Composite, Polymer-Based Electrolytes for Advanced Batteries.

摘要

The series of investigations based on synthesis, physical characterization, charge transport measurements, and appropriate modeling studies has been completed, in the general area of polymer based electrolyte systems. Several substantive advances towards new, improved performance electrolyte materials both for low temperature fuel cell applications and for advanced secondary lithium battery materials have been reported. Particular advances in discovery areas include rigid polymer based electrolyte systems using carbonates, Lewis acid enhancement mechanisms for ionic conductivity in salts, optimization of local basicity and polyelectrolytes, and understanding of a phase diagram in mixed polymer complex polyelectrolyte structures.
