Molecular composite electrolytes of polybenzimidazole/polyethylene oxide with enhanced safety and comprehensive performance for all-solid-state lithium ion batteries

Qinghui Zhang et al.

Summary: A solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) based on a molecular composite of aromatic polybenzimidazole (PBI) and PEO is proposed to address the issues of low ionic conductivity and potential safety hazards in PEO-based electrolytes. The strong intermolecular interactions effectively inhibit PEO crystallization and significantly improve the modulus, strength, and ionic conductivity of the electrolyte. Additionally, thermal stability and flame retardancy are also enhanced, making the PBI/PEO electrolyte a promising candidate for safe and high-performance all-solid-state lithium ion batteries.

Thermodynamic understanding the phase behavior of fully quaternized poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) block copolymers

Ze-Kun Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, high charge density PEO-b-QP4VP-X BCPs were prepared by full quaternization of the P4VP block in neutral PEO-b-P4VP BCP. The phase separation behavior of PEO-b-QP4VP-X BCPs was found to be strongly dependent on the counterion species. The phase behavior was explained using a thermodynamic mechanism, in which the competition of delta(chi 1), delta chi Born, and chi(gamma) dominates the change tendency of phase behavior.
