China E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: A novel kind of solid-state lithium electrolyte was fabricated by impregnating organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) into the pores of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). The liquid-like phase of confined N,N-dimethylpyrrolidinium iodide (P1,1I) and the ordered nanochannels of COFs simultaneously stimulated the lithium ion conduction. Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) are interesting solid state electrolyte materials for lithium batteries because of their special properties, including their thermal and electrochemical stability, fast ion transport and flexibility for chemical design. The key for Manuscript their good conductivity is their multiple reversible solid–solid phase transitions that often have larger entropy or enthalpy of Scheme 1. Schematic view of LiI@P1,1I impregnated into COFs and transition than those of the final melting transition. [1-11] The chemical structures of P1,1I and Tp-DB-COF. lithium ions can easily move via the vacancies or defects in the disordered domains. Typically, the doped lithium salt shares the same anion as OIPC and Li+ is generally considered to substitute for the plastic crystal cation within the OIPC lattice in Dry powder of P1,1I loaded COF, named after P1,1I@COFs was these systems. Doping small amount of lithium salt can lead to obtained by complete removal of methanol solvent under remarkable improvement in the ion conductivity of OIPC. vacuum. Different loading amounts were adopted to optimize the Detailed researches have proven that lithium-ion conduction was electrolyte components. The electrolytes P1,1I@COFs were the primary cause of this enhancement, which unmasked that named DMPI@COF. DMPI20@COF, DMPI40@COF, the majority of the ionic conductivity coming from Li+ ions.

The TEM image of Tp-DB-COF showed a large significantly why lithium ions can fasten their migration through area of regular crystal domains with oriented crystal lattice the liquid like phase.

After immobilization of P1,1I, the reflection peaks of behavior of PEO@COFs systems, we propose herein the Tp-DB-COF gradually disappeared and the intensity of the P1,1I loading of OIPCs based lithium electrolyte into the pore of COFs reflection peaks increased at the same time.

We pattern of DMPI20@COF and DMPI40@COF appeared to be fundamentally the same as that of the starting Tp-DB-COF, choose N,N-dimethylpyrrolidinium iodide (P1,1I), one of the OIPCs with two typical rotator phases here for its non-melting indicating that the framework structure of Tp-DB-COF does not characteristic and the unique static characteristic of iodide in decompose after loading the P1,1I salt.
