Abstract

The multifunctional properties of 2D boron nitride nanoflakes (BNNFs) in gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are presented. A small addition (0.5 wt%) of BNNFs into the GPE substantially improves all the advantageous properties of the GPE including ionic conductivity, Li+ transference number, mechanical modulus, and dendrite-suppressing capability, thereby enabling high performance lithium metal batteries.
