    Abstract: The present disclosure a gel polymer electrolyte for an electrochemical cell that cycles lithium ions. The gel polymer electrolyte includes a polymer host, a liquid electrolyte, and greater than or equal to about 0.1 wt. % to less than or equal to about 10 wt. % of a sulfolene additive. In certain variations, the gel polymer electrolyte also includes greater than or equal to about 0.1 wt. % to less than or equal to about 5 wt. % of an ethylene carbonate additive. The ethylene carbonate additive may be selected from the group consisting of: vinyl ethylene carbonate (VEC), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), vinylene carbonate, and combinations thereof. In each instance, the lithium electrolyte may include a first lithium salt, a second lithium salt that is distinct from the first lithium salt, and a third lithium salt that is distinct from the first lithium salt and the second lithium salt.

    Abstract: A free-standing electrolyte layer for use in an electrochemical cell is provided. The free-standing electrolyte layer includes a plurality of solid-state electrolyte particles, a (first) ionic liquid that surrounds each solid-state electrolyte particle of the plurality of solid-state electrolyte particles, and a plurality of polytetrafluoroethylene fibrils that provides a structural framework for the solid-state electrolyte particles. The free-standing electrolyte layer has an ionic conductivity greater than or equal to about 0.1 mS/cm at 40° C., and a thickness greater than or equal to about 5 micrometers to less than or equal to about 500 micrometers. Each of the polytetrafluoroethylene fibrils of the plurality of polytetrafluoroethylene fibrils has an average length of greater than or equal to about 2 micrometers to less than or equal to about 100 micrometers. The electrochemical cell may include one or more electrodes including a (second) ionic liquid and/or plurality of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibrils.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for making a solid-state argyrodite electrolyte represented by Li6PS5X (where X is selected from chloride, bromide, iodine, or a combination thereof) having an ionic conductivity greater than or equal to about 1.0×10−4 S/cm to less than or equal to about 10×10−3 S/cm at about 25° C. The method may include contacting a first suspension and a first solution to form a precursor, where the first suspension is a Li3PS4 suspension including an ester solvent and the first solution is a Li2S and LiX (where X is selected from chloride, bromide, or iodine, or a combination thereof) solution including an alcohol solvent; and removing the ester solvent and the alcohol solvent from the precursor to form the solid-state argyrodite electrolyte.
