Designing interfacially stable Na-ion polymer electrolytes with tailored local solvation structures†
Abstract
Azodicarbonamide (ADA) is selected as an additive to the polymer electrolyte (PE) to improve the stability of the NaFe1/3Mn1/3Ni1/3O2 cathode. ADA can capture hydrogen from the polymer and induce local structures, enhancing the ionic conductivity of the PE. Moreover, the dehydrogenated ADA can bond to Fe ions, preventing the PE from decomposing.
