A review on the effect of nanoparticles/matrix interactions on the battery performance of composite polymer electrolytes

Investigation of the Effect of Poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] Addition on the Electrochemical Performance of Cellulose-Based Solid- and Gel-Polymer Electrolytes in Lithium-Ion Batteries

“…In this context, lithium-metal-based devices have emerged as promising power sources due to their high-energy density and versatile applications. However, several challenges remain that affect their overall performance, rate capability, safety, and cost. , Conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) commonly employ liquid electrolytes comprising carbonate-based organic solvents, primarily due to their high ionic conductivity . However, liquid electrolytes have limited use due to electrolyte leakage, reactivity toward the lithium electrode, and flammability. , …”

Unveiling the Synergy of Polymer–Salt Compositions for Properties Enhancement of Solid Polymer Electrolytes Based on PEO/PVP Blend Polymer Matrix and LiTFSI Dopant Salt

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] SPEs have several appealing features, such as leakage proof, high energy density, light in weight, good flexibility, compact in size, low interfacial resistance at the interface of electrodes, economical, and have longer lifespans, which are pertinent to their applications in advances of current device technology and innovation in futuristic technologies. [1][2][3][4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] SPEs are created by incorporating an appropriate amount of suitable alkali metal salt into different polymer host matrices, and when the salt concentration exceeds the weight of the polymer in the composition, they are termed polymer-in-salt (PiS) electrolytes. A variety of semicrystalline and amorphous polymers, including poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), poly(propylene oxide) (PPO), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) are most common and frequently utilized as host matrices in the preparation of high performance SPEs.…”

[3][4][5][6]8,9,13,[16][17][18][19][20][21] Additionally, the PEO is linear chain polymer renowned for being almost non-toxic, biocompatible, water-soluble, and easily processable with the features of high energy density, low glass transition temperature, and high dielectric constant.…”

“…However, the domains of the crystalline phase of the PEO matrix exhibit poor conductive medium for the ions, resulting in some reduced ionic conductivity at ambient temperature, while the amorphous phase largely supports the ion transport mechanism in the SPEs. 2,5,6,8,12,[17][18][19][20][21][22][25][26][27] Moreover, several SPEs do not have sufficient parameyers values of their important properties necessarily required for the practical applications, such as high dielectric permittivity, good mechanical and thermal stabilities, a wide electrochemical stability window, total ion transference number near the unity, negligible contribution of electronic conduction, and fast charging rate. [2][3][4][5]8,9,[17][18][19][20]25,26 To overcome these limitations for the enhancement of properties, various strategies including the blending of polymer matrix with other polymers, cross-linking, and grafting, and also the addition of some nanomaterials and polar plasticizers with different state-of-the-art sample preparation methods have been frequently adopted in getting high performance advanced SPEs.…”
