This review describes the properties and characteristics of a class of membranes formed by blends of a lithium salt, LiX, where X is preferably a large soft anion, such as ClO4 or N(CF3SO2)(2), and a high molecular weight polymer containing Li+-coordinating group, such as polyethylene oxide (PEO) with the dispersion of selected ceramic powders, such as TiO2, Al2O3, and SiO2, at the nanoscale particle size. These nanocomposite membranes behave as lithium polymer electrolytes, that is, they exhibit a high lithium ion conductivity. Because of this property, the PEO-LiX nanocomposite electrolytes may rind an important application as separators in advanced, rechargeable lithium polymer batteries.

These nanocomposite membranes behave as lithium polymer electrolytes, that is, they exhibit a high lithium ion conductivity. Because of this property, the PEO-LiX nanocomposite electrolytes may rind an important application as separators in advanced, rechargeable lithium polymer batteries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
