Network ionic polymer composite with organic ionic plastic crystal as an ion conducting material
摘要
Ionic polymers are promising electrolyte materials but have inherent limitations when used alone. In this study, flexible network ionic polymer supports were prepared from a piperidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide-based ionic monomer, n-butyl acrylate, and ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA). Composite electrolytes were fabricated by incorporating the organic ionic plastic crystal 1,2-bis(N-methylpiperidinium)ethane bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide and lithium bis(fluoro-sulfonyl)imide (LiFSI). The composite with a polymer-to-salt ratio of 7:3 and an OIPC-to-LiFSI ratio of 7:3 exhibited the highest ionic conductivity of 5.28 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 30 °C, which is more than ten times higher than that of the polymer containing only LiFSI. The composites were thermally stable up to 200 °C and electrochemically stable up to 5.5 V. demonstrating that introducing OIPC into a network ionic polymer matrix enhances ionic conductivity while maintaining stability and flexibility of polymer electrolyte materials.

One of the ionic composites with a polymer-to-salt ratio of 7:3 exhibits the highest ionic conductivity of 5.28 × 10−5 S cm−1 at 30 °C. They are thermally stable up to 200 °C and electrochemical stable up to 5.5 V, and can be a good candidate for polymer electrolyte systems of lithium secondary batteries.
