Weathering of a Polyurethane-Based Gel Electrolyte
Abstract
A recently described flexible polyurethane electrolyte was artificially weathered at 25/50 °C and 50% r.h. in air and at 25 °C in a dry nitrogen atmosphere, each with and without UV irradiation. Different formulations and the polymer matrix, used as a reference, were weathered in order to investigate the influence of the amount of conductive lithium salt and the solvent propylene carbonate. The complete loss of the solvent at a standard climate was already observed after a few days, strongly influencing the conductivity and mechanical properties. The essential degradation mechanism appears to be the photo-oxidative degradation of the polyol’s ether bonds, which leads to chain scission, oxidation products and negative changes in the mechanical and optical properties. A higher salt content has no effect on the degradation; however, the presence of propylene carbonate intensifies the degradation.
