Compliant glass-polymer hybrid single ion-conducting electrolytes for lithium batteries.

Despite high ionic conductivities, current inorganic solid electrolytes cannot be used in lithium batteries because of a lack of compliance and adhesion to active particles in battery electrodes as they are discharged and charged. We have successfully developed a compliant, nonflammable, hybrid single ion-conducting electrolyte comprising inorganic sulfide glass particles covalently bonded to a...

Novel, Solvent Free, Single Ion Conducting Polymer Electrolytes

This work represents the electrochemical and structural study of the dual modified composite LiBOB-based polymer electrolyte. This chelated borate anion has a unique tetrahedron structure wherein no hydrogen is present. The main advantage of the use of LiBOB salt is the high ionic conductivity at low-ambient temperatures and low solid-electrolyte interphase resistance. The conductivity of LiBOB...

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...

Improved Lithium Ionic Conductivity in Composite Polymer Electrolytes with Oxide-Ion Conducting Nanowires.

Solid Li-ion electrolytes used in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are being considered to replace conventional liquid electrolytes that have leakage, flammability, and poor chemical stability issues, which represents one major challenge and opportunity for next-generation high-energy-density batteries. However, the low mobility of lithium ions in solid electrolytes limits their pra...
