Study of the poly[oxymethylene oligo-(oxyethylene)]/lithium metal interface: Comparison of linear, cross-linked, and alkylated electrolyte films
- Oregon State Univ., Corvallis, OR (United States)
The formation and stabilities of interfaces between poly[oxymethylene oligo-(oxyethylene)] (PEM)-salt polymer electrolytes and lithium metal or LiC{sub x} are investigated. The Li/PEM{sub 25}LiClO{sub 4} interface (where x in PEM{sub x}LiAn indicates the mole ratio of O/Li in the electrolyte) demonstrates behavior consistent with the formation of a solid electrolyte interface, with a stable interfacial resistance of 900 {Omega} cm{sup 2} at 50 C. UV-cross-linked films do not form a stable interface, R{sub int} rapidly increases to greater than 10{sup 5} {Omega} cm{sup 2}. When cross-linked samples are treated with methyl iodide, hexamethyldisilazane/trimethylchlorosilane or upon addition of the plasticizer polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether, R{sub int} at 50 C stabilizes at approximately 2,000 {Omega} cm{sup 2}. The polymer electrolytes require a plasticizer to form a low impedance interface with LiC{sub x}.
