Sequencing polymers to enable solid-state lithium batteries
Nature Materials, Published online: 16 October 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01693-z
Solid polymer electrolytes are crucial for the development of lithium batteries, but their lower ionic conductivity compared with liquid/ceramics at room temperature limits their practical use. Precise positioning of designed repeating units in alternating polymer sequences now allows the Li+ conductivity to be tuned by up to three orders of magnitude.Nature Materials, Published online: 16 October 2023; doi:10.1038/s41563-023-01693-zSolid polymer electrolytes are crucial for the development of lithium batteries, but their lower ionic conductivity compared with liquid/ceramics at room temperature limits their practical use.
