Characterisation of micro polymer inclusion beads by thermogravimetric analysis

Regulating Conductive Copolymerization Networks in the Polymer Electrolyte for High-Performance Quasi-Solid-State Lithium–Metal Batteries

“…TGA was conducted to further detect the thermal stability of each PVDF-HFP-matrix electrolyte membrane, as shown in Figure c. TGA thermogram of pure PVDF-HFP-F membrane reflects no signs of degradation until 460 °C, but it has a single-step rapid weight loss due to pyrolysis of the PVDF-HFP backbones and almost no residual solvent in this sample . Both PPA x samples start to degrade at lower temperatures than the pristine membrane and have different decomposition stages because the introduced copolymer plasticizers deteriorate their thermal stabilities.…”

“…However, in the case of µPIBs, additional acidification of the NaCl desolvation and delivery solutions was necessary to prevent D 2 EHPA carrier leaching. In subsequent research, Croft et al [74], while characterizing micro polymer inclusion beads using thermogravimetric analysis, discovered, inter alia, that the presence of Na + in both PVC and PVDF-HFP based µPIBs negatively influenced the extraction efficiency of La(III) ions. In that study, they also found that this adverse process can be prevented, e.g., by washing the µPIBs with 1 M sulfuric acid after their formulation to remove the undesirable Na + ions.…”
