A review of composite organic-inorganic electrolytes for lithium batteries

Improved Thermal Durability and Mechanical Robustness of LCTO-Embedded Composite Electrolytes Derived from PEO for Lithium Metal Battery Applications

“…Adding various nanostructure ceramic fillers [such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanosheets, and three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds] into the polymer matrix has garnered significant interest for creating composite polymer electrolytes. 32 The inorganic fillers include lithium-ion conductors (Li 1 0 GeP 2 S 1 2 and Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 ) 33,34 and metal oxides (ZrO 2 , SiO 2 , TiO 2 , and Al 2 O 3 ). 35−38 The added inorganic additives serve as crosslinking nodes that diminish the polymeric crystalline structure, facilitating the translational movement of polymer chains.…”

“…Alternative approaches include the utilization of block polymers, , the introduction of plasticizers, and the incorporation of ceramic fillers. − However, the use of block polymers is hindered by their complex processability and high cost, while the addition of plasticizers compromises the mechanical properties.
