The role of inorganic nanoparticle on ion conduction of epoxy-based solid polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries

초록

Recently, extensive efforts have focused on the development of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) requiring high mechanical performance without sacrificing ion conductivity. To develop such a SPE, we incorporate robust silica mesoporous particles (SMP) into the epoxy-based SPEs, and increasing the SMP content raises the glass transition temperature of the SPEs. This enables to increase the mechanical properties of the SPEs, supported by the microstructural investigation showing a highly compact structure. Ionic conductivities of these SPEs follow Vogel temperature dependence, and increasing the silica nanoparticle content leads to a slight decrease in the conductivity, consistent with the dielectric response investigation.
