电化学储能是一个非常活跃的研究课题。然而,在诸如超级电容器的系统中使用液体电解质存在安全性和包装方面的若干缺点。解决这些问题的一种方法是设计使用固态电解质的超级电容器。我们在这里报告由基于聚环氧乙烷(PEO)网络和非交联腈的半互穿聚合物网络(semi-IPN)组成的自立式凝胶聚合物电解质(SGPE)的一锅法合成和表征丁二烯橡胶(NBR),自含的EMITFSI /γ-丁内酯(50/50 wt%/ wt%)二元混合物。然后将薄膜形式的SGPE用作固体电解质,还用作超级电容器中的隔板,其中超级电容器以单壁碳纳米管(SWCNTs)bucky纸为电极。热表征揭示了所有合成膜在宽工作温度范围内的适用性。SGPE在20°C时的电化学稳定性接近于纤维素分离器系统(ESW〜3.2–3.6 V),在100°C时其电化学稳定性相对较高:分别为2.1–2.5 V和1.8V。此外,在100°C(2 V的保持电压)下的浮动实验表明,SGPE具有极高的稳定性,在500 h后的残留电容为93%。这种高电化学性能证明了半IPN SGPE作为高性能超级电容器的隔膜/电解质的潜力。在100°C时,其相对高于纤维素体系:分别为2.1–2.5 V和1.8V。此外,在100°C(2 V的保持电压)下进行的浮动实验表明,SGPE具有极高的稳定性,在500小时后的残留电容为93%。这种高电化学性能证明了半IPN SGPE作为高性能超级电容器的隔膜/电解质的潜力。在100°C时,其相对高于纤维素体系:分别为2.1–2.5 V和1.8V。此外,在100°C(2 V的保持电压)下进行的浮动实验表明,SGPE具有极高的稳定性,在500小时后的残留电容为93%。这种高电化学性能证明了半IPN SGPE作为高性能超级电容器的隔膜/电解质的潜力。

Self-standing gel polymer electrolyte for improving supercapacitor thermal and electrochemical stability
Electrochemical energy storage is a very active research topic. However, the use of liquid electrolyte in such systems as supercacitors presents several drawbacks on security and packaging. One way to overcome these issues is to design supercapacitors using solid-state electrolytes. We report here the one-pot synthesis and the characterization of self-standing gel polymer electrolyte (SGPE) composed of semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (semi-IPN) based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) network and non cross-linked nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), self-containing EMITFSI/γ-Butyrolactone (50/50 wt%/wt%) binary mixtures. The SGPE under the form of a thin film are then used as solid electrolyte and also as separator in supercapacitors with Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) bucky paper as electrodes. Thermal characterization revealed the suitability of all synthesized membrane in wide range of operating temperature. Electrochemical stabilities of SGPE were close to that of a cellulose separator system (ESW∼3.2–3.6 V) at 20 °C, and were relatively higher than a cellulose system at 100 °C: 2.1–2.5 V and 1.8 V respectively. Furthermore, floating experiments at 100 °C (holding voltage at 2 V) revealed the exceptionally high stability of SGPE, with a residual capacitance of 93% after 500 h. This high electrochemical performance demonstrated the potential of semi-IPN SGPE as separator/electrolyte for high performance supercapacitors.
