Abstract

Networks of inorganic particles (here SiO(2)) formed within organic liquids play an important role in science. Recently they have been considered as 'soggy sand' electrolytes for Li-based batteries with a fascinating combination of mechanical and electrical properties. In this communication we model formation and stability of the networks by Cluster-Cluster Aggregation followed by coarsening on a different time scale. The comparison of computer simulations based on our model with experimental results obtained for LiClO(4) containing polyethylene glycol reveals (i) that the percolation threshold for interfacial conductivity is very small, (ii) that the networks once formed coarsen with a time constant that is roughly independent of volume fraction and size-to a denser aggregate which then stays stable under operating condition. (iii) Trapping of the conducting solvent at high packing is also revealed.
