[0083] 2) The polymer electrolyte film prepared in Example 2 was cut into a 12 mm disc, then assembled with the positive electrode sheet and lithium metal to prepare a LiFePO4│PEO-Spiro│Li all-solid-state lithium metal battery.

[0084] Comparative Example 1

[0085] This comparative example is compared with Example 4, the polymer matrix is PEO without end group modification, PEO and lithium salt "lithium bis-trifluoromethanesulfonimide" (LiTFSI) are mixed in a molar ratio of EO:Li + = 16:1 to prepare an electrolyte film "PEO-LiTFSI".

[0086] Comparative Example 2

[0087] This comparative example is compared with Example 5, the electrolyte film prepared in Comparative Example 1 is used to prepare a LiFePO4│PEO│Li battery.

[0088] Performance Test

[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 Figure 1, taking Example 1 as an example. The diffraction peaks of PEO-Spiro are consistent with those of PEO, indicating that the long chain structure of the modified PEO-Spiro is still consistent with that of PEO as a whole, and the only difference is that the functional groups at both ends are replaced.

[0091] 2. Fluorescence Property Test

[0092] [Corrected according to Rule 91 on 11.02.2025] Figure 2(a) is a real picture of the polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Examples 1 to 4, and the results are shown in Figure 2(b) under ultraviolet light irradiation. It can be seen that the polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in the present application exhibits fluorescence phenomenon under ultraviolet light irradiation. In actual visual observation, the polymer electrolyte film changes from light green to cyan blue, which clearly indicates that the polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in the present application has fluorescence properties and can exhibit fluorescence phenomenon under the excitation of ultraviolet light.

[0093] 3. Research on non-destructive testing method based on fluorescence properties

[0094] The polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 was cut into a 16 mm disc in an Ar glove box, and then placed between two lithium sheets. By applying different pressing pressures, a lithium symmetrical battery "Sample A" with poor solid-solid interface contact and a lithium symmetrical battery "Sample B" with tight solid-solid interface contact were prepared.

[0095] 3-1) The above two samples were placed under the bright field image mode of the microscope for imaging observation.

[0096] The results are shown in Figure 3, where the two sides are lithium metal and the black part in the middle is the polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI". The results show that under the bright field image of the optical microscope, it is not possible to determine the contact degree of the polymer electrolyte film and the electrode of the two samples.

[0097] 3-2) The above two assembled lithium symmetrical batteries were placed under the fluorescence mode of the microscope for imaging observation.

[0098] The results are shown in Figure 4, which is the fluorescence bright field image of the above two samples under ultraviolet light excitation. In fluorescence optical image (a), it can be clearly seen that there is a black gap between the lithium electrode and the polymer electrolyte film of "Sample A" with poor solid-solid interface contact, and in fluorescence optical image (b), it can be seen that there is no obvious black gap between the lithium electrode and the polymer electrolyte film of "Sample B" with tight solid-solid interface contact.

[0099] In summary, the battery product with the polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" of the present application can be irradiated with ultraviolet light under the fluorescence mode of the microscope, and the tightness of the polymer electrolyte film and the electrode can be determined by whether there is a black gap at the solid-solid interface, or the interface change can be observed, which is a non-destructive testing method.

[0100] 4. Room temperature ionic conductivity test

[0101] The polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and the electrolyte film "PEO-LiTFSI" prepared in Comparative Example 1 were cut into 10 mm round pieces in an Ar glove box, and then placed between two stainless steel sheets to form a blocked electrode as a test sample.

[0102] The test sample was subjected to an alternating current impedance test in an electrochemical workstation with a frequency range from high frequency to low frequency of 1 MHz to 0.1 Hz to obtain the room temperature ionic conductivity of the test sample.

[0103] The test results are shown in FIG. 5. The room temperature ionic conductivity of the electrolyte film of Comparative Example 1 is lower than that of Examples 1 to 4, i.e., the "PEO-Spiro" modified by the end group of the present application, not only enables the polymer electrolyte film to have fluorescent properties, but also improves the room temperature ionic conductivity of the PEO polymer electrolyte film, i.e., improves the electrochemical performance; on the other hand, as can be seen from FIG. 5, when the lithium salt addition amount is configured in a molar ratio of EO:Li + = 13:1, the room temperature ionic conductivity performance of the polymer electrolyte film prepared is the most excellent.

[0104] 5. Electrochemical window test

[0105] The polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 was cut into 10 mm round pieces in an Ar glove box, and then placed between a stainless steel sheet and a lithium sheet for battery assembly, and then a linear sweep voltammetry test was performed on the battery by an electrochemical workstation, with a test potential range of 0 V to 6.55 V and a scan rate of 1 mV / s.

[0106] The results are shown in FIG. 6. The electrochemical window of the polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 reaches more than 5 V, indicating that the "PEO-Spiro" modified by the end group of the present application effectively improves the electrochemical window of the polymer electrolyte film.

[0107] 6. Cycle performance test

[0108] The polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 and the electrolyte film "PEO-LiTFSI" prepared in Comparative Example 1 were both cut into 16 mm round pieces in an Ar glove box, and then placed between two lithium sheets to form lithium symmetric batteries.

[0109] The cycle performance test was performed in a Land test system with a current density of 0.1 mA / cm 2 , and the test process alternated between charging and discharging every half hour.

[0110] The results are shown in Figure 7. The lithium symmetric battery using the polymer electrolyte film prepared in Example 2 remained stable without short circuiting after 400 h of cycling, while the lithium symmetric battery using the electrolyte film of Comparative Example 1 had a short circuit, indicating that the PEO-Spiro modified by the end group of the application effectively improved the cycling performance of the polymer electrolyte film.

[0111] 7. Limiting current density test

[0112] The polymer electrolyte film "PEO-Spiro-LiTFSI" prepared in Example 2 and the electrolyte film "PEO-LiTFSI" prepared in Comparative Example 1 were each cut into a 16 mm disc and then placed between two lithium sheets to form lithium symmetric batteries.

[0113] The limiting current density was tested in a Land test system.

[0114] Figure 8 is a graph of the cycling performance of the lithium symmetric battery prepared in Example 2 at different current densities, and Figure 9 is a graph of the cycling performance of the lithium symmetric battery prepared in Comparative Example 1 at different current densities. As shown by comparing Figures 8 and 9, the limiting current density of the polymer electrolyte film prepared in Example 2 was 1.0 mA / cm 2 , while the limiting current density of the electrolyte film of Comparative Example 1 was only 0.5 mA / cm 2 , and the stable cycle did not exceed 100 h, which was a large gap from Example 2, indicating that the PEO-Spiro modified by the end group of the application could effectively increase the limiting current density of the polymer electrolyte film.

[0115] 8. Cycling performance test of all-solid-state lithium metal battery

[0116] The all-solid-state lithium metal batteries prepared in Example 5 and Comparative Example 2 were subjected to a cycling performance test at 45°C and 0.2C.

[0117] The results are shown in Figure 10. As shown in the figure, the LiFePO4│PEO-Spiro│Li all-solid-state lithium metal battery prepared in Example 5 had a discharge specific capacity of 145.2 mAh g -1 at 100 cycles, and a capacity retention rate of 94.6%; the LiFePO4│PEO│Li battery prepared in Comparative Example 2 had a discharge specific capacity of 108.3 mAh g -1 at 100 cycles, and a capacity retention rate of 71.6%.

[0118] The above examples and comparative examples prove the effectiveness of the application in improving the electrical properties of PEO-based polymer electrolytes and the pioneering application of the fluorescent interface characterization method in the field of lithium batteries from the performance comparison of the end groups of the polymers PEO before and after modification.
