Abstract
The invention provides a PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite material, an electrolyte, a lithium-air battery anode and a preparation method thereof, wherein the PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite material comprises 60-85 wt% of ternary cross-linked polymer and 15-40 wt% of inorganic ceramic powder, which are filled in the ternary cross-linked polymer, based on the weight of the PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite material; wherein the raw materials of the ternary crosslinked polymer comprise: 40-60 wt% of polyethylene oxide, 25-40 wt% of polyethylene glycol diacrylate and 10-30 wt% of divinylbenzene based on the weight of the ternary crosslinked polymer, wherein the particle size D90 of the inorganic ceramic powder is 0.5-5 microns. The PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite and the electrolyte of the present invention have high electrical conductivity and mechanical properties.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium air batteries, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite material, an electrolyte and a battery anode.
Background
A lithium air battery is a battery that uses lithium as the negative electrode and oxygen as the positive electrode reactant. The lithium air battery has a higher energy density than the lithium ion battery. In general, lithium air batteries can be classified into six types: an organic system, a water system, an ionic liquid system, an organic-water dual-electrolyte system, an all-solid system and a lithium-air super capacitor battery.
Liquid lithium-air batteries such as organic systems, water systems, dual-electrolyte organic-water systems, etc. have the disadvantages of easy leakage, large influence of gravity on the working state, etc. In order to solve these disadvantages, solid electrolytes have been developed, and among them, polymer electrolytes represented by PEO have been eagerly studied because of their excellent lithium ion conductivity and good chemical stability.
However, pure PEO has insufficient mechanical strength and poor molecular chain activity, which has an effect on the transport of lithium ions, limiting its application in lithium air batteries.
Thus, there remains a need for modification treatments for PEO polymer electrolytes to enhance their performance.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention is directed to a PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite, an electrolyte, a positive electrode for a lithium air battery, and a method for preparing the same, which have high electrical conductivity and mechanical properties.
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme.
In a first aspect, the present invention provides a PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite, wherein the PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite comprises, based on the weight of the PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite, 60 to 85 wt% of a ternary crosslinked polymer and 15 to 40 wt% of an inorganic ceramic powder, the inorganic ceramic powder being filled in the ternary crosslinked polymer; wherein the raw materials of the ternary crosslinked polymer comprise: 40-60 wt% of polyethylene oxide (PEO), 25-40 wt% of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) and 10-30 wt% of Divinylbenzene (DVB) based on the weight of the ternary crosslinked polymer, wherein the particle size D90 of the inorganic ceramic powder is 0.5-5 microns.
The inventor finds that PEGDA and DVB are used as cross-linking agents, so that PEO, PEGDA and DVB form a ternary cross-linked structure, inorganic ceramic powder is filled, the mechanical strength is improved, and an electrolyte formed after the PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite material is soaked in the electrolyte has high conductivity. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the crosslinking copolymerization inhibits crystallization of PEO, increases the mobility of PEO segments, and further increases the activity of conducting lithium ions, and the mechanical strength of the resulting ternary crosslinked polymer is greatly increased by the crosslinking of the polymer. Further, inorganic ceramic powder is filled in the ternary cross-linked polymer, so that the mechanical strength can be further improved, pores can be formed at the boundary of the ternary cross-linked polymer, the ternary cross-linked polymer filled with the inorganic ceramic powder can fully absorb electrolyte, the conductivity is further improved, the electrolyte is absorbed and filled, and the problem of too fast volatilization of the electrolyte can be avoided due to the adsorption effect.
According to the present invention, there is provided a PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite material, wherein polyethylene oxide (PEO) has a structure represented by formula I:
wherein m is a natural number.
In the present invention, polyethylene oxide known in the art may be used. The polyethylene oxide may have a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 1,000,000 g/mol. In some embodiments, the polyethylene oxide may have a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 800,000g/mol, and in some embodiments 400,000 to 600,000 g/mol.

The ohmic resistance of the material was measured from the impedance line shown in FIG. 2, and the conductivity was calculated to be 4.92X 10-5S cm-1. Meanwhile, according to the battery test shown in fig. 3, the battery made of the electrolyte material has a stable voltage platform of 2.75V when being discharged.
The electrical conductivity of the PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite prepared in example 1 was measured. PEO/PEGDA/DVB crosslinked film without inorganic ceramic powder added was prepared as a control according to the method of example 1, which was infiltrated with the same amount of electrolyte.
The results showed that the PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite prepared in example 1 had an electrical conductivity of 4.92X 10-5S cm-1While the conductivity of the PEO/PEGDA/DVB crosslinked film was 1.24X 10-7S cm-1。
The same method was used to measure the electrical conductivity of the PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite materials prepared in examples 2-3 and the PEO/PEGDA/DVB crosslinked films according to their respective methods without the addition of the inorganic ceramic powder. The PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite prepared in example 2 had a conductivity of 3.78X 10-5S cm-1While the conductivity of the PEO/PEGDA/DVB crosslinked film was 1.18X 10-7S cm-1. The PEO-based polymer/ceramic composite prepared in example 3 had a conductivity of 4.36X 10-5S cm-1While the conductivity of the PEO/PEGDA/DVB crosslinked film was 1.32X 10-7S cm-1。
Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the PEO/PEGDA/DVB cross-linked film has reduced segmental mobility due to cross-linking and is too dense internally, and the electrolyte that can actually be absorbed (adsorbed) has a small mass and low ionic conductivity.

Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
