In this review, the latest updates in poly (ethylene oxide) based electrolytes are summarized.
The ultimate goal of researchers globally is towards the development of free-standing solid …

Methods for the estimation of Lewis basicity of anions, especially of those showing low and
very low donor properties are reported. These properties are of importance for technical …

Chitosan is the product when partially deacetylated chitin dissolves in dilute acetic acid. As
such, depending on the degree of deacetylation, the carbonyl, C O NHR band can be …

Organic− inorganic hybrids prepared by the sol− gel process are investigated by infrared
spectroscopy at room temperature. The matrix of the so-called ureasils is a silica network to …

While polymer electrolytes hold the promise of improving safety and mechanical durability of
electrochemical devices, most suffer from relatively low ionic conductivities especially at …

The electrolyte plays an important role in governing the performance of Li-ion batteries. To
understand more about the role of the electrolyte, transport properties such as the lithium …

The polymer electrolytes composed of poly (vinyl acetate)(PVAc) with various stoichiometric
ratios of lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) salt have been prepared by solution casting method …

Sol− gel derived poly (oxyethylene)/siloxane hybrids (di-urethanesils) doped with europium
triflate, Eu (CF3SO3) 3, were examined by XRD, 13C and 29Si MAS NMR and FT-IR, FT …

All non-aqueous lithium battery electrolytes are Lewis bases that interact with cations. Unlike
water, they do not interact with anions. The result is a high degree of ion pairing and the …

Al batteries are yet rather unexplored as a promising technology to respond to the growing
electrochemical energy storage demands. Despite the outstanding electrochemical activity …
