A composite PEO electrolyte with amide-based polymer matrix for suppressing lithium dendrite growth in all-solid-state lithium battery

The lithium dendrite growth is still a serious challenge and impeding the realistic applications of all-solid-state lithium batteries.In view of the amide containing sediment layer can be stable on lithium/cathodes,a composite polymer electrolyte with amide-based matrix is in-situ built on porous electrodes.With the introduction of amide,the polymer electrolyte presents excellent ability to inhibit lithium dendrite growth and makes the Li/Li symmetric battery stably work for 500 h with a good ionic conductivity of 4.25×10^(-5)S/cm at 40℃.The solid electrolyte also shows a wide electrochemical stable window and good interface contact with the porous cathode.Utilizing this composite polymer electrolyte,the all-solid-state Li/LiFePO_(4) battery shows an initial discharge capacity of 146.5 mA h/g at 0.1 C under 40℃ and remains 81.4%in 100 cycles.The polymer electrolyte also can present better properties after modification.These results demonstrate that the presented PA-based composite polymer electrolyte could be served as a good electrolyte candidate for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries.
