An enhancement of two orders of magnitude in the ambient temperature ionic conductivity of poly(ethylene oxide)-based nanocomposite polymer electrolyte (NCPE) membranes is here fundamentally achieved by the incorporation of specific amounts of aluminium-based metal organic framework (MOF) as the filler. Thorough characterization, particularly solid-state NMR and FT-IR studies, shed light on the specific role of the defective MOF frameworks in greatly enhancing the Li+ ion mobility inside the polymeric matrix. The prepared NCPEs are highly stable towards lithium metal even after prolonged storage time, and an excellent cycling profile is evidenced even at moderate temperatures, which has never been reported so far for an all-solid-state lithium polymer cell composed of Li/NCPE/LiFePO4.

Abstract
An enhancement of two orders of magnitude in the ambient temperature ionic conductivity of poly(ethylene oxide)-based nanocomposite polymer electrolyte (NCPE) membranes is here fundamentally achieved by the incorporation of specific amounts of aluminium-based metal organic framework (MOF) as the filler. Thorough characterization, particularly solid-state NMR and FT-IR studies, shed light on the specific role of the defective MOF frameworks in greatly enhancing the Li+ ion mobility inside the polymeric matrix. The prepared NCPEs are highly stable towards lithium metal even after prolonged storage time, and an excellent cycling profile is evidenced even at moderate temperatures, which has never been reported so far for an all-solid-state lithium polymer cell composed of Li/NCPE/LiFePO4.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
