Solid electrolytes are of high interest for the development of advanced electrochemical energy storage devices with all-solid-state architectures. Here, we report the fabrication of the electrolyte membranes based on LiTFSI (LiN(CF3SO2)(2)) and PEO-PVDF blends with improved properties. We show that addition of PVDF enables preparation of free-standing films of the compositions within the so called crystallinity gap of the LiTFSI-PEO system known to provide high ion conductivity. We show that optimal PVDF content enables preparation of the films with reasonable elastic modulus and high ionic conductivity of about 0.3 mS cm(-1) at 60 degrees C and about 0.1 mS cm(-1) at room-temperature. Combining FTIR spectroscopy, XRD and DSC measurements we show that a noticeable fraction of PVDF remains crystalline and enhances the mechanical properties of the material, and at the same time it additionally promotes LiTFSI dissociation and disordering. Density functional theory calculations showed that the Li+-PEO-PVDF complexation energy magnitude is almost as high as that of Li-PEO complexes, thus the salt dissociation ability can be retained in spite of the introduction of the substantial amounts of PVDF required for mechanical stability.
