Alternating copolymers of carbon dioxide with glycidyl ethers for novel ion-conductive polymer electrolytes

To overcome the low ionic conduction of existing poly(ethylene oxide)-based polymer electrolytes, we consider polycarbonates obtained from the copolymerization of CO2 and epoxy monomers. We synthesized four types of polycarbonates possessing phenyl, n-butyl, t-butyl and methoxyethyl side groups using zinc glutarate, and measured the ionic conductivity of their electrolytes, including 10 mol% of LiTFSI. The electrolyte possessing methoxyethyl side groups had the highest conductivity, of the order of 10-6 S cm-1 at room temperature. The activation energy (Ea) for ionic conduction in the polycarbonate electrolytes was estimated from the VTF equation, and the Ea of the electrolyte possessing n-butyl side groups was almost the same with the polyether-based electrolytes. An interesting feature of our study is that the polycarbonate is a unique candidate for ion-conductive polymers because of its flexible and hydrophobic properties.

Effect of oxyethylene side chains on ion-conductive properties of polycarbonate-based electrolytes

We have synthesized polycarbonates having oxyethylene (OE) end groups from alternating copolymerization of CO2 with glycidyl ether monomers, and studied the effect of OE length on the ion-conductive properties of electrolytes with lithium bis-(fluorosulfonyl) imide (LiFSI). Polycarbonate-based electrolytes exhibited obvious dependence of the ion-conductive behavior on the salt concentration; the conductivity of PEtGEC (polycarbonate possessing ethoxy side groups) electrolyte increased with increasing salt concentration, and the conductivity of PME1C (polycarbonate possessing 2-methoxyethoxy side groups) and PME2C (polycarbonate possessing 2-(2-methoxy)ethoxy side groups) electrolytes decreased at low salt concentration but then increased dramatically with increasing concentration. PME2C-LiFSI (376 mol%) had the greatest conductivity of all the electrolytes. We also measured the Li transference numbers (tLi+) of polycarbonate-based electrolytes; the values of tLi+ for LiFSI electrolytes (188 mol%) decreased with increasing number of OE chains. This indicates that dissociated Li ions are trapped and that migration is inhibited by the OE side groups. For the PEtGEC electrolyte, tLi+ was very high, more than 0.7, because the polymer has only one ether oxygen atom in the side chain, making it difficult to form stable solvation structures. This study suggests a new polymer matrix combining ether units to give high conductivity at low salt concentrations with a carbonate main chain for high tLi+.
