The invention discloses an
oxygen vacancy enriched
lithium-doped
zinc oxide nanotube reinforced
polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based
solid electrolyte and a preparation method thereof. The
electrolyte takes PEO as a
polymer matrix,
lithium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonimide) (LiTFSI) as a
lithium salt, and a three-dimensional hollow ZnO
nanotube (LZN) doped with a lithium element as an inorganic reinforcing filler. By introducing Li < + > into ZnO
crystal lattices for
doping, a large number of positively charged
oxygen vacancies can be induced to form, and the
oxygen vacancies as Lewis acid sites have
strong interaction with lithium salt anions to promote dissociation of lithium salt, so that the free Li concentration and
ion mobility in the
system are improved. The three-dimensional
interconnection structure of the hollow
nanotube constructs a continuous organic-inorganic
ion transmission channel at the same time, so that the
interface impedance is further reduced, and the overall
ionic conductivity of the
electrolyte is improved. The Li < + >
conductivity of the prepared composite
solid electrolyte at 60 DEG C can reach 8.12 * 10 <-4 > S / cm, and the composite
solid electrolyte has excellent electrochemical stability and high coulombic efficiency. LiFePO4 / Li and NCM622 / Li all-solid-state batteries assembled by using the electrolyte membrane show good
cycling stability and high-
voltage adaptability. Through
collaborative design of
oxygen vacancy engineering and a hollow structure, the comprehensive performance of the
polymer electrolyte is remarkably improved, and a new solution is provided for development of a high-energy-density and long-service-life all-solid-state
lithium battery.
