Highly efficient solid polymer electrolytes using ion containing polymer microgels†
Abstract
A solid polymer electrolyte exhibiting high ionic conductivity (reaching ca. 10−4.8 S cm−1 at 25 °C) is fabricated using ion containing polymer microgels of lithium tris(perfluorophenyl) (2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-(2-(2-(vinyloxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)phenyl) borate. This solid polymer electrolyte shows great possibilities for use in large-capacity lithium ion batteries.
