(27) FIGS. 1A-C are SEM images and XRD pattern of TiN nanofiber prepared in embodiment 1 under different magnification factors, where FIGS. 1A-B are SEM images, and FIG. 1C is the XRD pattern.

(28) The micro-morphology of the TiN nanofiber prepared in embodiment 1 is shown in FIGS. 1A-B. The magnification factors of the SEM image are 6 k and 60 k, respectively. It can be seen that the precursor fiber felt still maintains a fibrous structure with a diameter of about 500 nm after being calcined and nitrided. FIG. 1C is the XRD pattern of the TiN nanofiber, which has a sharp crystallization peak and fully corresponds to the TiN standard crystal card of PDF #06-0642, which means the synthetic material has a high crystallization degree.

(29) FIGS. 2A-F are surface SEM images, the cross-sectional SEM images, and the optical photographs of the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE and the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in a control embodiment 1, where FIGS. 2A-C are the surface SEM image, cross-sectional SEM image, and an optical photograph of the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE, respectively.

(31) FIG. 3 is an XRD pattern of the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE and the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in embodiment 1.

(32) It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the un-doped polymer electrolyte has a sharp crystallization peak with high intensity around the position where 2 is 20, which means the polymer has a high degree of crystallization; the crystallization characteristics peak of PVDF-HFP doped with TiN nanofiber becomes wider with lower intensity, which means the crystallization behavior of the polymer is weakened, promoting the quick transport of the lithium ions in the electrolyte. Further, it can be seen that the position corresponding to the TiN crystallization card PDF #06-0642 has a corresponding peak, which means the TiN nanofiber is doped in the electrolyte film.

The Li.sup.+ transference number is also increased from 0.24 to 0.39, which means that the doping of the TiN nanofiber can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of the QPE.

(35) Linear sweep voltammetry test is performed on the electrochemical stability windows of the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE and the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 5.

(36) FIG. 5 shows an electrochemical stability window of the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE and the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in embodiment 1.

(37) It can be seen from FIG. 5 that the oxidation potential of the electrolyte before and after doping does not change obviously, and is about 4.7 V, which can satisfy the working requirements of the cathode material of the lithium battery; but the doping significantly improves a reduction resistance of the quasi-solid-state electrolyte. The reduction potential of the electrolyte before doping is about 1.54 V, while the electrolyte doped with TiN nanofiber has no obvious reduction peak above 0 V, which means the reduction resistance is significantly increased.

(38) Embodiment 2: the lithium symmetrical battery assembled with the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in embodiment 1 is completed in the following steps:

(39) A spring and a spacer sheet are placed in a CR2032 type coin cell anode shell, and then a Li metal is put inside, and then 2 L of liquid electrolyte is dropwise added to improve an interface contact; then, the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE is put inside and 2 L of liquid electrolyte is dropwise added again; then another Li metal is put inside while ensuring the Li metal at both sides of the electrolyte are centralized; finally, a cathode shell is covered and then sealed by a coin cell sealing machine to obtain the lithium symmetrical battery.

(40) The liquid electrolyte is obtained by dissolving LiPF.sub.6 in a mixed solvent of EC, DEC, and EMC, wherein the volume ratio of EC to DEC to EMC is 1:1:1, and the concentration of LiPF.sub.6 in the electrolyte is 1 mol L.sup.1.

(43) It can be seen from FIG. 6 that the critical current density of the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE is 0.6 mA cm.sup.2, and after doping with TiN nanofiber, the critical current density is increased to 0.75 mA cm.sup.2, indicating a higher inhibition effect on the lithium dendrite.

(44) Under the current density of 0.1 mA cm.sup.2 and the areal capacity of 0.1 mAh cm.sup.2, the test is performed on the service life of the lithium symmetrical battery assembled with the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE prepared in the control embodiment 1 and the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 7.

(45) FIG. 7 shows the service life of a lithium symmetrical battery assembled with the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE prepared in control embodiment 1 and the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, respectively.

(46) It can be seen from FIG. 7 that the lithium symmetrical battery assembled with the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE after cycles about 100 h, the overpotential expands quickly, which means the interface is degraded and hence causes a quick increase of impedance; after about 370 h, short-circuiting occurs to the symmetrical battery; after the TiN nanofiber is doped, the life of the quasi-solid-state electrolyte is significantly improved; while the lithium symmetrical battery assembled with the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in embodiment 1 has a lower overpotential and can run stably more than 1400 h, increasing its life to more than four times.

(47) Embodiment 3: the Li|QPE|LiFePO.sub.4 full cells assembled with the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in embodiment 1 are completed in the following steps:

(48) A spring and a spacer sheet are placed in a CR2032 type coin cell anode shell, and then a Li metal is put inside, and then 2 L of liquid electrolyte is dropwise added; then, the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE is put inside and 2 L of liquid electrolyte is dropwise added again; then a cathode is put inside while ensuring the cathode and lithium at both sides of the electrolyte are centralized; finally, a cathode shell is covered and then sealed by a coin cell sealing machine to obtain the Li|QPE|LiFePO.sub.4 full cells.

(49) The liquid electrolyte is obtained by dissolving LiPF.sub.6 in a mixed solvent of EC, DEC, and EMC, wherein the volume ratio of EC to DEC to EMC is 1:1:1, and the concentration of LiPF.sub.6 in the electrolyte is 1 mol L.sup.1.

(50) Based on the above method, the Li|PVDF-HFP|LiFePO.sub.4 full cells are assembled with the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE prepared in the control embodiment 1.

The LiLiFePO.sub.4 full cell assembled with the un-doped PVDF-HFP-based QPE prepared in the control embodiment 1 has an initial specific discharge capacity of about 114 mA h g.sup.1, and after completing 100 cycles, the specific discharge capacity is decreased to 75 mAh g.sup.1, with a capacity retention rate of 65.8%. While the performance of the cell using the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE has a significantly increase. The LiLiFePO.sub.4 full cell assembled with the TiN nanofiber-enhanced QPE prepared in the control embodiment 1 and embodiment 3 has an initial specific discharge capacity of 148 mAh g.sup.1 at 1 C. After completing 100 cycles, still has a capacity of 141 mAh g.sup.1 with a capacity retention rate of more than 95%, which proves that after the modification of TiN nanofiber, the electrochemical performances of the quasi-solid-state electrolyte are effectively increased.
