Universal F4-Modified Strategy on Metal-Organic Framework to Chemical Stabilize PVDF-HFP as Quasi-Solid-State Electrolyte.

Abstract

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) based on metal organic framework (MOF) and polymer mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) have shown great promotions in both lithium-ion conduction and interfacial resistance in lithium metal batteries (LMBs). However, the unwanted structural evolution and the and the obscure electrochemical reaction mechanism among two phases limit their further optimization and commercial application. Herein, fluorine-modified zirconium MOF with diverse F-quantities is synthesized, denoted as Zr-BDC-Fx (x = 0, 2, 4), to assemble high performance quais-solid-state electrolytes (QSSEs) with PVDF-HFP. The chemical complexation of F-sites in Zr-BDC-F4 stabilized PVDF-HFP chains in β-phase and disordered oscillation with enhanced charge transfer and Li transmit property. Besides, the porous confinement and electronegativity of F-groups enhanced the capture and dissociation of TFSI- anions and the homogeneous deposition of LiF solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), promoting the high-efficient transport of Li+ ions and inhibiting the growth of Li dendrites. The superb specific capacities in high-loaded Li.
