Title: Mitigating thermal runaway of lithium‐ion battery by using thermally sensitive polymer blend as cathode binder

Abstract

ABSTRACT Thermally sensitive binder (TSB) is developed as an internal safety mechanism of lithium‐ion battery (LIB). The TSB is a polymer blend of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly(vinylidene fluoride‐ co ‐hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF‐HFP). Compared with regular PVDF binder, the softening and swelling of TSB are more pronounced when temperature is above 110 °C. With the TSB, the cycling performance of LIB cell is not affected; upon nail penetration, the heat generation rate is significantly reduced. The crystallinity of TSB is an important factor. This technology may lead to the development of thermal‐runaway‐mitigating LIB cells. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018 , 135 , 45737.

Effects of macromolecular configuration of thermally sensitive binder in lithium‐ion battery

Journal Article Le, Anh V. ; Wang, Meng ; Noelle, Daniel J. ; ... - Journal of Applied Polymer Science

ABSTRACT In order to suppress heat generation of nail‐penetrated lithium‐ion battery (LIB) cell, thermally sensitive binders (TSB) based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly(vinylidene fluoride‐ co ‐hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF‐HFP) were investigated. The testing data showed that with appropriate treatment, TSB could efficiently reduce the peak temperature associated with internal shorting, and did not influence the cycling performance of LIB. The molecular weight of TSB was not a vital factor, while crosslinking was critical. This technology can be used to mitigate thermal runaway of LIB, enabling safe and robust large‐scale energy storage. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene oxide) confined in semicrystalline poly(vinylidene) fluoride

Journal Article Tamaño‐Machiavello, Maria Noel ; Costa, Carlos Miguel ; Romero‐Colomer, Francisco José ; ... - Journal of Polymer Science. Part B, Polymer Physics

ABSTRACT Polymer blends based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) have been prepared to analyze the crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene oxide) confined in semicrystalline PVDF with different ratios of both polymers. Both blend components were dissolved in a common solvent, dimethyl formamide. Blend films were obtained by casting from the solution at 70 °C. Thus, PVDF crystals are formed by crystallization from the solution while PEO (which is in the liquid state during the whole process) is confined between PVDF crystallites. The kinetics of crystallization of the confined PEO phase was studied by isothermal and nonisothermal experiments. Fitting ofmore »« less

An electrochemical double layer capacitor using an activated carbon electrode with gel electrolyte binder

Journal Article Osaka, Tetsuya, Liu, X. ; Nojima, Masashi ; Momma, Toshiyuki - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

An electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) was prepared with an activated carbon powder electrode with poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) based gel electrolyte. Ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) were used as plasticizer and tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TEABF{sub 4}) was used as the supporting electrolyte. An optimized gel electrolyte of PVdF-HFP/PC/EC/TEABF{sub 4} - 23/31/35/11 mass ratio exhibited high ionic conductivity of 5 {times} 10{sup {minus}3} S/cm, high electrode capacitance, and good mechanical strength. An electrode consisting of activated carbon (AC) with the gel electrolyte as the binder (AC/PVdF-HFP based gel, 7/3 mass ratio) showed a higher specific capacitance and a lower ionmore »« less

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy study of polyvinylpyrrolidone‐added polyvinylidene fluoride membranes: Investigation of free volume and permeation relationships

Journal Article Eren, Bilge ; Eren, Erdal ; Guney, Murat ; ... - Journal of Polymer Science

ABSTRACT Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were prepared via the phase inversion method from casting solutions containing PVDF, dimethylformamide (DMF), and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as pore former. PVP was used in the casting solution in a range of 0–5 wt % and extracted. The effect on membranes of using PVP in the casting process was analyzed by X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, viscosity, and water permeability techniques. With an increase of PVP from 0 to 5 wt %, the PVDF casting solution viscosities increased from 858 to 1148 cP; the resulting PVDF membrane thickness increased; and the crystallinity of PVDF membranesmore »« less

Copolyesters developed from bio‐based 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid: Synthesis, sequence distribution, mechanical, and barrier properties of poly(propylene‐ co ‐1,4‐cyclohexanedimethylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate)s

Journal Article Jia, Zhen ; Wang, Jinggang ; Sun, Liyuan ; ... - Journal of Applied Polymer Science

ABSTRACT A series of poly(propylene‐ co ‐1,4‐cyclohexanedimethylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate)s (PPCFs) with different compositions were synthesized from bio‐based aromatic monomer 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid and 1,3‐propanediol (PDO), along with 1,4‐cyclohexanedimethylene (CHDM). The chemical structure, composition, and sequence distribution of PPCFs were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance ( ¹ H NMR and ¹³ C NMR). Results showed that the compositions of copolyesters depended on the feed molar ratio of PDO and CHDM, and all the obtained PPCFs copolyesters had triad component in a random sequential structure. With the addition of CHDM, the gas barrier properties of poly(propylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate) (PPF) deteriorated. However, when the content ofmore »« less
