Abstract
Li metal polymer batteries incorporating crosslinked ternary PEO/PYR14TFSI/LiTFSI solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) have been prepared, using V2O5 as active cathode material. As a result of the optimization of the SPE as well as the cell assembly and cycling conditions, V2O5 lithium metal polymer batteries allow reaching 796 Wh kgâ1 (of V2O5) at C/10 at 40 °C and maintaining 663 Wh kgâ1 after 200 cycles at 40 °C. This is higher than the theoretical specific energy of LiCoO2 vs. Li of 609 Wh kgâ1. Cycling at 80 °C allows reaching 270 mAh gâ1 at C/2 and 210 mAh gâ1 at 1 C, while at 20 °C it is still possible to reach a discharge capacity of almost 100 mAh gâ1 at low rates. Post-cycling SEM and EDX imaging showed that, after 200 cycles at 40 °C, if the plating of Li is not fully homogeneous, no sign of dendrite growth nor obvious vanadium dissolution and redeposition on the anode side occurred.
