The project objective is to develop flexible hybrid electrolyte with garnet nanofibers to achieve the following: (1) flexible, with greater mechanical strength (~ 10 MPa) and thermal stability than polymer electrolytes; (2) high room-temperature ionic conductivity, ~ 0.5 mS/cm; (3) stable interface with lithium metal and effective blocking of lithium dendrites at current densities up to 3 mA/cm2; and (4) battery performance with Li S chemistry with an energy density of ≥ 450 Wh/kg (and ≥ 1000 Wh/L) and maintaining ≥ 80% of capacity up to 500 cycles. We synthesized garnet nanofibers, filled the porous region with polymer electrolyte, and characterized and tuned the flexible hybrid membrane properties. The flexible hybrid SSE microstructure was analyzed by leveraging the UMD AIMLab Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) tools and integrated with electrochemical methods at the UMERC Battery Fabrication Lab to investigate the properties and stability with Li metal anode. We developed a fundamental understanding of the mechanism of Li ionic diffusion in garnet nanofibers and their mechanical properties, as well as these properties for hybrid garnet-fiber/polymer hybrids. Work progressed toward the study of the electrode assembly during electrochemical cycling of the anode.
