Design of Polymer-Supported, Low Volatility Gel Electrolytes

摘要

1. Ionic liquid-based gels (ionogels) are promising solid electrolytes for flexible, safe energy storage devices of the future 2. lonogel electrolytes can be fabricated in situ within devices using a variety of synthetic strategies 3. Gel ionic conductivity, capacitance can approach those of neat IL 4. Thoughtful selection of supporting scaffold functionality can be used to incorporate desired features (e.g. higher ionic conductivity, tunable modulus, spontaneous IL separation/recovery).
