Fabrication and Investigation of PE-SiO2@PZS Composite Separator for Lithium-Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT: Commercial polyolefin separators exhibit problems including shrinkage under high temperatures and poor electrolyte wettability and uptake, resulting in low ionic conductivity and safety problems. In this work, core–shell silica-polyphosphazene nanoparticles (SiO2@PZS) with different PZS layer thicknesses were synthesized and coated onto both sides of polyethylene (PE) microporous membranes to prepare composite membranes. Compared to pure silica-coated membranes and PE membranes, the PE-SiO2@PZS composite membrane had higher ionic conductivity. With the increase in the SiO2@PZS shell thickness, the electrolyte uptake, ionic conductivity and discharge capacity gradually increased. The discharge capacity of the PE-SiO2@PZS composite membrane at 8 C rate was 129 mAh/g, which was higher than the values of 107 mAh/g for the PE-SiO2 composite membrane and 104 mAh/g for the PE membrane.

Fabrication of a Nondegradable Si@SiO x /n-Carbon Crystallite Composite Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:A Si-based anode maintaining its high electrochemical performance with cycles was prepared for the nondegradable lithium-ion battery. Nanoscaled Si particles were mechanochemically coupled with approximately 3 nm thick oxide layer and n-carbon (nanoscaled carbon) crystallites to overcome silicon's inherent problems of poor electronic conductivity and severe volume change during lithiation and delithiation cycling. The oxide layer of SiO x was chemically formed via a controlled oxygen environment during the process; meanwhile, the n-carbon crystallites were obtained by mechanical fragmentation from ∼70 μm sized multilayered graphene powders with a low degree of agglomeration. The Si-based composite anode, processed by the above-mentioned mechanochemical coupling, maintained a superior discharge capacity of 1767 mA h/g through 100 cycles with a Coulombic efficiency exceeding 98% at a current density of 100 mA/g. According to our current study, the coupling of the Si particles with oxide layer and n-carbon crystallites was found to be a significantly efficient way to prevent the performance degradation of the Si-based anode.

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.

SiO x /C Composite Anode of Lithium-Ion Batteries with Enhanced Performances Using Multicomponent Binders.

Project description:A silicon suboxide-carbon (SiO x /C, 1 ≤ x ≤ 2) composite anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with enhanced performance is prepared using an aqueous multicomponent binder technology. Considering the adhesive force, electrolyte absorption, and stability, different binders including sodium alginate (SA), polyacrylamide gel (PAM), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and their composites are evaluated. It is indicated that compared to other anodes with single- or multicomponent binders, the SiO x /C composite anode with PAM/SA/PTFE663 (PSAP663) binders exhibits strong adhesion, moderate electrolyte absorption ability, and a specific capacity of 427 mA h g-1 charge-discharged at 0.5 A g-1 after 300 cycles. The improvement of electrochemical performance is attributed to the comprehensive effects of composite binders, including the adhesion of active substances, surface protection, solution adsorption, conductive path, and so on. These results show that the PSAP663 binder has promising potential for application, which not only gives alternative practical schemes of the green binders for the SiO x /C anodes but also provides ideas to develop a high-performance adhesive technology for LIBs.

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.

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.

Nature-Derived Cellulose-Based Composite Separator for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging power sources for the replacement of lithium-ion batteries. Recent studies have focused on the development of electrodes and electrolytes, with thick glass fiber separators (~380 μm) generally adopted. In this work, we introduce a new thin (~50 μm) cellulose-polyacrylonitrile-alumina composite as a separator for SIBs. The separator exhibits excellent thermal stability with no shrinkage up to 300°C and electrolyte uptake with a contact angle of 0°. The sodium ion transference number, t Na + , of the separator is measured to be 0.78, which is higher than that of bare cellulose ( t Na + : 0.31). These outstanding physical properties of the separator enable the long-term operation of NaCrO2 cathode/hard carbon anode full cells in a conventional carbonate electrolyte, with capacity retention of 82% for 500 cycles. Time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectroscopy analysis reveals the additional role of the Al2O3 coating, which is transformed into AlF3 upon long-term cycling owing to HF scavenging. Our findings will open the door to the use of cellulose-based functional separators for high-performance SIBs.

Pomegranate-Like Structured Si@SiOx Composites With High-Capacity for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Silicon anodes with an extremely high theoretical specific capacity of 4,200 mAh g-1 have been considered as one of the most promising anode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the large volume expansion during lithiation hinders its practical application. In this work, pomegranate-like Si@SiOx composites were prepared using a simple spray drying process, during which silicon nanoparticles reacted with oxygen and generated SiOx on the surface. The thickness of the SiOx layer was tuned by adjusting the drying temperature. In the unique architecture, the SiOx which serves as the protection layer and the void space in pomegranate-like structure could alleviate the volume expansion during repeated lithium insertion/extraction. As a lithium-ion battery anode, pomegranate-like Si@SiOx composites dried at 180°C delivered a high specific capacity of 1746.5 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at 500 mA g-1.

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

Project description: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).

Carbon-Free Conversion of SiO2 to Si via Ultra-Rapid Alloy Formation: Toward the Sustainable Fabrication of Nanoporous Si for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Silicon has the potential to improve lithium-ion battery (LIB) performance substantially by replacing graphite as an anode. The sustainability of such a transformation, however, depends on the source of silicon and the nature of the manufacturing process. Today's silicon industry still overwhelmingly depends on the energy-intensive, high-temperature carbothermal reduction of silica─a process that adversely impacts the environment. Rather than use conventional thermoreduction alone to break Si-O bonds, we report the efficient conversion of SiO2 directly to Mg2Si by a microwave-induced Mg plasma within 2.5 min at merely 200 W under vacuum. The underlying mechanism is proposed, wherein electrons with enhanced kinetics function readily as the reductant while the "bombardment" from Mg cations and electrons promotes the fast nucleation of Mg2Si. The 3D nanoporous (NP) Si is then fabricated by a facile thermal dealloying step. The resulting hierarchical NP Si anodes deliver stable, extended cycling with excellent rate capability in Li-ion half-cells, with capacities several times greater than graphite. The microwave-induced metal plasma (MIMP) concept can be applied just as efficiently to the synthesis of Mg2Si from Si, and the chemistry should be extendable to the reduction of multiple metal(loid) oxides via their respective Mg alloys.

A Low-Cost SiO x /C@Graphite Composite Derived from Oat Husk as an Advanced Anode for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Silicon monoxide (SiO x ), as a promising anode for the next-generation high-power lithium-ion batteries, has some advantages such as higher lithium storage capacity (∼2400 mAh g-1), suitable working potential, and smaller volume variations during cycling compared with pure silicon. However, its disadvantages such as its inherent low conductivity and high cost impede its extensive applications. Herein, we have developed a low-cost and high-capacity SiO x /C@graphite (SCG) composite derived from oat husks by a simple argon/hydrogen reduction method. For further practical application, we also investigated the electrochemical performances of SiO x mixed with different ratios of graphite. As an advanced anode for lithium-ion batteries, the SCG-1 composite exhibits an excellent electrochemical performance in terms of lithium storage capacity (809.5 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 even after the 250th cycle) and high rate capability (479.7 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after the 200th cycle). This work may pave the way for developing a low-cost silicon-based anode derived from biomass with a large reversible capacity and long cycle life in lithium-ion batteries.
