Improving ionic conductivity of von-Alpen-type NASICON ceramic electrolytes via magnesium doping

Ionic conductivity enhancement of polymer electrolytes with ceramic nanowire fillers.

Solid-state electrolytes provide substantial improvements to safety and electrochemical stability in lithium-ion batteries when compared with conventional liquid electrolytes, which makes them a promising alternative technology for next-generation high-energy batteries. Currently, the low mobility of lithium ions in solid electrolytes limits their practical application. The ongoing research ove...

Understanding Ionic Conductivity in Crystalline Polymer Electrolytes

A Computer Simulation Study of Ionic Conductivity in Polymer Electrolytes

In this paper we present a computer simulation study of ionic conductivity in solid polymeric electrolytes. The multiphase nature of the material is taken into account. The polymer is represented by a regular lattice whose sites represent either crystalline or amorphous regions with the charge carrier performing a random walk. Different waiting times are assigned to sites corresponding to the d...

Electrochemistry of magnesium electrolytes in ionic liquids for secondary batteries.

The electrochemistry of Mg salts in room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) was studied using plating/stripping voltammetry to assess the viability of IL solvents for applications in secondary Mg batteries. Borohydride (BH4(-)), trifluoromethanesulfonate (TfO(-)), and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Tf2N(-)) salts of Mg were investigated. Three ILs were considered: l-n-butyl-3-methylimidazoliu...

Ionic Conductivity of LiHf2(PO4)3 with NASICON-type Structure and its Possible Application as Electrolyte in Lithium Batteries

Este trabalho reporta medidas de condutividade iônica realizadas para o LiHf2(PO4)3 calcinado a 1100 °C. As respostas devidas aos grãos in te rior e junção puderam ser identificadas tanto nas curvas de impedância, como na parte real das curvas de condutividade vs. freqüência. A energia de ativação, associada ao movi men to dos íons Li no in te rior dos grãos, é 0,33 eV, enquanto que aquela asso...
