Bimetal Fluorides with Adjustable Vacancy Concentration Reinforcing Ion Transport in Poly(ethylene oxide) Electrolyte

The poor ambient ionic transport properties of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based SPEs can be greatly improved through filler introduction. Metal fluorides are effective in promoting the dissociation of lithium salts via the establishment of the Li-F bond. However, too strong Li-F interaction would impair the fast migration of lithium ions. Herein, magnesium aluminum fluoride (MAF) fillers are developed. Experimental and simulation results reveal that the Li-F bond strength could be readily altered by changing fluorine vacancy (V
