Abstract

A laser-transferable polymer gel separator formulated from an imidazolium-based ionic liquid, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-HFP, and ceramic nanoparticles was prepared and electrochemically characterized by ac-impedance spectroscopy and in lithium-ion microbatteries. Size and weight percent effects of the nanoparticulates added to the laser-transferred separator indicate that nanoparticulates under 100 nm in size and in the 10 wt % range exhibited the highest ionic conductivity (1-3 mS/cm). Li-ion microbatteries prepared using this separator, a LiCoO 2 cathode, and a carbon anode maintained an average discharge voltage of up to 4.2 V with a reversible specific energy of 330 mWh/g.
