Mixtures of neutral polymers and lithium salts have the potential to serve as electrolytes in
next-generation rechargeable Li-ion batteries. The purpose of this review is to expose the …

Transport of ions in polymer electrolytes is of significant practical interest, however,
differences in the transport of anions and cations have not been comprehensively …

Liquid and supercritical carbon dioxide have attracted much interest as environmentally
benign solvents, but their practical use has been limited by the need for high CO2 pressures …

In the previous sections the emphasis was on the coherent evolution of a spin system as a
result of the secular part of the spin Hamiltonian. The secular Hamiltonian is effectively time …

We develop a theory for the thermodynamics of ion-containing polymer blends and diblock
copolymers, taking polyethylene oxide (PEO), polystyrene and lithium salts as an example …

The relation between mechanical and electrical relaxation in polymer/lithium-salt complexes
is a fascinating and still unresolved problem in condensed-matter physics, yet has an …

We develop a self-consistent field theory for salt-doped diblock copolymers, such as
polyethylene oxide (PEO)–polystyrene with added lithium salts. We account for the …

The behaviour of PEO8LiClO4 with different quantities of α-Al2O3 or γ-Al2O3 was
investigated using DSC, AC conductivity and 7Li NMR experiments. DSC results showed …

The importance of alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+) in chemical and biological
systems is well documented and a vast amount of literature exists [1–8]. The most visible …

Decoupling bulk mechanics and ion conduction in conventional ion conducting polymers is
challenging due to their mutual dependence on segmental chain dynamics. Polymers based …
