Perspectives for Polymer Electrolytes: A View from Fundamentals of Ionic Conductivity

We present a brief overview of current developments in the field of polymer electrolytes, with the focus on single-ion conducting polymers. The latter have significant advantages relative to electrolytes with dual-ion conductivity for use in energy storage devices. First we discuss various mechanisms of ionic conductivity in polymers and fundamental limitations imposed by these mechanisms. We also emphasize the role of ion–ion correlations in conductivity that are not negligible in concentrated and semidilute ionic systems. Next we discuss several classes of polymer electrolytes (gels, block copolymers, and composites) that are already employed or have good potential to be employed in current battery technologies. At the end we discuss perspectives for the design of dry single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes with required room temperature conductivity.

Unraveling Ion Transport in Trifluoromethanesulfonimide Pentablock Copolymer Membranes in Nonaqueous Electrolytes

Cation exchange membranes provide a key function in various nonaqueous energy storage technologies. As such, understanding the role of a nonaqueous liquid electrolyte on ion transport through a membrane is imperative. This study unravels relationships between membrane ion transport and electrolyte salt concentration utilizing a trifluoromethanesulfonimide-based pentablock copolymer membrane with polar and nonpolar nonaqueous electrolyte solutions. Here, the membrane plasticized with propylene carbonate (PC) exhibits a single-ion conductivity of 9.3 × 10 –6 S/cm at 25 °C. Tailoring the nonaqueous electrolyte and electrolyte salt concentration enables the single-ion conducting membrane to maintain a high cation transport number, >0.75, and boost ion conductivity more than 10 times to 1.3 × 10 –4 S/cm at 25 °C for the PC-based electrolyte solution. The findings provide critically important design parameters for energy storage systems utilizing nonaqueous electrolytes, such as Li- and Na-ion batteries and nonaqueous flow battery technologies.

Pathway to High Rate Capability in Interconnected Composite Electrolytes: A Case Study with a Single-Ion-Conducting Polymer

In a three-dimensional interconnected polymer/ceramic composite electrolyte (3D composite), both the polymer and ceramic electrolyte phases are individually connected with a polymer-rich surface layer to provide conformal contact with the electrodes. This work investigates how the transference number of the polymer phase affects the electrochemical properties of the 3D composite. Here, we fabricate a 3D composite using a “single-ion” conducting polymer electrolyte (PE), Li 1+x+y Al x Ti 2–x Si y P 3–y O 12 (LICGC) ceramic, and compare its electrochemical properties with the neat polymer, and with a 3D composite made with a dual-ion-conducting PE (we reported previously). Our results reveal that changing the polymer phase from a dual-ion-conducting PE to a single-ion-conducting PE results in a 9-fold increase in the limiting current density, although the interfacial impedance between the polymer and LICGC ceramic remains high (and contributes significantly to the total impedance of the 3D composite). Further, the limiting current density of the 3D composite is dictated by the PE and minimally affected by the ceramic scaffold. The ceramic scaffold, however, helps to ease the concentration gradient buildup within the PE and moderately improves the overall transference number. The LICGC scaffold does not provide any additional Li dendrite resistance due to its high reactivity with Li.

In-situ polymerized and crosslinked electrolytes with interchangeable Li/Na transport for battery applications

The next generation of batteries requires electrolytes with high conductivity, mechanical stability, good adhesion with electrodes, wide electrochemical windows, and scalability. The present study introduces a concept of doped quasi single-ion conducting copolymers based on methacrylate-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI) and vinyl ethylene carbonate which at room temperature are mechanically robust and display ionic conductivities of ~0.1 mS/cm. These electrolytes can be polymerized/crosslinked in-situ, making them easily implementable in current battery manufacturing technologies. They also allow for switching between Li + and Na + transport using simple chemistry procedures. To demonstrate their potential for battery applications, the newly developed Li conductors have been tested in symmetric cells, exhibiting overall impedance below 350 Ohm and plating/stripping stability up to 1 mA/cm 2 . Moreover, lithium metal batteries incorporating this electrolyte and high-voltage Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) cathodes show good capacity retention (~79%) during charging and discharging for 80 cycles at C/10 rate and a Coulombic efficiency close to 100% in the entire measurement range. The compositional, mechanical and electrochemical versatility of these electrolytes opens new venues for the design of polymer-based batteries capable of fast charging and extended cycle life, aligning with the current global green energy storage strategies.

Percolated Ionic Aggregate Morphologies and Decoupled Ion Transport in Precise Sulfonated Polymers Synthesized by Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization

Here, we describe a set of precise single-ion conducting polymers that form self-assembled percolated ionic aggregates in glassy polymer matrices and have decoupled transport of metal cations. These precise single-ion conductors (SICs), synthesized by a scalable ring-opening metathesis polymerization, consist of a polyethylene backbone with a sulfonated phenyl group pendant on every fifth carbon and are fully neutralized by a counterion X + (Li + , Na + , or Cs + ). Experimental X-ray scattering measurements and fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are in good agreement. The MD simulations show that the ionic groups nanophase separate from the polymer backbone to form percolating ionic aggregates. Using graph theory, we find that within the Li + - and Na + -neutralized polymers the percolated aggregates exhibit planar and ribbon-like configurations at intermediate length scales, while the percolated aggregates within the Cs + -neutralized polymers are more isotropic. Electrical impedance spectroscopy measurements show that the ionic conductivities exhibit Arrhenius behavior, with conductivities of 10 –7 to 10 –6 S/cm at 180 °C. In the MD simulations, the cations move between sulfonate groups in the percolated aggregates, larger ions travel further, and overall cations travel further than the polymer backbones, indicating a decoupled ion-transport mechanism. Thus, the percolated ionic aggregates in these polymers can serve as pathways to facilitate decoupled ion motion through a glassy polymer matrix.

Critical role of polymer-ceramic ion exchange for high conductivity composite electrolytes

Polymer-ceramic composites offer a path to enhance the transport and mechanical properties of solid electrolytes. However, an in-depth understanding of the extent and role of ion transport along and across polymer-ceramic interfaces in these systems is lacking. We have recently shown that Li-conducting Li 0.11 Na 0.24 K 0.02 La 0.43 TiO 2.82 (LMTO) nanorods can be prepared by a molten flux method, and the addition of 30–50 weight (wt.)% LMTO to a bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide-vinyl ethylene carbonate-based single-ion conducting (SIC) polymer electrolyte leads to a two-fold enhancement in Li-ion conductivity, from 1.4 to 3.0 × 10 −5 S/cm at 30 °C. In the present study, we use NMR methods to identify the Li-ion transport pathways and determine the timescale of chemical exchange between the SIC polymer and LMTO ceramic components. Tracer exchange NMR indicates preferential transport through the polymer or polymer-interfacial regions, and exchange spectroscopy (EXSY) and a new isotope exchange method reveal negligible Li exchange between the SIC polymer and LMTO ceramic up to several days. Here, LMTO nanorods act as a passive filler. Our results further highlight that significant (e.g., 10- or 100-fold) conductivity enhancements in composite electrolytes can only be achieved 1) with ionically-conductive fillers, and 2) when both the ceramic and polymer components actively participate in long-range transport. For this, fast interfacial ion exchange is needed. In conclusion, this leads us to introduce a critical interfacial ion exchange time to evaluate whether a filler actively contributes to conduction in a composite electrolyte, and screen for promising polymer-ceramic pairings to accelerate the development of high conductivity solid electrolytes.

Enabling 4C Fast Charging of Lithium–Ion Batteries by Coating Graphite with a Solid–State Electrolyte

Enabling fast-charging (≥4C) of lithium-ion batteries is an important challenge to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles. However, the desire to maximize energy density has driven the use of increasingly thick electrodes, which hinders rate capability. Herein, atomic layer deposition is used to coat a single-ion conducting solid electrolyte (Li 3 BO 3 -Li 2 CO 3 ) onto postcalendered graphite electrodes, forming an artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). When compared to uncoated control electrodes, the solid electrolyte coating: 1) eliminates natural SEI formation during preconditioning; 2) decreases interphase impedance by >75% compared to the natural SEI; and 3) extends cycle life under 4C charging conditions, enabling retention of 80% capacity after 500 cycles (compared to 12 cycles in the uncoated control) in pouch cells with >3 mAh cm –2 loading. Furthermore, this work demonstrates that 4C charging without Li plating can be achieved through purely interfacial modification without sacrificing energy density and sheds new light on the role of the SEI in Li plating and fast-charge performance.

Mechanistic insight into the effects of A-site doping in perovskite nanorods on interfacial Li-ion and Na-ion transport in polymer–perovskite composite electrolytes

Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) offer a promising pathway to safer and higher energy density electrochemical energy storage yet optimizing interfacial ion transport remains a critical challenge due to high resistances and a lack of understanding of the complex interfacial electrostatic interactions. This work investigates the mechanistic origins of the interfacial ion transport enhancement in single-ion conducting (SIC) polymer electrolytes filled with A-site disordered perovskite LaxMyTiOz (LMTO) (M = Li, Na, K) nanorods. By integrating Density Functional Theory (DFT) with broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and pulsed-field-gradient NMR (PFG-NMR), we analyze the ion transport behavior in Li-based and Na-based SIC systems containing compositionally distinct LMTO fillers (LMTO800 and LMTO900). Specifically, we introduce the site-to-site energy difference (ΔE) descriptor, which extends beyond single-site descriptors such as adsorption energy and ion binding energies. We demonstrate that ΔE together with ion binding energies provide a more comprehensive picture of the energy landscape at the polymer–ceramic interface. The combined DFT and experimental results show that A-site doping in the ceramic filler can effectively modulate ΔE and ion binding energies, creating a favorable potential energy landscape that promotes enhanced ion transport along the interface. This comprehensive study illustrates the impact of ceramic compositional tuning on interfacial ion transport and provides materials design rules towards real-world applications.

Status and Targets for Polymer-Based Solid-State Batteries for Electric Vehicle Applications

There is growing interest in the development of Li-metal-based solid state batteries, driven by their promise in improving the energy density to satisfy electric vehicle requirements. In this work, we examine the status of Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) based solid state batteries for electric vehicle applications using a continuum scale mathematical model. We examine LiFePO4(LFP) cathode/lithium metal anode batteries containing three different electrolytes, namely (1) a liquid electrolyte, (2) the polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (SEO) block copolymer electrolyte, and (3) a single-ion conducting (SIC) block copolymer electrolyte, with the liquid electrolyte serving as the baseline for the comparison. By using an optimization procedure, we assemble "virtual" batteries to identify the optimal design that maximizes energy density while allowing the power requirements of electric vehicles (EVs) to be satisfied. Results show the present status of different SPEs are still below what is considered acceptable and further improvements are needed to achieve electric vehicle targets. The optimization studies conducted here show that for low transference number electrolytes (similar to 0.2) the conductivity target is 5 x 10(-3)S cm(-1), while for a unity transference number electrolyte this target decreases to 4 x 10(-4)S cm(-1). These targets provide guidance for polymer synthesis researchers to develop better polymers for use in EVs.

Polymer–Ceramic Composite Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries: A Comparison between the Single-Ion-Conducting Polymer Matrix and Its Counterpart

Single-ion-conducting polymer electrolytes are attractive to use in lithium batteries as the transference number of the lithium cation approaches unity. This helps prevent concentration gradients across the electrolyte, which can result in dendrite formation. The addition of ceramic particles to polymer electrolytes at high loadings can increase the mechanical strength of the polymer, which can also help suppress dendrite formation. Here, a single-ion-conducting polymer electrolyte is blended with lithium-conducting oxide ceramic particles to make a composite electrolyte. This electrolyte is studied in comparison to a composite electrolyte containing freely dissolved lithium salt. It is found that the addition of ceramic particles to the single-ion-conducting polymer can result in increased cation dissociation and consequent increased ionic conductivity. The electrolytes are cycled in lithium symmetrical cells, and it is found that the ceramic-containing electrolytes show increased interfacial stability with the lithium metal compared to the pristine polymer electrolytes. Our findings shed light on how to optimize the polymer host chemistry to form composite electrolytes that can meet the challenging requirements to stabilize the lithium metal anode.

Emergent Nanostructure and Ion Transport in Polyzwitterion/Polyanion Blends

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) hold great promise for the advancement of next-generation energy storage devices. However, the ion transport mechanism in SPEs remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigate blends of poly(1-(3-sulfonatopropyl)-2-vinylpyridinium) (P2VPPS) and poly(lithium (trifluoromethane)sulfonimide methacrylate) (P(MTFSI)Li) of varying molar ratios to develop a mechanistic understanding of ionic conductivity in a miscible polyzwitterion/polyanion system. Polyanions can act as single-ion conductors, but conductivity is often prohibitively low due to the decreased segmental mobility and ion aggregation. Here, it is hypothesized that the introduction of a polyzwitterion would competitively interact with the polyanion charge groups to realize improvements in the conductivity. Attractive interactions between the polyanions and polyzwitterions are confirmed by the blend’s increased glass transition temperature using the Gordon–Taylor equation. Notably, an ordered local nanostructure (∼24 Å) emerged in the P2VPPS/P(MTFSI)Li system at certain compositions, as characterized by small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS). Concurrent with the emergence of this structure, broadband dielectric spectroscopy confirmed improvements in ionic conductivity. The highest conductivity is observed at a specific blend ratio P2VPPS:P(MTFSI)Li = 0.2:1 in the glassy state and 0.3:1 in the rubbery state, corresponding to the lowest effective activation energy (E*). Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations further emphasize the role of complexation between polyzwitterion and polyanion chains, correlating with the emergence of a new peak in SAXS and SANS for the blends. This work provides a fresh perspective on the role of local structural design in developing SPEs and offers insights into the morphological effects on ionic conductivity.

Effect of Tethering Anions in Block Copolymer Electrolytes via Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Ion-containing block copolymers (BCPs) are promising solid-state electrolytes as they can combine ion conduction and mechanical robustness via multiple microphases. However, salt-doped BCPs can have low ion conduction and transference number. One strategy to increase transference number is to tether anions to the polymer backbone (creating a single-ion conductor), though this may impact cation mobility. Leveraging coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, we compare the effects of ion concentration and polymer dielectric constant on BCPs with and without bonding anions to the chain (without changing any other chemical properties). We find that single-ion BCPs have higher cation conductivity than analogous salt-doped BCPs, especially at moderate ion concentrations. Furthermore, we also compare several structural features of these systems; notably, tethering anions causes the ions to spread more evenly throughout the conducting phase, which is related to improved cation conduction.

Design of robust and versatile hydrocarbon-based single-ion-conducting polymer electrolytes

Hydrocarbon-based polymers offer several advantages, including lower environmental impacts, cost effectiveness, and the ability to finely tune properties. Here, we have developed trifluoromethanesulfonimide (TFSI)-functionalized poly(norbornene) (PNB) polymers utilizing a specifically designed oxa-Michael addition of a vinyl TFSI anion to an alcohol. Our results reveal that PNB-TFSI derivatives exhibit superior thermal stability and mechanical robustness compared with Nafion. The optimized PNB-TFSI-H-48 polymer (IEC 1.86 mmol/g) exhibits equivalent performance to Nafion as an anode ionomer in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Exchanging the counter ion to Li + enables PNB-TFSI to be used for Li-ion battery applications. Propylene carbonate plasticized PNB-TFSI derivatives achieve an Li-ion conductivity of over 10 −5 S/cm at 30°C. This Li polymer electrolyte exhibits excellent electrochemical stability (5 V vs. Li + /Li) and good cycling in a Li symmetric cell. These results highlight the potential and rational design of PNB-TFSI polymers for next-generation energy storage and conversion technologies.

Ubiquity of amplitude-modulated magnetic ordering in the H - T phase diagram of the frustrated non-Fermi-liquid YbAgGe

YbAgGe contains a magnetic geometrically frustrated kagome-like lattice that also features significant local single-ion anisotropy. The electronic state is established by hybridization of 4f and conduction electrons leading to heavy electronic masses. The competition between these various interactions leads to nontrivial behavior under external magnetic field, including a sequence of magnetic phase transitions, non-Fermi-liquid states, and possibly a quantum critical point. We present a series of neutron diffraction experiments performed in the mK temperature range and under magnetic fields up to 8 T in the hexagonal plane, revealing the microscopic nature of the first four subsequent magnetic states of this phase diagram. The magnetic phases are associated with the propagation vectors K 1 =($\frac{1}{3}$ 0 $\frac{1}{3}$) for H < 2 T, K 2 = (0 0 0.32) for 2 T < H < 3 T, K 1 = ($\frac{1}{3}$ 0 $\frac{1}{3}$) for 3 T < H < 4.5 T and k 3 = (0.195 0.195 0.38) for 4.5 T < H < 7 T. Our structural refinements reveal a strong modulation of the magnetic moment amplitude in all phases. We observe that the ordered moments of the three magnetically different Yb sites become increasingly different in field, which complies with the principle local anisotropy directions relative to the field direction. While the ordered moments are aligned predominantly in the hexagonal plane, we also find a significant out-of-plane component and a ferromagnetic contribution above 2 T. Here we discuss possible scenarios that may evolve around the phase boundary at 4.5 T, which is associated with putative quantum criticality as identified by various bulk probes. We propose further steps that are required to better understand the microscopic interactions in this material.

Ion Transport in Batteries with Polymer Electrolytes

We discuss polymer electrolytes for use in rechargeable lithium batteries. Polymer electrolytes have the potential to enable batteries with lithium metal anodes. These batteries have significantly higher theoretical energy densities than current lithium-ion batteries. We consider binary mixtures of polymers and salts. We also cover more complex systems such as polymer electrolytes swollen with a solvent (gel polymer electrolytes) and microphase separated polymer electrolytes. By covalently attaching the anions to the chains in a polymer solid, one obtains a single-ion conductor. We mainly focus on experiments wherein the polymer electrolyte is placed between two lithium metal electrodes. These experiments enable the determination of three transport parameters, ionic conductivity, salt diffusion coefficient, and transference number, and the thermodynamic factor. The properties of dry polymer electrolytes are contrasted with those of gel polymer electrolytes. The gel systems exhibit higher conductivity while the dry systems exhibit superior mechanical properties. We discuss interfacial impedance when lithium metal is contacted with polymer electrolytes and the importance of coulombic efficiency.

Role of Pairwise Reactions on the Synthesis of Li 0.3 La 0.57 TiO 3 and the Resulting Structure–Property Correlations

The performance of single-ion conductors is highly sensitive to the material’s defect chemistry. Tuning these defects is limited for solid-state reactions as they occur at particle–particle interfaces, which provide a complex evolving energy landscape for atomic rearrangement and product formation. In this report, we investigate the (1) order of addition and (2) lithium precursor decomposition temperature and their effect on the synthesis and grain boundary conductivity of the perovskite lithium lanthanum titanium oxide (LLTO). We use an intimately mixed sol–gel, a solid-state reaction of Li precursor + La 2 O 3 + TiO 2 , and Li precursor + amorphous La 0.57 TiO x as different chemical routes to change the way in which the elements are brought together. The results show that the perovskite can accommodate a wide range of Li deficiencies (upward of 50%) while maintaining the tetragonal LLTO structure, indicating that X-ray diffraction (XRD) is insufficient to fully characterize the chemical nature of the product (i.e., Li-deficient LLTO may behave differently than stoichiometric LLTO). Variations in the relative intensities of different reflections in XRD suggest variations in the La ordering within the crystal structure between synthesis methods. Furthermore, the choice of the precursor and the order of addition of the reactants lower the time required to form a pure phase. Density functional theory calculations of the formation energy of possible reaction intermediates support the hypothesis that a greater thermodynamic driving force to form LLTO leads to a greater LLTO yield. Here, the retention of lithium is correlated with the thermal decomposition temperature of the Li precursor and the starting material mixing strategy. Taking the results together suggests that cations that share a site with Li should be mixed early to avoid ordering. Such cation ordering inhibits Li motion, leading to higher Li ion resistance.

Long-range magnetic order with disordered spin orientations in a high-entropy antiferromagnet

Disorder in magnetic systems typically suppresses long-range order, promoting short-range states such as spin glasses and magnetic clusters. This is particularly prominent in high-entropy materials, characterized by the random distributions of local magnetic entities and exchange interactions. However, in rare exceptions, long-range magnetic order can persist in high-entropy systems, while the microscopic characters and underlying mechanisms remain elusive, especially the magnetic behaviors of individual elements. Here, combining neutron diffraction and resonant soft x-ray scattering, we have conducted an element-specific investigation into the magnetic order of a high-entropy honeycomb-lattice van der Waals material (Mn 1/4 Fe 1/4 Co 1/4 Ni 1/4 )PS 3 . Despite significant atomic disorder, long-range zigzag antiferromagnetic order is observed below 72 K, with all four transition-metal elements participating in a unified phase transition. However, the spin orientations of various elements are distinct, attributed to the competition between single-ion anisotropies and exchange interactions. Our findings showcase a novel form of long-range magnetic order with disordered spin orientations, which is synergically stabilized by distinct magnetic elements in a high entropy magnet, offering a new paradigm for understanding complex magnetic systems.

Localized High-Concentration Electrolytes Get More Localized

Liquid electrolytes in batteries are typically treated as macroscopically homogeneous ionic transport media, despite having complex chemical composition and atomistic solvation structures, thus leaving a knowledge gap of microstructural characteristics. A promising electrolyte system design has recently been developed with the title of a localized high-concentration electrolyte (LHCE). These electrolytes are a summation of three components – a charge-carrying salt, a solvent that solvates the salt, and a diluent that is sparingly interactive with the salt in terms of ion solvation. This creates the perception of a high-concentration electrolyte (HCE) with high anion-cation interactions that supports a salt-derived, stable solid-electrolyte interphase, while an LHCE improves bulk electrolyte properties, such as ionic conductivity and viscosity, when compared to an HCE. Much trial by error design of this LHCE concept has been supported by simulations to confirm ionic interactions, cycling data to confirm cell stability, and post-mortem analysis to provide evidence of mechanisms. However, a systematic design to extend the capabilities of LHCEs is still to be desired. Here, we analyzed a specific LHCE mixture to dictate the best viable mixture that extends the localization of solvation structures while maintaining viable cell-level capabilities. We seek to observe and understand solvent-to-salt interactions that impact electrolyte performance. These interactions range from single-ion solvation, multidentate interactions (i.e., solvation-driven clustering), to more widespread network-level interactions. With the support of both experimental and computational analysis of different electrolyte features, we have begun a methodology of formulating the most ideal LHCE mixtures for improving the cyclability of high-capacity battery chemistries.
