Current interest toward ionic liquids (ILs) stems from some of their novel characteristics, like
low vapor pressure, thermal stability, and nonflammability, integrated through high ionic …

Polymer composite electrolytes (PCEs), ie, materials combining the disciplines of polymer
chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and electrochemistry, have received tremendous attention …

We present a brief overview of current developments in the field of polymer electrolytes, with
the focus on single-ion conducting polymers. The latter have significant advantages relative …

Increasing demand of energy with an exponential depletion of fossil fuel has persuaded the
scientific community to search for renewable and sustainable sources of energy. Lack of …

The use of polymer electrolytes instead of liquid organic systems is considered key for
enhancing the safety of lithium batteries and may, in addition, enable the transition to high …

Solid-state polymer electrolytes and high-concentration liquid electrolytes, such as water-in-
salt electrolytes and ionic liquids, are emerging materials to replace the flammable organic …

The usual understanding in polymer electrolyte design is that an increase in the polymer
dielectric constant results in reduced ion aggregation and therefore increased ionic …

Salt-doped polymers without added solvents have the potential to be nonflammable, robust
electrolytes for batteries but suffer from low ion conductivity. Using bulky anions with …

The present work studies the mechanisms controlling the energy barrier for ion hopping in
conducting polymers. Polymer electrolytes usually show Arrhenius-like temperature …

Composite-solid electrolytes, in which ion-conducting polymers are combined with
superionic ceramics, could revolutionize electrochemical-energy-storage devices enabling …
