TABLE 1
It can be seen that the particle diameters and the static contact angles with water of the hydrophobic solid electrolytes prepared in the above 3 examples are shown in table 1. Wherein the particle size of the prepared hydrophobic solid electrolyte is detected by a Malvern particle size analyzer. Particle size detection shows that the particle size of the solid electrolyte before and after modification is not changed. The static contact angle of the solid electrolyte nanoparticles with water was tested by an OCA 40Micro contact angle meter. The hydrophobic property of the solid electrolyte particles is characterized by the static contact angle of the particles and water, and the larger the static contact angle with water, the better the hydrophobic property of the nano solid electrolyte. The measurement shows that the static antenna is obviously enlarged after the dry hydrophobic modification of the invention, which shows that the hydrophobicity of the material is obviously improved.
