Exploration of solvent and aliphatic polycarbonate properties for the fabrication of binder-free sheet-type batteries. (a) Ionic conductivity of solvent-exposed LPS (σSE’) divided by that of pristine LPS (σSE), i.e. σSE’/σSE, as a function of the solvent’s donor number, where a higher donor number indicates higher nucleophilicity. Images of (b) a PPC-containing SE slurry, (c) a flexible and free-standing PPC-containing SE sheet (PPC; 6 wt.%, 8 vol%), (d) PPC-containing SE sheets punched by pressing a stainless-steel rod under 260 MPa and (e) a two-layered sheet prepared by coating the SE slurry on the electrode sheet. The inset is a two-layered sheet cut by punching machine. (f) Ionic conductivities of LPS and 6 wt.% PPC-containing LPS powder treated at various temperatures in the range from 25 to 290 °C.
