A Mechanically Robust In-Situ Solidified Polymer Electrolyte for SiOx-Based Anodes Toward High-Energy Lithium Batteries
Inspired by the microstructure of high-mechanical-property dragonfly wings, a phase separation structure design philosophy of in-situ solidified polymer electrolytes was first proposed, enabling superior mechanical properties of them.By virtue of superior mechanical properties and the in-situ solidified preparation method, the failure behaviors of SiOx-based electrodes are effectively suppressed by the as-developed polymer electrolyte.A dragonfly wing microstructure-inspired polymer electrolyte Credit: Cizhen Luo, Huanrui Zhang, Chenghao Sun, Xing Chen, Wenjun Zhang, Pengzhou Mu, Gaojie Xu, Rongxian Wu, Zhaolin Lv, Xinhong Zhou, Guanglei Cui.
