We report an all-solid-state Li rechargeable battery based on a hybrid membrane comprising a highly-concentrated poly(ethylene carbonate) (PEC) electrolyte with 80 wt% of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) and a three-dimensionally ordered macroporous polyimide matrix operating at room temperature. The PEC-LiFSI 80 wt% electrolyte showed an ionic conductivity of the order of 10 -5 S cm -1 at 30 o C and quite high Li transference number, and was employed as a good ion-conductive solid polymer membrane for all-solid-state Li battery. To assure the mechanical stability, the polyimide matrix was combined as a porous substrate to support the electrolyte. A Li|PEC-LiFSI|LiFePO 4 cell with the hybrid membrane delivered a reversible charge-discharge capacity close to 120~130 mAh g -1 at 30 o C and C/20 rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
