Enhancing Polymer Electrolytes with Lithium Bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB)
Polymer electrolytes are gaining significant traction in the development of safer and more flexible lithium-ion polymer batteries. The performance of these electrolytes is heavily influenced by the choice of lithium salt. Lithium Bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB), identified by CAS 244761-29-3, has emerged as a critical component capable of significantly enhancing the properties of polymer electrolyte systems. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a leading manufacturer and supplier in China, provides high-quality LiBOB for these cutting-edge applications.
Studies have shown that the addition of LiBOB to polymer electrolytes, such as those based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), can profoundly impact their structure, thermal characteristics, and ionic conductivity. For instance, FTIR and DSC analyses reveal that LiBOB concentration affects the crystallinity of PEO, generally decreasing it. This reduction in crystallinity is often correlated with an increase in ionic conductivity, a vital parameter for efficient battery operation. For battery manufacturers looking to buy improved electrolyte materials, understanding these structure-property relationships is key.
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. supplies LiBOB that contributes to achieving practical ionic conductivity values in polymer electrolytes. Research indicates that electrolytes incorporating LiBOB can reach ionic conductivities as high as 1.68 × 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ at room temperature, representing a substantial improvement over pure PEO. This enhanced conductivity is crucial for the performance of Li-ion polymer batteries, enabling better ion transport and thus higher power densities.
Beyond conductivity, LiBOB also influences the thermal properties of polymer electrolytes. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) suggests that the presence of LiBOB can lead to more complex decomposition mechanisms compared to pure polymers. This aspect, while requiring careful consideration, points towards the salt's active role in the overall thermal behavior of the electrolyte system.
Furthermore, SEM analysis demonstrates that LiBOB concentration can modify the surface morphology of polymer electrolyte membranes, potentially facilitating improved lithium-ion transport. The compatibility of LiBOB with various polymer matrices and ionic liquids makes it a versatile choice for developing next-generation flexible and solid-state battery technologies.
