As glasses are one of the potential fast ion-conducting electrolytes, progressive advances in glassy electrolytes have been undergoing to get commercial attention. However, the challenges offered by ionic conductivity at room temperature (10<sup>−5</sup> - 10<sup>−3</sup> S∙cm<sup>−1</sup>) in comparison to those of organic liquid electrolytes (10<sup>−2</sup> S∙cm<sup>−1</sup>) hindered the applicability of such electrolytes. To enhance the research development on ionic conductivity, the overall picture of the ionic conductivity of glassy electrolytes is reviewed in this article with a focus on alkali oxide and sulfide glasses.

Although solid-state electrolytes(SSEs) can solve these inherent problems of LEs, the ionic conductivity of most SSEs is several magnitudes lower than these of LEs. Herein, we report a novel strategy by building liquid ion-transport channels in a solid framework and prepared an electrolyte-locked separator(ELS) using a collagen fiber membrane(CFm). The liquid electrolyte was primarily infiltrated in the smaller voids of CFm, and its ionic conductivity could attain to 9.0×10-3 S cm-1 when the electrolyte absorption(EA) reached up to 112.0%. After centrifuging treatment, the electrolyte retentions(ER) and ionic conductivities of ELS were 108.93% and 8.37×10-3 S cm-1, respectively, which were much higher than those of commercial cellulose separator(CS), exerting excellent liquid-locking performances. In particular, the electrical double-layer capacitors(EDLC) assembled by ELS or CS were characterized and exhibited similar electrochemical performance,demonstrating the satisfactory ability and applicability of ELS for commercial use. In addition, the ELSbased EDLC exhibited favorable flexibility with relative lower loss of capacitance under different angles of bending.展开更多

Here we investigated olivine ionic conductivity at 4 GPa, as a function of temperature, crystallographic orientation, and oxygen fugacity, corresponding to the topmost asthenospheric conditions. The results demonstrate that the ionic conductivity is insensitive to f_(O2) under relatively reduced conditions(f_(O2) below Re-ReO_(2) buffer), whereas it has a clear f_(O2)-dependence under relatively oxidized conditions(f_(O2) around the magnetite-hematite buffer). The ionic conduction in olivine may contribute significantly to the conductivity anomaly in the topmost asthenosphere especially at relatively oxidized conditions.展开更多

The gels were analysed by using Fourier transform infrared spectrum, gel fraction and ionic conductivity (IC) measurement. The results show that the gel is crosslinked by EB irradiation, the crosslinking degree rises with the increasing EB irradiation dose (ID) and the mass percents of both PAN and PEO contribute a lot to the crosslinking; in addition, EB irradiation can promote the IC of PAN-PEO gels. There exists an optimum irradiation dose, at which the IC can increase dramatically. The IC changes of the PAN-PEO gels along with ID are divided into three regions: IC rapidly increasing region, IC decreasing region and IC balanced region. The cause of the change can be ascribed to two aspects, gel capturing electron degree and crosslinking degree. By comparing the IC-ID curves of different mass percents of PAN and PEO in gel, we found that PAN plays a more important role for gel IC promotion than PEO, since addition of PAN in gel causes the IC-ID curve sharper, while addition of PEO in gel causes the curve milder.展开更多

Their conductivity depends deeply on salt content, ambient temperature and negative charge number of the added salts. Results show that anions can be partly immobilized by increasing their negative charges at lower temperature. Against discharge time the short circuit current of the battery (Li/complex film/Li_x V_3O_8) is stabilized by increasing the anionic charge number of the complex.展开更多

The dependence of conductivity was investigated as a function of salt content, composition and temperature. It has been revealed that a maximum of conductivity appeared when EO/Li=25, where EO denotes the—(CH_2CH_2O)-unit in polyethylene glycol, and that the temperature dependence of conductivity followed VTF equation, suggesting that the motion of ionic carriers resulted from the segmental motion of the polymer. When glycerol epoxy resin was used instead of bisphenol A epoxy, the ambient temperature (25℃) conductivity could somewhat further be raised up to 3×10^(-5) S/cm.展开更多

In this' system the electrolyte has a pecularity that not merely can the LiClO_4 provide ionic carriers, but also catalyze the crosslinking reaction without adding an usual curing agent. The effect of salt content and degree of crosslinking on the viscoelasticity and ionic conductivity were studied. Both WLF and VTF equations were used to treat the experimental data in order to elucidate the mechanism of ionic conduction. It was found that the ionic conductivity of the system is carded out through the segmental motion mechanism. However, the data must be treated with care. For example, in evaluating WLF parameters, the contribution concerned with ionic carrier generation with temperature to the conductivity must be differentiated from that concerned with segmental motion. Besides, the temperature range suitable to WLF equation must also be considered. For VTF equation, it might be inapplicable ff the temperature is too low and close to the glass transition temperature of the specimen. Further study is needed in order to have a quantitative information on the limitation of these equations.展开更多

The dependence of log resistivity as well as the activation energy on the PbO content has been studied. Based on the present experimental results, the possible different conduction mechanisms in such glasses are discussed. It was postulated that Pb2+ ions may represent the major charge carrying species in these glasses. This assumption was confirmed by the calculations of the mean distance between the interstitial Pb2+ ions and the effective center of the O2- ions in the glass networks. The variation in the values of the density and the molar volume with PbO content is also discussed in view of the obtained activation energies for the studied glass-systems.展开更多

The cell parameters a, c and values of c/a decrease with the increasing of the substitution amount (3 x ) of lithium ion. Cationic vacancies are getting more as Li + concentration is lower. The diffusion of lithium ion is predominant. The concentration of charge carriers increases with increasing the substitution amount (3 x ) of lithium ion, meanwhile, the concentration of cationic vacancies decreases. The conductivity approaches the best when the substitution amount (3 x ) of lithium ion is about 0.3. The conductivity of La 0.567 Li 0.3 MoO 4 is 6.5×10 -6 S·cm -1 at room temperature.展开更多

Rietveld analysis of the powder XRD patterns reveals that Mg substitution on Si site results in significant enlargement of channel triangles, favoring oxide-ion conduction. Furthermore, an increase of Mg concentration significantly influences the linear density of interstitial oxygen, which plays an important role in ionic conductivity. The Arrhenius plots of LaloSi6_xMgxO27 x (x = 0-0.4) suggest that Mg-doped samples present higher conductivity and lower activation energy than non-doped La10Si6027, and LaloSis.8Mgo.2026.8 exhibits the highest conductivity with a value of 3.0× 10-2 S .cm 1 at 700 ℃. Such conductive behavior agrees well with the refined results. The corresponding mechanism has been discussed in this paper.展开更多

文摘Solid electrolyte(SE)is the most crucial factor to fabricate safe and high-performance all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries.However,the most commonly reported SE,including solid polymer electrolyte(SPE)and inorganic oxides and sulfides,suffer problems of low ionic conductivity at room temperature for SPE and large interfacial impedance with electrodes for inorganic electrolytes.Here we for the first time demonstrate a novel ionic plastic crystal lithium salt solid electrolyte(OLiSSE)fast ion-conductor dilithium(1,3-diethyl-4,5-dicarboxylate)imidazole bromide with ordered Li-ion conductive nanopathways and an exceptional ionic conductivity of 4.4×10^(−3)Scm^(−1)at 30℃.The prepared OLiSSE exhibits apparent characters of typical ionic plastic crystals in the temperature range of−20 to 70℃,and shows remarkable thermal stability and electrochemical stability below 150℃ and 4.7 V,respectively.No lithium dendrite or short circuit behavior is detected for the Li|OLiSSE|Li cell after the galvanostatic charge-discharge test for 500 h.The fabricated Li|OLiSSE|LiFePO_(4) all-solid-state cell without using any separator and liquid plasticizer directly delivers an initial discharge capacity of 151.4 mAh g^(−1) at the discharge rate of 0.1 C,and shows excellent charge-discharge cycle stability,implying large potential application in the next generation of safe and flexible all-solid-state lithium batteries.

文摘Different mass percent polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-polyethylene oxide (PEO) gels were prepared and irradiated by an electron beam (EB) with energy of 1.0 MeV to the dose ranging from 13 kGy to 260 kGy. The gels were analysed by using Fourier transform infrared spectrum, gel fraction and ionic conductivity (IC) measurement. The results show that the gel is crosslinked by EB irradiation, the crosslinking degree rises with the increasing EB irradiation dose (ID) and the mass percents of both PAN and PEO contribute a lot to the crosslinking; in addition, EB irradiation can promote the IC of PAN-PEO gels. There exists an optimum irradiation dose, at which the IC can increase dramatically. The IC changes of the PAN-PEO gels along with ID are divided into three regions: IC rapidly increasing region, IC decreasing region and IC balanced region. The cause of the change can be ascribed to two aspects, gel capturing electron degree and crosslinking degree. By comparing the IC-ID curves of different mass percents of PAN and PEO in gel, we found that PAN plays a more important role for gel IC promotion than PEO, since addition of PAN in gel causes the IC-ID curve sharper, while addition of PEO in gel causes the curve milder.
文摘Complexes of comb-shaped polyether and lithium aromatic sulfonates bearing different negative charge number were prepared by in situ thermal polymerization. Their conductivity depends deeply on salt content, ambient temperature and negative charge number of the added salts. Results show that anions can be partly immobilized by increasing their negative charges at lower temperature. Against discharge time the short circuit current of the battery (Li/complex film/Li_x V_3O_8) is stabilized by increasing the anionic charge number of the complex.
文摘Polymer electrolytes based on poly (methylsiloxane-g-ethylene oxide) and LiClO_4 have been prepared. The network films crosslinked by a crosslinking agent are found to exhibit a considerably high ionic conductivity of about 10^(-4) Scm^(-1) at room temperature and have good flexibility.

文摘In an attempt to prepare a polymeric solid electrolyte with both high ionic conductivity at ambient temperature and adequate mechanical strength, an ionic conducting IPN composed of bisphenol A epoxy resin/polyethylene glycol containing LiClO_4 was synthesized. The dependence of conductivity was investigated as a function of salt content, composition and temperature. It has been revealed that a maximum of conductivity appeared when EO/Li=25, where EO denotes the—(CH_2CH_2O)-unit in polyethylene glycol, and that the temperature dependence of conductivity followed VTF equation, suggesting that the motion of ionic carriers resulted from the segmental motion of the polymer. When glycerol epoxy resin was used instead of bisphenol A epoxy, the ambient temperature (25℃) conductivity could somewhat further be raised up to 3×10^(-5) S/cm.

文摘Polymeric solid electrolyte system composed of triglycidyl ether of glycerol (TGEG), diglycidyl ether of polyethylene glycol (DGEPEG)and LiClO_4 salt were synthesized. In this' system the electrolyte has a pecularity that not merely can the LiClO_4 provide ionic carriers, but also catalyze the crosslinking reaction without adding an usual curing agent. The effect of salt content and degree of crosslinking on the viscoelasticity and ionic conductivity were studied. Both WLF and VTF equations were used to treat the experimental data in order to elucidate the mechanism of ionic conduction. It was found that the ionic conductivity of the system is carded out through the segmental motion mechanism. However, the data must be treated with care. For example, in evaluating WLF parameters, the contribution concerned with ionic carrier generation with temperature to the conductivity must be differentiated from that concerned with segmental motion. Besides, the temperature range suitable to WLF equation must also be considered. For VTF equation, it might be inapplicable ff the temperature is too low and close to the glass transition temperature of the specimen. Further study is needed in order to have a quantitative information on the limitation of these equations.
文摘Conductivity of glasses in the systems SiO2.PbO.RO, (where R=Ca, Sr or Ba) was investigated between room temperature and 530 K. The dependence of log resistivity as well as the activation energy on the PbO content has been studied. Based on the present experimental results, the possible different conduction mechanisms in such glasses are discussed. It was postulated that Pb2+ ions may represent the major charge carrying species in these glasses. This assumption was confirmed by the calculations of the mean distance between the interstitial Pb2+ ions and the effective center of the O2- ions in the glass networks. The variation in the values of the density and the molar volume with PbO content is also discussed in view of the obtained activation energies for the studied glass-systems.
文摘Poly (β-carboxyethylmethylsiloxane)-LiClO_4 and poly (β-alkoxylethylmethylsiloxane)-LiClO_4 crosslinked fllms have been prepared. The ionic conductivity of the films depends on the polymer species, concentration of lithium perchlorate, temperature and content of crosslinking agent. The effect of high polar organic solvent 1, 4-butyrolactone on the ionic conductivity and mechanical properties of poly (β-carhoxyethylmethylsiloxane )-LiClO_4 system was also investignied.
文摘Li 2+ x RE x Si 1- x O 3(RE=Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd; x =0~0 15) samples were prepared by the sol gel method. DTA TG, XRD, TEM and A C impedance techniques were used to investigate the structure, shape, and ionic conductivity of these samples. The results show that the range of solid solution formation is in 0< x ≤0 09, in which the conductivity of these samples raises with the increasing amount of RE 2O 3 (RE=Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) added, and the diameter of the powders is about 100 nm. Compared with the conventional solid state reaction, the sol gel method needs low temperature and presents high ionic conductivity.
文摘A series of compounds, La 2/3- x Li 3 x MoO 4, were first prepared. Their structures are tetragonal scheelites with the cationic defects. The cell parameters a, c and values of c/a decrease with the increasing of the substitution amount (3 x ) of lithium ion. Cationic vacancies are getting more as Li + concentration is lower. The diffusion of lithium ion is predominant. The concentration of charge carriers increases with increasing the substitution amount (3 x ) of lithium ion, meanwhile, the concentration of cationic vacancies decreases. The conductivity approaches the best when the substitution amount (3 x ) of lithium ion is about 0.3. The conductivity of La 0.567 Li 0.3 MoO 4 is 6.5×10 -6 S·cm -1 at room temperature.

文摘Lanthanum silicates LaloSi6 xMgxO27_x (x = 0-0.4) were prepared by solid state synthesis to investigate the effect of Mg doping on crystal structure and ionic conductivity. Rietveld analysis of the powder XRD patterns reveals that Mg substitution on Si site results in significant enlargement of channel triangles, favoring oxide-ion conduction. Furthermore, an increase of Mg concentration significantly influences the linear density of interstitial oxygen, which plays an important role in ionic conductivity. The Arrhenius plots of LaloSi6_xMgxO27 x (x = 0-0.4) suggest that Mg-doped samples present higher conductivity and lower activation energy than non-doped La10Si6027, and LaloSis.8Mgo.2026.8 exhibits the highest conductivity with a value of 3.0× 10-2 S .cm 1 at 700 ℃. Such conductive behavior agrees well with the refined results. The corresponding mechanism has been discussed in this paper.

文摘As the next generation of commercial automotive power batteries begins replacing liquid lithium batteries,many look towards all-solid-state batteries to pioneer the future.All-so lid-state batteries have attracted the attention of countless researchers around the world because of their high safety and high energy density.In recent times,halide solid-state electrolytes have become a research hotspot within solid-state electrolytes because of their potentially superior properties.In this paper,in the framework of DFT,we investigated the atomic mechanisms of improving the ionic conductivity and stability of Li_(3)YbCl_(6).Our calculations show that both trigonal and orthorhombic Li_(3)YbCl_(6) exhibit wide electrochemical windows and metastable properties(100 meV/atom>Ehull>0 meV/atom).However,the orthorhombic Li_(3)YbCl_(6) can be stabilized at high temperatures by taking the vibrational entropy into account,which is supported by the experimental results.Moreover,it is expected that because of the Yb/Li synergistic interactions that,due to their strong mutual coulomb repulsion,influence the Li^(+)transport behavior,the orthorhombic Li_(3)YbCl_(6) might have superior ionic conductivities with appropriate Li+migration paths determined by the Yb^(3+) distribution.Also,higher ionic conductivities can be obtained by regulating the random distribution of Li^(+) ions.Further Li^(+)-deficiency can also largely increase the ionic conductivity by invoking vacancies.This study helps gain a deeper understanding of the laws that govern ionic conductivities and stabilities and provides a certain theoretical reference for the experimental development and design of halide solid-state electrolytes.
