Gel polymer electrolytes based on single-ion conducting polyelectrolyte (SICP) and SICP-functionalized carbon nanotubes

Abstract

Single-ion conducting polyelectrolytes (SICPs) functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-SICP) were prepared. A 0.02 wt% of MWCNT-SICP is effective to bring 2.1-times of ionic conductivity and a high lithium transference number of 0.87 to the corresponding gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), to demonstrate a promising platform for designs and preparation of GPEs.
