OSTI ID:118051
Composite polymer electrolyte films consisting of zeolite powders dispersed in poly(acrylonitrile)(PAN) based gels with lithium hexafluoroarsenate have been prepared and their electrochemical properties studied. Gel electrolytes prepared by adding lithium hexafluoroarsenate in propylene carbonate (PC) and ethylene carbonate (EC) mixtures with PAN have demonstrated ionic conductivities greater than 0.001 siemens per cm at room temperature and above. The addition of zeolite powders increased ionic conductivity at low temperatures due to the highly amorphous nature of the composite film. Impedance spectroscopy was performed to study the lithium electrode/electrolyte interface, and a reduction of the passivation kinetics was observed. Cyclic voltammetry showed that addition of PAN and zeolite powder to liquid electrolyte mixtures with EC/PC did not change the stable electrochemical potential window. In Li/lithium cobalt dioxide cells, at 25 deg C, these composite electrolytes demonstrated current densities as high as 0.5 milliamps per sq cm, with little voltage or capacity loss compared to cells with liquid electrolytes.
