Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are crucial for energy storage, providing enhanced safety, higher energy density, and reduced dendrite growth risk. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) offer exciting opportunities to manipulate SSEs' properties due to their tunable structures and high surface area. This study employed in-situ nucleation to grow MOFs on glass fiber (GF), creating MOF@GF composite materials. The research investigated how varying MOF loading impacts key performance parameters like specific surface area, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and potential for solid-state electrolyte fabrication.
Thermal properties and crystallinity were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. X-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis assessed MOF@glass fiber's structure and surface area. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy evaluated the improvement in ion conductivity.
The findings demonstrate the potential of MOF@GF composites for advanced solid-state electrolytes. Rational structural design and material selection can enhance mechanical strength and ion conductivity, improving overall solid-state batteries performance and stability. |
