Abstract

The need for high-energy and safe batteries is more and more urgent, and a possible approach is to use solid polymer electrolyte with high conductivity combined with lithium metal anode. Poly (1,3-dioxolane)-based electrolytes are promising, and the feasibility to polymerize 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) in situ makes this approach very attractive. In this paper, we present the in situ electro-initiated polymerization of DOL in polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous mats, without using initiator or crosslinking agents. The amount of monomer loaded in the porous scaffold, the electrochemical technique used to initiate the polymerization and the salt amount were investigated as important parameters that affect the ion conductivity and the performance of the obtained polymer electrolyte. Particular attention was directed towards minimizing the presence of residual monomer in the resulting polymer, with the aim of progressing towards the development of a real solid-state polymer electrolyte. The results of the thermal, morphological, and electrochemical characterization are reported and discussed.
