With the growing demand for energy storage technologies meeting the requirements of emerging electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage systems, research on rechargeable batteries with enhanced safety, longer cycle life, and higher energy and power densities is becoming increasingly important. However, poor cycle life and serious safety hazards of current battery systems during charge/discharge cycles have hampered their practical applications. This talk aims to give a state-of-the-art overview of contemporary polymer materials for achieving safe rechargeable battery applications from the electro-chemo-mechanical viewpoint of macromolecular design. Judiciously tailoring electro-chemo-mechanical properties of polymer materials provides virtually unlimited opportunities to afford safe and high-performance battery systems by resolving problematic safety issues. Transforming these rational design strategies into building functional polymer materials and exploiting them towards polymer electrolytes, separators, and coating materials hold the key to realizing safe and long-lasting battery systems. |
