Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes provide high safety and good electrochemical stability in solid-state lithium batteries (SSLBs) compared with conventional liquid electrolytes. In this work, a novel solid polymer composite electrolyte based on poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) filled with rod-like Zn2(OH)BO3 particles was prepared by a grinding process followed with a heating treatment process and a cold pressing process. The effect of the incorporation amount of rod-like Zn2(OH)BO3 particles on the ionic conductivity was investigated systemically. It is found that 10 mol% of rod-like Zn2(OH)BO3 particles addition resulted in a highest ionic conductivity of 2.78 × 10−5 at 30 °C and the improved ionic conductivity was considered to be caused by the reducing of PEO crystallinity and the increasing of Li ion migrating pathway on the interface between the Zn2(OH)BO3 and PEO. In addition, the optimum composite electrolyte exhibited a high electrochemical stability window of 4.51 V (vs. Li/Li+), good lithium stability and excellent thermal stability.
