Abstract Scope |
This presentation provides an overview on the PI's efforts on synthesis, characterization and electrochemical behavior of gel and solid polymer electrolytes. In the first part, I will demonstrate our studies on the utilization of phosphorene-reinforced PEO gel polymer electrolytes that was tested against Li metal. Our studies show that phosphorene is effective in trapping the anions leading to facile hoping of Li ions in the electrolyte and at the electrolyte-electrode interfaces. In another study, we showed that the utilization of two-dimensional boron nitride (BN) materials in solid polymer electrolytes (PEO and PVdF) can alleviate some of the concerns related to hot spot formation in batteries leading to safer design of next generation Li metal batteries. |
