Structural and transport properties
of a newly designed high-transference
number electrolyte (HTNE) system consisting of perfluoropolyether-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PFPE-PEO; PFPEE10-Diol) as the solvent in a mixture with the lithium salt bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide
(LiTFSI) for application in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are studied
by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The obtained results indicate
a correlation between the transference number (t
+) and ionic conductivity (σ) of Li+. Therefore,
an effective ionic conductivity parameter (σt
+) is introduced to treat the transport properties of
the electrolyte system. Analysis of the results leads to the conclusion
that at a high temperature (423 K) and a salt (LiTFSI) concentration
of 0.89 M, the studied HTNE system (PFPEE10) would show
the highest performance, especially more efficient charge transfer,
if employed as an electrolyte, in the LIB operation.
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.
