LAP (Lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate, >99.5%) as Water-Soluble Photoinitiator for Solid-State & Gel Polymer Electrolytes (GPEs), 1-5 g/bottle, CSSGPEWSPILAP

Its functional roles in GPEs synthesis are: (1) Rapid In Situ UV-Curing of Aqueous and Zinc-Ion GPEs: LAP is the premier photoinitiator for aqueous rechargeable systems—such as aqueous zinc-ion batteries utilizing hydrogel electrolytes (e.g., polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol [PVA], or GelMA matrices plasticized with Zn(OTf)2 or ZnSO4). It enables rapid, room-temperature gelation of liquid aqueous precursors inside sealed cell assemblies. (2) Elimination of Organic Solvents: By operating entirely within aqueous solution, LAP eliminates the need for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or organic co-solvents during electrolyte preparation, enhancing environmental safety and thermal stability. (3) Uniform 3D Network Formation: Because LAP dissolves homogeneously into aqueous precursor solutions containing dissolved salts and hydrophilic crosslinkers, free radicals are generated uniformly throughout the separator and electrode pores, establishing a robust 3D polymer mesh with high ionic conductivity.
