength tests. The ionic conductivity of the modified PP separator is up to 3.08 mS·cm −1 , ∼2.5 times of the bare separator. Good discharge capacity retention and C-rate discharge performance are demonstrated by a 2025 coin half-cell with the liquid electrolyte-soaked polydopamine modified PP separator sandwiched between lithium metal anode and LiFePO 4 cathode. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A series of cross-linked multiblock copoly(arylene ether sulfone) ionomer/nano-ZrO2 (CLQCPAES/nano-ZrO2) composite anion exchange membranes were prepared via block copolymerization, bromomethylation, ultrasonication blending, self-crosslinking, quaternization and alkalization. The structure, and the surface and cross section morphology of the CLQCPAES/nano-ZrO2 composite membranes were characterized by solubility tests, FT-IR, XRD and SEM analyses. The combination of the determined results revealed that the CLQCPAES/nano-ZrO2 composite membranes are a complex cross-linking networks of hydrophobic domains/hydrophilic domains/nano-ZrO2 with a clear zonal distribution of uniform nano-sized particles in the hydrophilic domains, when the nano-filler loading was below 7.5%. Basic performances of the CLQCPAES/nano-ZrO2 composite membranes were assessed to investigate their application in fuel cells in terms of the water uptake, swelling ratio, ion exchange capacity (IEC), hydroxide conductivity, thermal and mechanical properties, and alkaline stability. The modification of anion exchange membranes with multiblock ionomer structures, the use of a cross-linking technique and the introduction of nano-ZrO2 particles greatly enhanced the water uptake, hydroxide conductivity, mechanical properties and alkaline stability of the composite membranes. In particular, the CLQCPAES/7.5%ZrO2 membrane with an IEC value of 1.23 mmol g−1 exhibited the best comprehensive properties and constitutes a good potential candidate for an anion exchange membrane to be used in AEMFCs.

In this work, Li 2 NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is successfully synthesized by using a simple solid-state reaction method. Structural analysis shows that this sample is a hybrid product consisted of rhombohedral Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase and rhombohedral Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase As a cathode material for lithium ion batteries, Li 2 NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 exhibits an initial reversible capacity of 108.9 mAh g −1 at 35 mA g −1 in the potential range between 3.0 and 4.3 V, with an average working potential at 3.75 V. The lithium-ion diffusion coefficient in Li 2 NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is measured to be 1.86–3.27 × 10 −15 cm 2 s −1 . In addition, the electrochemical reaction between Li 2 NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 and Li is also investigated by various in-situ and ex-situ techniques. Viewed from the in-situ and ex-situ results, it is concluded that the electrochemical reactions of Li 2 NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 with Li are associated with the formation of rhombohedral LiV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase and rhombohedral NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase during the lithium ion extraction process and its reverse lithium insertion process is reversible for structural evolution. The highly stable structure ensures the electrochemical reversibility of Li 2 NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 cathode material in lithium ion batteries.

Vanadyl phosphate (VOPO 4 ·2H 2 O) has been regarded as one of the most promising cathode materials for aqueous Zn-ion batteries due to its distinct layered structure. However, VOPO 4 ·2H 2 O has not yet demonstrated the exceptional Zn ion storage performance owing to the structural deterioration during repeated charging/discharging process and poor intrinsic conductivity. In this work, 2D sodium vanadyl phosphate (NaVOPO 4 ·0.83H 2 O, denoted as NaVOP) is designed as a cathode material for Zn-ion batteries, in which sodium ions are preinserted into the interlayer, replacing part of water. Benefiting from the in situ surface oxidization, improved electronic conductivity, and increased hydrophobicity, the NaVOP electrode exhibits a high discharge capacity of 187 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 after activation, excellent rate capability and enhanced cycling performance with 85% capacity retention after 1500 cycles at 1 A g −1 . The energy storage mechanism of the NaVOP nanoflakes based on the rapid Zn 2+ and H + intercalation pseudocapacitance are investigated via multiple ex situ characterizations.

Lithium metal batteries based on solid electrolytes are considered as promising candidates with high energy density and safety. However, the weak solid-solid contact between electrolyte and electrode can easily lead to interface instability and lithium ions discontinuous migration, which seriously reduces the electrochemical performance of the battery. Herein, we construct a soft gel interfacial layer to improve the stability of the solid-solid interface between electrolyte and electrode by means of polyester-based monomers and imidazole-based ionic liquids. Based on this, garnet-type Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) particles as inorganic ceramic filler were introduced in the layer to obtain composite electrolytes with high ionic conductivity (up to 1.1 × 10 −3 S/cm at 25 °C). As a result, the assembled lithium symmetric battery of Li|THCE-15%LLZTO|Li suggests excellent cycling stability with 700 h at 0.1 mA/cm 2 at 50 °C, and the lithium metal batteries of LFP|THCE-15%LLZTO|Li delivers high initial discharge capacity of 128.2 mA ·h/g with capacity retain of 75.48% after 150 cycles at 2 C. This work paves a new route to build safe and stable lithium metal batteries with synergistic introduction of composite electrolytes between electrolyte and electrode using soft gel interfacial layer and inorganic filler.

Computer simulation accelerates the selection and application of new electrode materials. The First-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) are performed to evaluate the performance as cathode for Potassium ion batteries (PIBs) on the structure, electronic conductivity and ionic diffusion of O-doped KMnF 3 . After taking comprehensive consideration of the calculation results, the nanostructured O-doped KMnF 3 was synthesized and the structure and electrochemical properties were further improved by carbon coating. Here, we report a new etch pathway to create a new class of carbon-coated perovskite fluoride to improve the performance of PIB in terms of rate capability and cycle stability. These new material design concepts will help discover and synthesize new materials for PIBs.

Worked as anode material , Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 delivers a stable electrochemical performance with good lithium storage capability. Structural analyses show that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 anode experiences slight volume change during electrochemical lithiation/delithiation process. Moreover, the reversibility of structural evolution is further demonstrated by in-situ X-ray diffraction technique . All these evidences prove the cycling stability of Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 as lithium storage material. Besides, the kinetic properties of the Li + ion storage in Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 are systematically investigated. The observed results reveal that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 delivers the lithium ions diffusion coefficient in the range of 10 − 14 –10 − 12 cm 2 s − 1 during the discharge process and 10 − 15 –10 − 12 cm 2 s − 1 during the recharge process. It suggests that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 has good lithiation/delithiation kinetics in rechargeable batteries.

Fe 2 O 3 nanospindles assembled with nanoparticles as primary building blocks are directly synthesized by a versatile ionothermal strategy in the choline chloride/urea mixture-based deep eutectic solvent system. The proposed ionothermal protocol is attractive and environmental friendly because choline chloride and urea are both naturally biocompatible compounds. As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the resultant Fe 2 O 3 nanospindles show high capacity and good cycle stability (921.7 mAh g −1 at a current density of 200 mA g −1 up to 50 cycles), as well as the excellent rate capability. The good electrochemical performance can be attributed to the nanospindle structure with high sufficient interfacial contact area between the active material and electrolyte, the short diffusion distance of Li ions . The environmentally benign strategy proposed in this study is expected to offer an attractive technique for the ionothermal synthesis of electrochemical energy storage materials .
