Preparation and Characterization of electrospun PVDF/PMMA composite fibrous membranes-based separator for lithium-ion batteries

摘要

The poly(vinylidene fluoride)/poly(methyl methacrylate)(PVDF/PMMA) composite fibrous membranes with different blend ratio for use as separator of lithium-ion batteries have been developed by electrospinning technique. The surface morphology and crystal structure of electrospun PVDF/PMMA composite fibrous membranes are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).The results indicated that the addition of PMMA into PVDF increased the fiber diameter, decreased the crystalline of electrospun composite fibrous membranes and the good molecular level interaction between these two polymers were obtained. Meanwhile, electrospun PVDF/PMMA (90/10) composite fibrous membranes exhibited the highest ionic conductivity of 2.54×10~(-3) S/cm at room temperature with electrochemical stability of up to 5.0 V.
