Description
Summary:In order to improve electrochemical performances of lithium ion battery (LIB), electrochemical integration of the membrane with the electrode was accomplished by conformal electrodeposition of poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) on three-dimensional (3D) oriented TiO sub(2) nanotube arrays (TiO sub(2)NT). The as-synthesized PPO/TiO sub(2)NT membrane/electrode was investigated in terms of AC impedance, XPS, SEM, EDX, galvanostatic charge/discharge, rate performance, and cycle stability. As expected, PPO was indeed combined with TiO sub(2)NT via conformal electrodeposition; furthermore, the integrated PPO/TiO sub(2)NT membrane/electrode delivered much better rate performance than the traditional membrane/electrode, mainly attributed to large area of membrane/electrode/electrolyte, short ionic diffusion paths and fast ionic transport.
