▎ 摘 要
The recent developments of membrane technology that requires the composite membrane to work effectively in high energy devices have prompted the inclusion of graphene (GO) and N-butyltrimethylammonium iodide (IL) into a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) (PVDF-co-HFP) host polymer. From the characterizations that were conducted using FTIR, SEM, TGA, DSC, universal testing machine, Hot Disk Thermal Constants Analyser and the RF impedance spectroscopy, the IL-filled PVDF-co-HFP membrane (1P/IL) was found to have a better dielectric and thermal conductivity, while the decreased porosity of the 1P/GO membrane was discovered to have contributed to its better mechanical performance. Apart from the moieties, which had filled the gaps of the porous architecture and formed a firmer configuration from the chemical junctions with the PVDF-co-HFP, the IL in the membrane was also observed to have increased the density of the accumulated charge carriers and polarization with a better crystallinity control, porosity and ion transportation of the dielectric constant. Based on the above results, the introduction of an ionic liquid (with its plasticizing effect, well-dispersed assembling and diffusional motions) can thus be regarded as significantly improving the properties of the PVDF-co-HFP and particularly in the hi-tech targeted applications of high energy devices such as those of the high-energy Li-ion batteries.
