Abstract
The rapid development of electrical vehicle urgently requires high-performance Li-ion battery that can operate over a wide temperature range. Herein, disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate encapsulated with silica were embedded to polyvinylidene fluoride as DHPD@SiO2/PVDF (DSP) membrane. The DSP based cell exhibited superior average discharge capacity (132 mAhg−1) and coulombic efficiency (96%) under room temperature as the silica shell in nanocapsules could enhance electrolyte affinity, separator porosity and mechanical strength to reduce interfacial resistance and increase Li-ion conductivity. Furthermore, the DSP membrane is leakage-proof with a comparable latent heat due to the synergistic effect between porous silica and hydrophobic PVDF. When battery discharged in cold environment, heat release from hydrate salt solidification could mitigate the damage to alleviate discharge capacity degradation by 57.7%. The present design of separator that integrating electrochemical properties promotion and low-temperature thermal management provides a novel and efficient strategy to enhance wide-temperature-range performance of battery.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
