Novel solid-state electrolytes based on zwitterionic plastic crystals with Li salts are reported and their application in Li batteries demonstrated. Their properties are compared with those of analogous plastic crystal/Li salt systems.
Blending zwitterions with poly(vinyl alcohol) creates a high capacitance material when humidified. This material facilitates both n-type and p-type transistor function at low voltages.
Zwitterion-based composites, formed using lithium sulfonamide-functionalized polymer nanoparticles, are promising materials for the development of solid-state electrolytes for next-generation energy storage devices, with improved safety.
We conducted molecular dynamics simulations of aqueous salt solutions in the zwitterion-functionalized nanopore. Our results showed that reversing ZI dipole orientation promotes permselectivity of Na+/Cs+ over Li+ among monovalent cations.
The [EMIM]+ additive can not only suppress polyiodide shuttling via forming insoluble [EMIM]I3, but also inhibit the side reactions on the Zn counter electrode, significantly enhancing the optical performance and cycling stability of the EC system.
