Article Synopsis
  • The study involves creating hybrid solid polymer electrolytes (HSPE) using materials like poly(ethylene oxide), LiTFSI, barium titanate, and viologen through a simple hot pressing method.
  • The physical properties of these HSPE membranes were analyzed using various techniques to evaluate their structure, thermal stability, and mechanical strength.
  • The findings indicate that each component has a vital role: LiTFSI provides ionic species, while BaTiO and viologen enhance thermal stability and ionic conductivity, making the HSPE suitable for solid-state lithium polymer battery applications.

The influence of electrolyte additives on the electrochemical and interfacial properties of SiO-based anodes for lithium-sulfur batteries (Li-S) was systematically investigated. Four different electrolyte additives, namely, lithium nitrate, vinylene carbonate (VC), vinyl ethylene carbonate, and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), were added to the bare electrolyte comprising 1 M LiTFSI in tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether/1,3 dioxolane in a ratio of 1:1 (v/v). The self-extinguishing time (SET) of the liquid electrolytes was measured.
