Summary
Polymer solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity at room‐temperature is most likely to be widely used in solid‐state lithium batteries. In this work, the novel surface lithiated TiO2 nanorods were firstly used as ionic conductor in polymer solid electrolyte. The surface lithiated TiO2 nanorods‐filled polypropylene carbonate polymer composite solid electrolyte (CSE) has an uniform composite structure with a thickness of about 60 μm. The ionic conductivity at room‐temperature is 1.21 × 10−4 S cm−1 and the electrochemical stability window is up to 4.6 V (vs Li+/Li). The assembled NCM622/CSE/Li solid‐state battery shows a stable cycle performance with a retention capacity of 120 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles at the current density of 0.3 C and a high coulomb efficiency of 99%. Compared with TiO2 particles, this novel surface lithiated TiO2 nanorods can provide more continuous ion transport channels and more Lewis acid‐base reactive sites, provide a novel way to enhance the lithium ion transport in polymer solid electrolyte.
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.
