本文要点:
带电通道被认为是实现有效单价阳离子转运的有效设计;然而,在孔隙内建立电荷微环境和离子电导率之间的直接关系仍然具有挑战性。
在此,作者报道了一系列具有相同骨架但不同电荷微环境的晶体共价有机框架,并探讨了它们的孔内电荷驱动离子传输性能和机制差异。
作者发现,带电性质决定了离子对的作用位点、模式、主客体相互作用,从而影响离子对的解离效率、阳离子的跳跃能力和有效载流子浓度。Li+、Na+和H+的转运效率顺序为阴离子>两性离子>阳离子>中性。
离子COFs的离子电导率比中性COFs高11倍。值得注意的是,阴离子COF的离子电导率在30°C时对Li+达到2.0×10-4 S·cm-1,在160°C时对H+达到3.8×10-2 S·cm-1,超过了大多数基于COF的离子导体。
该COF平台可在锂金属准固态电池中实现高效的离子迁移和稳定的电池循环,并已通过概念验证。这项工作为下一代固态离子导体的开发和构效关系研究提供了新的见解。
