A Light-Thin Chitosan Nanofiber Separator for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: With the development of portable devices and wearable devices, there is a higher demand for high-energy density and light lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The separator is a significant component directly affecting the performance of LIBs. In this paper, a thin and porous chitosan nanofiber separator was successfully fabricated using the simple ethanol displacement method. The thickness of the CME15 separator was about half that of mainstream commercial Celgard2325 separators. Owing to its inherent polarity and high porosity, the obtained CME15 separator achieved a small contact angle (18°) and excellent electrolyte wettability (324% uptake). The CME15 separator could maintain excellent thermal dimensional stability at 160 °C. Furthermore, the CME15 separator-based LIBs exhibited excellent cycling performance after 100 cycles (117 mAh g^-1 at 1 C). The present work offers a perspective on applying a chitosan nanofiber separator in light and high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Multilayer Nanofiber Composite Separator for Lithium-Ion Batteries with High Safety.

Project description:An original Von Koch curve-shaped tipped electrospinneret was used to prepare a polyimide (PI)-based nanofiber membrane. A multilayer Al2O3@polyimide/polyethylene/Al2O3@polyimide (APEAP) composite membrane was tactfully designed with an Al2O3@ polyimide (AP) membrane as outer shell, imparting high temperature to the thermal run-away separator performance and a core polyethylene (PE) layer imparts the separator with a thermal shut-down property at low temperature (123 °C). An AP electrospun nanofiber was obtained by doping Al2O3 nanoparticles in PI solution. The core polyethylene layer was prepared using polyethylene powder and polyterafluoroethylene (PTFE) miniemulsion through a coating process. The addition of PTFE not only bonds PE power, but also increases the adhesion force between the PE and AP membranes. As a result, the multilayer composite separator has high safety, outstanding electrochemical properties, and better cycling performance as a lithium-ion battery separator.

Electrospun MXene/polyimide nanofiber composite separator for enhancing thermal stability and ion transport of lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has garnered significant attention. As an essential component of batteries, the separator plays a crucial role in separating the positive and negative electrodes, preventing short circuits, and allowing ion transport. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high-performance separator that is both thermally stable and capable of rapid Li+ transport. Polyimide (PI) is a material with high thermal stability, but low electrolyte wettability and high interfacial resistance of PI restrict its application in high-performance LIBs batteries. MXene possesses excellent mechanical properties and good electrolyte affinity. PI/MXene nanofiber composite separator. Combines the high thermal stability of PI with the superior electrolyte wettability of MXene. It exhibits a high tensile strength of 19.6 MPa, low bulk resistance (2.5 Ω), and low interfacial resistance (174 Ω), as well as a low electrolyte contact angle of 29°, while retaining the high-temperature resistance and flame retardancy of PI. Batteries assembled with this composite separator demonstrated a specific capacity of 111.0 mAh g-1 and a capacity retention rate of 66% at 2C. In long-term cycling tests of LiFePO₄ half-cells at 1C, after 200 charge-discharge cycles, the PI/MXene battery showed a discharge specific capacity of 126.7 mAh g-1 and a capacity retention rate of 91%. Additionally, the battery operated normally at 120°C. The composite separator, by integrating the high thermal stability of PI with the excellent electrolyte wettability and conductivity of MXene, demonstrates significant advantages in enhancing battery safety and cycling performance. Through this composite structure can provide a more reliable and safe solution for high-performance LIBs.

A High Performance Polyacrylonitrile Composite Separator with Cellulose Acetate and Nano-Hydroxyapatite for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:The traditional commercial polyolefin separators suffer from high-temperature thermal shrinkage, low electrolyte wettability and other issues. In order to improve the overall performance of the separators, electrostatic spinning technology was applied to obtain PAN nanofiber separators with an average diameter of 320 nm. Then cellulose acetate (CA) resin and nano-hydroxyapatite (HAP) were introduced to fabricate the PAN/CA/HAP composite separators through the constant temperature hot pressing and dip-coating crafts. The composite separator has a good thermal stability, with no significant dimensional change after a constant temperature treatment of 200 °C for 35 min. The electrolyte uptake rate of the PAN/CA/HAP-1.0 composite separator reaches 281%, which exhibits an efficient ionic conductivity. At the same time, it also attains a tensile strength of 11.18 MPa, which meets the requirement for separator use. Button cells assembled from PAN/CA/HAP-1.0 composite separators have an excellent rate of performance (160.42 mAh·g-1 at 0.2 C) and cycle capability (157.6 mAh·g-1 after 50 cycles at 0.5 C). The results support that lithium-ion batteries assembled with PAN/CA/HAP-1.0 composite separators will exhibit higher safety stability and better electrochemical performance than that of polyolefin separators, with a very immense potential for application.

Boron Nitride Nanotube-Based Separator for High-Performance Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

Project description:To prevent global warming, ESS development is in progress along with the development of electric vehicles and renewable energy. However, the state-of-the-art technology, i.e., lithium-ion batteries, has reached its limitation, and thus the need for high-performance batteries with improved energy and power density is increasing. Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are attracting enormous attention because of their high theoretical energy density. However, there are technical barriers to its commercialization such as the formation of dendrites on the anode and the shuttle effect of the cathode. To resolve these issues, a boron nitride nanotube (BNNT)-based separator is developed. The BNNT is physically purified so that the purified BNNT (p-BNNT) has a homogeneous pore structure because of random stacking and partial charge on the surface due to the difference of electronegativity between B and N. Compared to the conventional polypropylene (PP) separator, the p-BNNT loaded PP separator prevents the dendrite formation on the Li metal anode, facilitates the ion transfer through the separator, and alleviates the shuttle effect at the cathode. With these effects, the p-BNNT loaded PP separators enable the LSB cells to achieve a specific capacity of 1429 mAh/g, and long-term stability over 200 cycles.

A crystalline carbon nitride-based separator for high-performance lithium metal batteries.

Project description:Lithium metal anodes with ultrahigh theoretical capacities are very attractive for assembling high-performance batteries. However, uncontrolled Li dendrite growth strongly retards their practical applications. Different from conventional separator modification strategies that are always focused on functional group tuning or mechanical barrier construction, herein, we propose a crystallinity engineering-related tactic by using the highly crystalline carbon nitride as the separator interlayer to suppress dendrite growth. Interestingly, the presence of Cl- intercalation and high-content pyrrolic-N from molten salt treatment along with highly crystalline structure enhanced the interactions of carbon nitride with Li+ and homogenized lithium flux for uniform deposition, as supported by both experimental and theoretical evidences. The Li-Li cell with the modified separator therefore delivered ultrahigh stability even after 3,000 h with dendrite-free cycled electrodes. Meanwhile, the assembled Li-LiFePO4 full-cell also presented high-capacity retention. This work opens up opportunities for design of functional separators through crystallinity engineering and broadens the use of C3N4 for advanced batteries.

A safe and sustainable bacterial cellulose nanofiber separator for lithium rechargeable batteries.

Project description:Bacterial cellulose nanofiber (BCNF) with high thermal stability produced by an ecofriendly process has emerged as a promising solution to realize safe and sustainable materials in the large-scale battery. However, an understanding of the actual thermal behavior of the BCNF in the full-cell battery has been lacking, and the yield is still limited for commercialization. Here, we report the entire process of BCNF production and battery manufacture. We systematically constructed a strain with the highest yield (31.5%) by increasing metabolic flux and improved safety by introducing a Lewis base to overcome thermochemical degradation in the battery. This report will open ways of exploiting the BCNF as a "single-layer" separator, a good alternative to the existing chemical-derived one, and thus can greatly contribute to solving the environmental and safety issues.

The design of a multifunctional separator regulating the lithium ion flux for advanced lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:Herein, we design a controllable approach for preparing multifunctional polybenzimidazole porous membranes with superior fire-resistance, excellent thermo-stability, and high wettability. Specifically, the recyclable imidazole is firstly utilized as the eco-friendly template for micropores formation, which is an interesting finding and has tremendous potential for low-cost industrial production. The unique backbone structure of the as-prepared polybenzimidazole porous membrane endows the separator with superb thermal dimensional stability at 300 °C. Most significantly, the inherent flame retardancy of polybenzimidazole can ensure the high security of lithium-ion batteries, and the existence of polar groups of imidazole can regulate the Li+ flux and improve the ionic conductivity of lithium ions. Notably, the cell with a polybenzimidazole porous membrane presents higher capability (131.7 mA h g-1) than that of a commercial Celgard membrane (95.4 mA h g-1) at higher charge-discharge density (5C), and it can work normally at 120 °C. The fascinating comprehensive properties of the polybenzimidazole porous membrane with excellent thermal-stability, satisfying wettability, superb flame retardancy and good electrochemical performance indicate its promising application for high-safety and high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Mesoporous hexagonal Co3O4 for high performance lithium ion batteries.

Project description:Mesoporous Co3O4 nanoplates were successfully prepared by the conversion of hexagonal β-Co(OH)2 nanoplates. TEM, HRTEM and N2 sorption analysis confirmed the facet crystal structure and inner mesoporous architecture. When applied as anode materials for lithium storage in lithium ion batteries, mesoporous Co3O4 nanocrystals delivered a high specific capacity. At 10 C current rate, as-prepared mesoporous Co3O4 nanoplates delivered a specific capacity of 1203 mAh/g at first cycle and after 200 cycles it can still maintain a satisfied value (330 mAh/g). From ex-situ TEM, SAED and FESEM observation, it was found that mesoporous Co3O4 nanoplates were reduced to Li2O and Co during the discharge process and re-oxidised without losing the mesoporous structure during charge process. Even after 100 cycles, mesoporous Co3O4 crystals still preserved their pristine hexagonal shape and mesoporous nanostructure.

Photo-crosslinked lignin/PAN electrospun separator for safe lithium-ion batteries.

Project description:A novel crosslinked electrospun nanofibrous membrane with maleated lignin (ML) and poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) is presented as a separator for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Alkali lignin was treated with an esterification agent of maleic anhydride, resulting in a substantial hydroxyl group conversion to enhance the reactivity and mechanical properties of the final nanofiber membranes. The maleated lignin (ML) was subsequently mixed with UV-curable formulations (up to 30% wt) containing polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), hydrolyzed 3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (HMEMO) as crosslinkers, and poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) as a precursor polymer. UV-electrospinning was used to fabricate PAN/ML/HMEMO/PEGDA (PMHP) crosslinked membranes. PMHP membranes made of electrospun nanofibers feature a three-dimensional (3D) porous structure with interconnected voids between the fibers. The mechanical strength of PMHP membranes with a thickness of 25 µm was enhanced by the variation of the cross-linkable formulations. The cell assembled with PMHP2 membrane (20 wt% of ML) showed the maximum ionic conductivity value of 2.79*10-3 S cm-1, which is significantly higher than that of the same cell with the liquid electrolyte and commercial Celgard 2400 (6.5*10-4 S cm-1). The enhanced LIB efficiency with PMHP2 membrane can be attributed to its high porosity, which allows better electrolyte uptake and demonstrates higher ionic conductivity. As a result, the cell assembled with LiFePO4 cathode, Li metal anode, and PMHP2 membrane had a high initial discharge specific capacity of 147 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and exhibited outstanding rate performance. Also, it effectively limits the formation of Li dendrites over 1000 h. PMHP separators have improved chemical and physical properties, including porosity, thermal, mechanical, and electrochemical characteristics, compared with the commercial ones.

Effect of SiO₂ Nanoparticles on the Performance of PVdF-HFP/Ionic Liquid Separator for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Safety concerns related to the use of potentially explosive, liquid organic electrolytes in commercial high-power lithium-ion batteries are constantly rising. One promising alternative is to use thermally stable ionic liquids (ILs) as conductive media, which are however, limited by low ionic conductivity at room temperature. This can be improved by adding fillers, such as silica or alumina nanoparticles (NPs), in the polymer matrix that hosts the IL. To maximize the effect of such NPs, they have to be uniformly dispersed in the matrix while keeping their size as small as possible. In this work, starting from a water dispersion of silica NPs, we present a novel method to incorporate silica NPs at the nanoscale level (<200 nm) into PVdF-HFP polymer clusters, which are then blended with the IL solution and hot-pressed to form separators suitable for battery applications. The effect of different amounts of silica in the polymer matrix on the ionic conductivity and cyclability of the separator is investigated. A membrane containing 10 wt.% of silica (with respect to the polymer) was shown to maximize the performance of the separator, with a room temperature ionic conductivity of of 1.22 mS cm - 1 . The assembled half-coin cell with LiFePO 4 and Li as the cathode and the anode exhibited a capacity retention of more than 80% at a current density of 2C and 60 ∘ C.
