Book Functional Design of Advanced Polymer Architectures for Improved Lithium ion Batteries

Download or read book Functional Design of Advanced Polymer Architectures for Improved Lithium ion Batteries written by David G Mackanic and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous for applications in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and grid-scale energy storage. Despite rapidly increasing demand, modern LIBs face significant challenges with regards to their safety and energy density. Additionally, the rigid nature of existing LIBs precludes their use in emerging applications in flexible/wearable electronics. Polymeric materials promise to address many of the issues facing LIBs, yet the existing polymers used commercially fall short of this goal. In this work, we design functional polymer materials to address three major challenges for next-generation LIBs. We explore the structure-property relationships of these polymer architectures in the context of ion transport, mechanical properties, and electrochemical performance. In the first project, a new polymer electrolyte is designed to replace the flammable liquid electrolyte in conventional LIBs. We study the effect of lithium ion coordination in polymer electrolytes and discover a modified polymeric backbone that loosely coordinates to lithium ions. The loose coordination of this new polymer electrolyte enables an improved lithium transference number of 0.54, compared to 0.2 achieved in conventional polymer electrolytes. This polymer electrolyte is demonstrated to operate effectively in a battery with a lithium-metal anode. In the second project, the learnings of the lithium coordination environment from the first project are used to design a multifunctional polymer coating to stabilize high energy density lithium metal anodes. We combined loosely-coordinating fluorinated ligands dynamically bonded with single-ion-conductive metal centers. The resulting supramolecular polymer network functions as an excellent lithium metal coating, allowing for achievement of one of the highest-reported coulombic efficiencies and cycle lives of a lithium metal anode. A systematic investigation of the chemical structure of the coating reveals that the properties of dynamic flowability, single-ion transport, and electrolyte blocking are synergistic in improving Li-metal coating performance. This coating is applied in a commercially relevant lithium metal full-cell and increases the cycle life over two-fold compared to an uncoated anode. The final project uses supramolecular polymer design to create ultra-robust ion transport materials. We show that when soft ion conducting segments are combined with strong dynamically bonded moieties in the polymer backbone, the ion transport properties can be decoupled from the mechanical properties. This decoupling enables for the creation of polymer electrolytes with extremely high toughness and high ionic conductivity. These supramolecular materials enable the fabrication of stretchable and deformable batteries that demonstrate respectable energy density even when stretched to 70% of their original length. Overall, the work demonstrated in this thesis provides a robust understanding towards designing polymer networks with tunable ion transport and mechanical properties. Additionally, the polymer materials demonstrated here provide promising avenues toward improving the safety, energy density, and flexibility of LIBs.

Book Development of Functional Polymeric Materials for Lithium ion Based Energy Storage Devices

Download or read book Development of Functional Polymeric Materials for Lithium ion Based Energy Storage Devices written by Zhuo Li and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ever-growing energy demand of modern society calls for application of renewable energy sources. Among various renewable energy sources, solid-state lithium-ion battery (SSLIB) has become a rising star due to its high intrinsic safety, high energy density and sustainability compared with traditional liquid lithium-ion batteries. In the development of SSLIBs, solid polymer materials have attracted intensive attention due to their many desirable properties such as processibility, sustainability and low cost. This dissertation focused on the understanding and development of novel polymer materials for SSLIBs. Chapter 2 discusses a new strategy of modifying the structure of polymer electrolyte to increase its ionic conductivity while preserving other desirable properties, such as oxidative stability by utilizing flexible, oxidatively stable aliphatic segments. Hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) was blended with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (LiTFSI) to create polymer electrolytes. Their physical and electrochemical properties were characterized in detail. It was found that HNBR:LiTFSI has 3.1×10-7 S/cm at room temperature. Compared with unplasticized PAN:LiTFSI and unsaturated NBR:LiTFSI, ionic conductivity of HNBR:LiTFSI is significantly improved, while the oxidative stability of PAN:LiTFSI is preserved. Chapter 3 focuses on developing a more reliable measure of oxidative stability in polymer electrolyte. Oxidative stability is an important and widely referenced property of battery electrolytes, yet its measurement is often poorly conducted. A capacity-based electrochemical method that measures the reversibility of the system was developed. The absolute stability threshold of PEO/LiTFSI (3.6V vs. Li/Li+) and HNBR/LiTFSI (3.7V vs. Li/Li+) was measured with reversibility test, and further verified by a non-electrochemical method. Chapter 4 explores the possibility of expanding the role of polymeric materials from electrolyte to cathode. Anew cathode chemistry for thin-film battery was proposed and examined. A vapor deposited polymeric charge transfer complex (CTC) cathode, P4VP-ICl was investigated. Spectroscopic, stoichiometric, and electrochemical properties of the CTC complex was collected and analyzed. P4VP-ICI LIPON Li thin film battery was demonstrated on both rigid and flexible substrates. The flexible P4VP-ICI LIPON Li battery can be bent 180ʻ without losing electrochemical performance"--Pages x-xi.

Download or read book Battery Management Systems written by H.J. Bergveld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Battery Management Systems - Design by Modelling describes the design of Battery Management Systems (BMS) with the aid of simulation methods. The basic tasks of BMS are to ensure optimum use of the energy stored in the battery (pack) that powers a portable device and to prevent damage inflicted on the battery (pack). This becomes increasingly important due to the larger power consumption associated with added features to portable devices on the one hand and the demand for longer run times on the other hand. In addition to explaining the general principles of BMS tasks such as charging algorithms and State-of-Charge (SoC) indication methods, the book also covers real-life examples of BMS functionality of practical portable devices such as shavers and cellular phones. Simulations offer the advantage over measurements that less time is needed to gain knowledge of a battery's behaviour in interaction with other parts in a portable device under a wide variety of conditions. This knowledge can be used to improve the design of a BMS, even before a prototype of the portable device has been built. The battery is the central part of a BMS and good simulation models that can be used to improve the BMS design were previously unavailable. Therefore, a large part of the book is devoted to the construction of simulation models for rechargeable batteries. With the aid of several illustrations it is shown that design improvements can indeed be realized with the presented battery models. Examples include an improved charging algorithm that was elaborated in simulations and verified in practice and a new SoC indication system that was developed showing promising results. The contents of Battery Management Systems - Design by Modelling is based on years of research performed at the Philips Research Laboratories. The combination of basic and detailed descriptions of battery behaviour both in chemical and electrical terms makes this book truly multidisciplinary. It can therefore be read both by people with an (electro)chemical and an electrical engineering background.
