Title: Flexible poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)-based gel polymer electrolyte for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Author: Zhang P, Li R, Huang J, Liu B, Zhou M, Wen B, Xia Y, Okada S. Journal: RSC Adv; 2021 Mar 23; 11(20):11943-11951. PubMed ID: 35423739. Abstract: Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) have attracted ever-increasing attention in Li-ion batteries, due to their great thermal stability and excellent electrochemical performance. Here, a flexible poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP)-based GPE doped with an appropriate proportion of the PEO and SiO2 is developed through a universal immersion precipitation method. This porous PVDF-HFP-PEO-SiO2 GPE with high ionic conductivity and lithium-ion transference number (tLi+ ) can enhance the electrochemical performance of LiFePO4 cells, leading to superior rate capability and excellent cycling stability. Moreover, the PVDF-HFP-PEO-SiO2 GPE effectively inhibits the lithium dendrite growth, thereby improving the safety of Li-ion batteries. In view of the simplicity in using the gel polymer electrolyte, it is believed that this novel GPE can be used as a potential candidate for high-performance Li-ion batteries.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
