Nanocomposite Ion Conductors from Branced Aramid Nanofibers for Zn Thin Film Batteries
Abstract
To develop alternative thin film batteries (TFBs) that are air-stable and easy to manufacture while allowing reduced weight/volume/cost of packaging. Most TFBs use lithium metal anodes and solid ion conducting ceramics (e.g. lithium phosphorus oxynitride) as electrolytes. These TFBs provide excellent electrochemical stability,dendrite suppression, and high ionic conductivity. However, they require high vacuum conditions for deposition thereby raising manufacturing cost. Moreover, lithium-based anodes increase flammability/vulnerability of aviation equipment.
