AI Technical Summary
Existing PEO electrolytes suffer from poor contact with the electrodes and low ion transport, which affects the safety and performance of solid-state batteries.
A functionalized lanthanum hydroxide composite PEO-based solid electrolyte was prepared by combining La(OH)3-NH2 nanofibers modified with functional groups with a PEO matrix. The TFSI- anion in LiTFSI is captured by oxygen vacancies on the surface of La(OH)3-NH2 nanofibers, which restricts its movement and increases the degree of freedom of Li+ movement. The electron-donating group –NH2 restricts the movement of TFSI- and promotes the rapid migration of Li+.
It significantly improves the ion mobility and lithium ion migration rate of PEO-based solid electrolytes, lowers the melting point of solid electrolytes, improves the problem of poor electrode contact, and enhances the cycle performance of batteries at high rates.

Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing a PEO-based solid electrolyte. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have garnered significant market attention due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and high charge / discharge rate, and have become the most widely used electrochemical energy storage technology. Traditional lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes, which pose risks of leakage, flammability, and even explosion. Solid-state batteries, with their solid electrolytes, can replace the liquid electrolytes and separators in traditional lithium-ion batteries, improving battery safety. The development of lithium-ion battery electrolytes towards solid-state and high thermal stability further enhances battery safety, potentially addressing battery safety issues at their source.
[0003] In solid polymer electrolytes, the ether-based repeating units of PEO solid polymer electrolytes exhibit good lithium-ion transport capacity and good compatibility with metallic lithium. However, existing PEO electrolytes still suffer from poor contact with the electrode, low ion transport, and interfacial instability, which are problems that need to be addressed in solid-state batteries. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, it lowers the melting point of the solid electrolyte to below 50°C, significantly increasing the disorder of the solid electrolyte under 60°C battery operating conditions and improving the problem of poor electrode contact, thus facilitating lithium ion migration.
[0007] 2. Functional La(OH)3–NH2 nanofibers were prepared using a traditional and simple method. On the one hand, the oxygen vacancies on the surface of La(OH)3–NH2 nanofibers can capture TFSI in LiTFSI. - Anions, therefore can increase Li + The degree of freedom of movement promotes Li + Rapid migration of cations at the solid / solid interface; on the other hand, the introduction of functional electron-donating groups limits TFSI. - The movement of these molecules significantly increases the migration rate of lithium ions.
