Nanostructured Organic-Inorganic Solid Electrolytes 2018-067
APPLICATIONS: Lithium batteries ABSTRACT: Nanostructured solid electrolytes containing ion-conducting domains and rigid nonconducting domains are obtained by block copolymer self-assembly. Here, we report on the synthesis and characteristics of mixtures of a hybrid diblock copolymer with an organic and inorganic block: poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(acryloisobutyl … [Read more...] about Nanostructured Organic-Inorganic Solid Electrolytes 2018-067
Solid Perfluoropolyether Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries 2016-018
APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY: Lithium batteries ABSTRACT: Perfluoropolyethers (PFPE) are commercially available non-flammable short chain polymeric liquids. End-functionalized PFPE chains solvate lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt and these mixtures can be used as electrolytes for lithium (Li) batteries. Here we synthesize and characterize a new … [Read more...] about Solid Perfluoropolyether Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries 2016-018
