Abstract

Although the low tLi+ and fluid nature of ionic liquid electrolytes can lead to weakened rate capability and higher leakage risks, these challenges can be tackled by incorporating ILs into solid hosts with controlled properties. Herein, we designed a heterogeneous metal organic framework (MOF)/polymerized ionic network (PIN) core-shell composite as a porous host for IL N,N-diethyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N-methylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulphonyl)imide (DEME-TFSI). The PIN shell with abundant ionic structures exhibit nice compatibility with ILs to achieve high loading, while the MOF core has narrow nanopores to confine large anions in ILs and enhance Li+ selectivity. The as-synthesized conductive solid electrolyte (HKUST@PIN-IL-Li) showed high IL loading, high ionic conductivity over 4 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 25 °C and increased Li+ transfer number (0.367) in comparison to hollow H-PIN-IL-Li and bare IL-Li electrolyte. Overall, our research demonstrates for the first time a novel MOF@PIN core-shell structure as a solid framework for IL with high battery performance.
