Solid-state electrolytes, with their advantages of non-flammability, high thermal stability, and good mechanical properties, have been proven to effectively address safety concerns and improve energy density in lithium-ion batteries when used as a substitute for liquid electrolytes. Polyethylene oxide (PEO), with its low cost and good compatibility with lithium metal, is considered a promising polymer electrolyte matrix.

[0088] Performance testing
[0089] 1. X-ray diffraction analysis
[0090] X-ray diffraction analysis was performed on unmodified PEO and the polymer matrix "PEO-Spiro" prepared in Examples 1 to 4 for comparison. The results are shown in Example 1 as an example. Figure 1 As shown, the diffraction peaks of PEO-Spiro are consistent with those of PEO, indicating that the modified PEO-Spiro maintains the same long-chain structure as PEO, with the only difference being the replacement of functional groups at both ends.
[0091] 2. Fluorescence property test
[0092] Figure 2 (a) is a photograph of the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Examples 1 to 4, irradiated with ultraviolet light, and the results are as follows. Figure 2 As shown in (b), the polymer electrolyte membrane is composed of Figure 2 (a) The pale green color turned into Figure 2 (b) The cyan-blue color indicates that the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in this invention has fluorescent properties and can exhibit fluorescence under ultraviolet light excitation.
[0093] 3. Research on non-destructive testing methods based on fluorescence properties
[0094] In an Ar glove box, the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 was cut into 16mm round pieces and placed between two lithium sheets. By applying different pressing pressures, a lithium symmetric battery "Sample A" with poor solid-solid interface contact and a lithium symmetric battery "Sample B" with tight solid-solid interface contact were obtained.
[0095] 3-1) Place the two samples mentioned above in the bright field imaging mode of the microscope for imaging observation.
[0096] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The two sides are lithium metal, and the black part in the middle is the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI". The results show that under the bright field image of the optical microscope, it is impossible to determine the degree of contact between the polymer electrolyte membrane and the electrode of the two samples.
[0097] 3-2) The two assembled lithium symmetric batteries were placed in the fluorescence mode of a microscope for imaging observation.
[0098] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The images show the bright-field fluorescence images of the two samples under ultraviolet light excitation. In fluorescence optical image (a), a black gap can be clearly seen between the lithium electrode and the polymer electrolyte membrane of "sample A", which has poor solid-solid interface contact. In fluorescence optical image (b), no obvious black gap can be seen between the lithium electrode and the polymer electrolyte membrane of "sample B", which has tight solid-solid interface contact.
[0099] In summary, the battery product incorporating the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" of the present invention can be tested by irradiating the product with ultraviolet light under the fluorescence mode of a microscope. The tightness of the bond between the polymer electrolyte membrane and the electrode can be determined by observing whether there are black gaps at the solid interface, or by observing changes at the interface. This is a non-destructive testing method.
[0100] 4. Room temperature ionic conductivity test
[0101] In an Ar glove box, the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and the electrolyte membrane "PEO-LiTFSI" prepared in Comparative Example 1 were cut into 10 mm round pieces and then placed between two stainless steel pieces to form a blocking electrode as a test sample.
[0102] The test samples were subjected to AC impedance testing on an electrochemical workstation at a frequency range of 1MHz to 0.1Hz to obtain the room temperature ionic conductivity of the test samples.
[0103] Test results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, the electrolyte membrane of Comparative Example 1 has a lower room temperature ionic conductivity than that of Examples 1 to 4. This means that the "PEO-Spiro" modified with the end groups of this invention not only imparts fluorescent properties to the polymer electrolyte membrane but also improves the room temperature ionic conductivity of the PEO polymer electrolyte membrane, thus enhancing its electrochemical performance. On the other hand, from... Figure 5 It can be seen from the molar ratio EO∶Li + When the lithium salt addition ratio is 13:1, the polymer electrolyte membrane exhibits the best room temperature ionic conductivity.
[0104] 5. Electrochemical window testing
[0105] In an Ar glove box, the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 was cut into 10 mm round pieces and placed between stainless steel and lithium sheets for battery assembly. Then, the battery was subjected to linear scanning voltammetry curve testing using an electrochemical workstation. The test potential range was 0 V to 6.55 V, and the scan rate was 1 m V / s.
[0106] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, the electrochemical window of the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 reaches more than 5V, indicating that the "PEO-Spiro" modified by the end group of the present invention effectively improves the electrochemical window of the polymer electrolyte membrane.
[0107] 6. Cyclic performance test
[0108] In an Ar glove box, the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 and the electrolyte membrane "PEO-LiTFSI" prepared in Comparative Example 1 were both cut into 16mm round pieces and then placed between two lithium sheets to form lithium symmetric batteries.
[0109] Cyclic performance testing was conducted using the Land testing system at a current density of 0.1 mA / cm². 2 The test process involves alternating between charging and discharging every half hour.
[0110] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the lithium symmetric battery using the polymer electrolyte membrane prepared in Example 2 remained stable after 400 hours of cycling without short circuit. The lithium symmetric battery using the electrolyte membrane of Comparative Example 1, as shown in the figure, experienced a short circuit. This indicates that the "PEO-Spiro" modified by the end group of the present invention effectively improves the cycling performance of the polymer electrolyte membrane.
[0111] 6. Limiting Current Density Test
[0112] In an Ar glove box, the polymer electrolyte membrane "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 and the electrolyte membrane "PEO-LiTFSI" prepared in Comparative Example 1 were both cut into 16mm round pieces and then placed between two lithium sheets to form lithium symmetric batteries.
[0113] The limiting current density was tested in the Land test system.
[0114] Figure 8 This is a graph showing the cycling performance of the lithium symmetric battery prepared in Example 2 at different current densities. Figure 9 The graph shows the cycling performance of the lithium symmetric battery prepared in Comparative Example 1 at different current densities, for comparison. Figure 8 and Figure 9 It can be seen that the limiting current density of the polymer electrolyte membrane prepared in Example 2 is 1.0 mA / cm². 2 The limiting current density of the electrolyte membrane in Comparative Example 1 is only 0.5 mA / cm². 2 The stable cycling time was no more than 100 hours, which is significantly different from Example 2, indicating that the PEO-Spiro modified with end groups in this invention can effectively increase the limiting current density of the polymer electrolyte membrane.
[0115] 7. Cycle performance testing of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries
[0116] Cycle performance tests were conducted on the all-solid-state lithium metal batteries prepared in Example 5 and Comparative Example 2 at 45°C and 0.2°C.
[0117] The results are as follows Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the LiFePO4│PEO-Spiro│Li all-solid-state lithium metal battery prepared in Example 5 has a discharge specific capacity of 145.2 mAh g after 100 cycles. -1 Its capacity retention rate was 94.6%; the LiFePO4│PEO│Li battery prepared in Comparative Example 2 had a discharge specific capacity of 108.3 mAh g after 100 cycles. -1 The capacity retention rate was 71.6%.
