Topic of Research Seminar: Development of Solid State multifunctional Organic Inorganic materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries/ Energy Storage Devices

Abstract: Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are desirable energy storage technologies due to their high capacity and low negative electrochemical potential. But their practical uses are still hindered by their high risk, constrained electrochemical window, and imbalanced electrolyte-electrode interfaces. Due to their greater energy densities in LIBs, multifunctional ceramic electrolytes, which are now manufactured using a unique method, have tremendous potential for energy storage. An increased battery safety and desirable interfacial stability were achieved by applying the method imbedding the ceramic (LATP) NASICON structures on polyethylene oxide (PEO) using UV light to construct a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) membrane. The objective of this membrane is to produce a flexible Li+ interpenetrating network film. The SPEs film demonstrated excellent mechanical strength, high electrochemical performance, including high transference (0.77) and an extensive electrochemical stability window along with suitable charging and discharging capacity.
