Gel polymer electrolyte with semi-IPN fabric for polymer lithium-ion battery

摘要

A new type of semi-IPN gel electrolyte was prepared by thermal polymerization in this article. At first, the crosslinkable PEG200 (MXPEG) was prepared by condensation reaction, then the crosslinkable components were blent with PMMA and heated under vacuum to form polymer blends with semi-IPN fabric. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy were used to investigate the thermal properties and crystalline/amorphous structure of the prepared polymer blends. With semi-IPN fabric, they present amorphous absolutely. For semi-IPN gel electrolyte, the mechanical and the electrochemical properties are varied with the quantity of absorbed liquid electrolyte. Ion-conductivity behavior for semi-IPN gel electrolyte measured by means of AC impedance spectrum showed that the best data was 1.62 × 10 ~(-3)S cm ~(-1) at room temperature, and Arrhenius-type relationship was obeyed in the temperature dependence of ionic conductivity. In addition, the electrochemical stability window of the semi-IPN gel electrolyte was 4.6 V. All the properties showed that the prepared semi-IPN gel electrolyte was expected to have applications of electrolyte for lithium-ion polymer secondary batteries.
