Major Contributions
1. Developed a coordination-engineered polymer electrolyte with a hierarchical primary–secondary Li⁺ coordination architecture: a CO₂-derived poly(propylene carbonate) ionic framework combining crown-ether primary sites with distributed carbonate secondary motifs.
2. Strong primary sites promote Li salt dissociation while secondary carbonate motifs sustain dynamic Li⁺ migration, reconciling the dissociation–mobility trade-off; the electrolyte reaches ~10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ and a Li⁺ transference number of 0.45 at 60 °C.
3. Synchronized Li⁺ flux suppresses concentration polarization, accelerates sulfur reduction and stabilizes Li deposition; liquid-free solid-state Li–S cells (≈2.0 mg cm⁻² S) deliver 766 mAh g⁻¹ initially with ≈60% retention at 0.1 C.
主要貢獻
1. 開發具階層式主–次 Li⁺ 配位結構的配位工程高分子電解質:以 CO₂ 衍生的聚碳酸丙烯酯離子骨架,結合冠醚主配位位點與分散的碳酸酯次配位基團。
2. 強主配位位點促進鋰鹽解離,次配位碳酸酯基團維持 Li⁺ 動態遷移,化解高分子電解質「解離–遷移」的取捨;於 60 °C 離子導電度達 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ 等級、Li⁺ 遷移數 0.45。
3. 同步的 Li⁺ 通量抑制濃差極化、加速硫還原並穩定鋰沉積;在不含液態電解液的固態鋰硫電池(硫載量約 2.0 mg cm⁻²)中,首圈放電容量 766 mAh g⁻¹,0.1 C 循環保有約 60% 容量。
