Lithium Batteries: Single-Ion Conducting Electrolyte Based on Electrospun Nanofibers for High-Performance Lithium Batteries (Adv. Energy Mater. 10/2019)

In article number 1803422, Yunfeng Zhang, Stefano Passerini, Zhihong Liu and co-workers propose a novel single-ion conducting polymer electrolyte (SIPE) based on an electrospun nanofiber membrane (es-PVPSI), offering wide electrochemical stability, good ionic conductivity, high lithium-ion transference number, and superior cell performance. SIPE is capable of suppressing lithium dendrite growth, possibly enabling its use in high-energy Li metal batteries (LMBs).
