摘要

Aprotic Li-O2 batteries exhibit ultra-high energy density through the redox reaction of O2. However, their open-structure design makes them prone to water infiltration and electrolyte leakage. Traditionally, dense and thick oxygen-permeable membranes (OPMs) are employed to prevent H2O intrusion, but this approach limits O2 permeance and constrains charge current densities. To address the trade-off between O2 permeance and H2O resistance, a novel double-laminated film (DLF) is proposed as an OPM. This innovative design integrates a thin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer, known for its excellent H2O resistance, onto a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) substrate, which offers high O2 permeability. The resulting thin composite OPM (<40 µm) enables Li-air batteries to operate continuously for 90 cycles (180 h) in ambient air with a relative humidity of 50 ± 5% at 1000 mA g⁻¹, owing to the synergistic effects of the OPM's exceptional O₂ permeance (6881 Barrer, 215 GPU) and its effective mitigation of H₂O intrusion. The selective transport of O2 and H2O is facilitated by the hydrophobic apertures of the PDMS and PIM-1 layers, which exploit their kinetic differences. This work highlights the potential of high-free-volume, microporous polymers, and DLF architectures for advancing OPMs in aprotic Li-air battery applications.
