Abstract
The porous structure of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based polymer electrolytes and their disordered ion transport properties restrict the continuous and highly efficient transport of lithium ions (Li+), which is a major challenge in further improving ionic conductivity. Herein, we constructed a compact composite solid-state electrolyte with a three-dimensional continuous Li+ transport network by coupling a heat-treated polyacrylonitrile fiber network with an interconnected metal organic framework coating layer (h-PAN@MOF). The MOF crystal surface exhibits strong interactions with CO of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), effectively weakening the Li+–O binding strength of DMF in the Li+ solvation structure. Highly-efficient Li+ transport channels and networks were constructed to achieve a high ionic conductivity of 1.03 × 10−3 S cm−1. The MOF-dependent Li+ coordination environment prompts the formation of a stable interphase. The h-PAN@MOF network also contributes to the high tensile strength (20.84 MPa) of the compact electrolyte. The Li||LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 full cells with the h-PAN@MOF network realize robust cycling for 1000 cycles at 5C. This work provides a facile strategy for regulating the Li+ coordination state and its spatial distribution in solid-state electrolytes for fast-charging solid-state Li metal batteries.
