Figure V - 178: The temperature dependence <strong>of</strong> the ionic conductivities <strong>of</strong><br />

the membranes after irradiation at a fixed ion beam energy <strong>of</strong> 1 MeV and at<br />

different doses (A); and under different ion beam energies at a fixed ion<br />

beam dose <strong>of</strong> 5x10 13 ion/cm 2 (B).<br />

Conclusions and Future Directions<br />

As shown in the results, it is difficult to evaluate the<br />

effect <strong>of</strong> the surface treatment on the prevention <strong>of</strong><br />

dendrite formation at room temperature using linear PEO.<br />

However, if evaluated at higher temperature, the surface<br />

effect will be disturbed due to the linear structure <strong>of</strong> PEO.<br />

In the future, we would like to make a series <strong>of</strong> crosslinked<br />

membranes with short PEO side chains, such as<br />

those based on polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate. Once<br />

cross-linked these membranes cannot flow at higher<br />

temperature so that they can be further surface treated<br />

using the same ion beam irradiation technique, followed by<br />

cycling evaluation at medium temperatures under high<br />

current to check the dendrite prevention effect.<br />

Figure V - 179: The typical cycling pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> (A) reference and (B) the<br />

sample irradiated at the beam energy <strong>of</strong> 1Mev and dose <strong>of</strong> 1x10 13 ion/cm 2<br />

under the cycling sequence <strong>of</strong> 2 hour charge, 1 hour rest, 2 hour discharge<br />

and 1 hour rest.<br />

Acknowledgment<br />

Ion beam irradiations were conducted at UES, Inc. in<br />

Dayton, OH.<br />
