Figure 10.

(a) Optical images of the modified silyl-terminated polyether (MSTP) polymer electrolyte (MSTP-PE) before and after polymerization, and schematic illustration of the preparation process with the structure of the cross-linked network of MSTP-PE. (b) The molecular structures of the MSTP monomer and MSTP-PE, along with the polymerization process. The chemical bonds in the light red area are the cross-linking parts. (c) Rate performances of LiFePO₄/MSTP-PE/Li battery at room temperature. Cycling performance of LiFePO₄/MSTP-PE/Li battery at (d) 1C and (e) 3C. The insets are the selected charge–discharge curves for the batteries with different cycles. Reproduced with permission from [332]. Copyright 2017 Elsevier.
