Abstract
The arrangement of crystalline domains in semicrystalline polymers is key to understanding how to optimize the nanostructured morphology for enabling better properties. For example, in polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO), the degree of crystallinity and arrangement of the crystallites within the PEO phase plays a crucial role in determining the physical properties of the electrolyte. Here, we used four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy to directly visualize the crystal domains within the PEO-rich region of the PS-b-PEO block copolymer and show the relative angle of the domain with respect to the PEO-PS interface. As demonstrated here, our analysis method is applicable to other electron-beam sensitive materials, especially semicrystalline polymers, to unveil their local phase condition and distribution.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have garnered extensive attention as potential alternatives to traditional liquid electrolytes, primarily due to their prowess in curbing lithium dendrite formation and preventing electrolyte leaks. The quest for SPEs that are both mechanically robust and exhibit superior ionic conductivity has been vigorous. However, achieving a harmonious balance between these two attributes remains a significant challenge. In this study, we introduce a novel quasi-solid electrolyte, ingeniously crafted from a poly(urethane-urea) network, enriched with lithium salts and plasticizers. This innovative composition not only boasts remarkable toughness but also ensures commendable ionic conductivity. Our post-gelation method yields gel polymer electrolytes that undergo rigorous evaluation, leading to an optimized version that stands out with its exceptional room-temperature ionic conductivity (2.94×10-4 S cm-1) and outstanding toughness (11.9 MJ m-3). Moreover, it demonstrates a broad electrochemical window (4.73 V), remarkable stability across a 600-hour cycle test, a high capacity retention exceeding 80 % after 100 cycles at 0.2 C, and a noteworthy self-healing capability. This quasi-solid polymer electrolyte emerges as a promising contender to replace current liquid electrolyte solutions.

Abstract
In this work, we report the successful synthesis of 17 unique compositions of a poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) ABC triblock terpolymer, poly(S-b-VBMIm-TFSI-b-HA), where S is styrene, VBMIm-TFSI is vinylbenzyl methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and HA is hexyl acrylate. Nine distinct morphologies were observed, including two-phase and three-phase disordered microphase separated (D2 and D3), two-phase hexagonally packed cylinders (C2), core-shell hexagonally packed cylinders (CCS), three-phase lamellae (L3), two-phase lamellae (L2), core-shell double gyroid (Q230), spheres-in-lamellae (LSI), and a three-phase hexagonal superlattice of cylinders (CSL). The LSI morphology was unambiguously confirmed using small-angle X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Morphology type significantly impacted the ion conductivity of the PIL ABC triblock terpolymers, where remarkable changes in morphology factor (normalized ion conductivity) were observed with only small changes in the conducting volume fraction, i.e., PIL block composition. An exceptionally high morphology factor of 2.0 was observed from the PIL ABC triblock terpolymer with a hexagonal superlattice morphology due to the three-dimensional narrow, continuous PIL nanodomains that accelerate ion conduction. Overall, this work demonstrates the first systematic study of highly frustrated single-ion conducting ABC triblock terpolymers with a diverse set of morphologies and exceptionally high morphology factors, enabling the exploration of transport-morphology relationships to guide the future design of highly conductive polymer electrolytes.

Abstract
We construct a coarse-grained molecular dynamics model based on poly(ethylene oxide) and lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide salt to examine the combined effects of temperature and salt concentration on the transport properties. Salt doping notably slows the dynamics of polymer chains and reduces ion diffusivity, resulting in a glass transition temperature increase proportional to the salt concentration. The polymer diffusion is shown to be well represented by a modified Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman (M-VFT) equation that accounts for both the temperature and salt concentration dependence. Furthermore, we find that, at any temperature, the concentration dependence of the conductivity is well described by the product of its infinite dilution value and a correction factor accounting for the reduced segmental mobility with increasing salt concentration. These results highlight the important role of polymer segmental mobility in the salt concentration dependence of ion conductivity for temperatures near and above the glass transition.

Abstract
Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, we report the structure and ion transport characteristics of a new class of solid polymer electrolytes that contain the biodegradable and mechanically stable biopolymer pectin. We used highly conducting ethylene carbonate (EC) as a solvent for simulating lithium-trifluoromethanesulfonimide (LiTFSI) salt containing different weight percentages of pectin. Our simulations reveal that the pectin chains reduce the coordination number of lithium ions around their counterions (and vice versa) because of stronger lithium-pectin interactions compared to lithium-TFSI interactions. Furthermore, the pectin is found to promote smaller ionic aggregates over larger ones, in contrast to the results typically reported for liquid and polymer electrolytes. We observed that the loading of pectin in EC-LiTFSI electrolytes increases their viscosity (η) and relaxation timescales (τc), indicating higher mechanical stability, and, consequently, a decrease of the mean squared displacement, diffusion coefficient (D), and Nernst-Einstein conductivity (σNE). Interestingly, while the lithium diffusivities are related to the ion-pair relaxation timescales as D+ ∼ τc-3.1, the TFSI- diffusivities exhibit excellent correlations with ion-pair relaxation timescales as D- ∼ τc-0.95. On the other hand, the NE conductivities are dictated by distinct transport mechanisms and scales with ion-pair relaxation timescales as σNE ∼ τc-1.85.

Abstract
Block copolymer composite electrolytes have gained extensive attention for their promising performance in ionic conductivity and mechanical properties, making them valuable for future technologies. The control of the ionic conductivity through the self-assembly of block copolymers, however, remains a great challenge, especially in confined environments. In this study, we prepare block copolymer composite electrolytes using polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO, SEO) as the polymer matrix and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates as the ceramic skeleton. The self-assembly of SEO creates nanoscale ion transport pathways in the PEO regions through ionic interactions with lithium salts. The nanopores of the AAO templates provide a confined environment for complex phase separation of SEO controlled by selective solvent vapor annealing. Our findings demonstrate that transforming self-assembled SEO structures allows for precise control of ion transport pathways with cylindrical structures exhibiting 20 times higher ionic conductivities than those of helical structures. For AAO templates with pore diameters of 20 nm (SEO-LiTFSI@AAO-20), the ionic conductivities are approximately 410 times higher than those with pore diameters of 200 nm (SEO-LiTFSI@AAO-200), owing to the larger specific surface areas within the smaller nanopores. Utilizing the self-assembly of SEO not only enables the construction of vertically aligned ion transport channels on various scales but also offers a fascinating approach to tailor the conductive capabilities of composite electrolytes, enhancing the ion transport efficiency and allowing for the flexible design of block copolymer composite electrolytes.

Abstract
Time-resolved Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) was used to measure diffusion in opaque and translucent samples. FTIR-ATR was used to measure the change in the absorbance near the heated ATR crystal surface. The infrared absorbance was then related to the concentration through the Beer-Lambert law. The sample used is a polymer electrolyte composed of lithium bis-trifluoromethanesulfonylimide (LiTFSI) salt in a block copolymer polystyrene-poly(ethylene oxide) (SEO). A new approach to introduce concentration gradients is presented using a temperature gradient that creates a small salt concentration gradient due to thermally driven mass diffusion (the Soret effect). This first method was compared to a second method that we reported using two laminated polymer electrolyte films of different salt concentrations. The thermal gradient study (method 1) covered three temperature differences of 10, 15, and 20 °C, while the second study (method 2) used three average molar ratios across isothermal temperatures ranging from 80 to 120 °C. The benefits and limitations of the new approach are reported, as is the activation energy for salt diffusion in this and similar SEO electrolytes. Developing new techniques to measure diffusion coefficients effectively will aid in the development of a variety of devices, including solid-state batteries and thermogalvanic cells, that are able to convert waste heat into electricity and improve the efficiency of power-generating systems. FTIR-ATR overcomes previous limitations in experimental techniques measuring diffusion coefficients. The results prove that thermal gradient FTIR-ATR is an effective and repeatable approach for determining Fickian diffusion coefficients in viscoelastic solids.

Abstract
We present a strategic approach for enhancing the ionic conductivity of block copolymer electrolytes. This was achieved by introducing mixed ionic liquids (ILs) with varying molar ratios, wherein the imidazolium cation was paired with either tetrafluoroborate (BF4) anion or bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (TFSI) anion. Two polymer matrices, poly(4-styrenesulfonate)-b-polymethylbutylene (SSMB) and poly(4-styrenesulfonyl (trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide)-b-polymethylbutylene (STMB), were synthesized for this purpose. All the SSMB and STMB containing mixed ILs showed hexagonal cylindrical structures, but the type of tethered acid group significantly influenced the interfacial properties. STMB electrolytes demonstrated enhanced segregation strength, which was attributed to strengthened Coulomb and hydrogen bonding interactions in the ionic domains, where the ILs were uniformly distributed. In contrast, the SSMB electrolytes exhibited increased concentration fluctuations because the BF4 anions were selectively sequestered at the block interfaces. This resulted in the effective confinement of imidazolium TFSI along the ionic domains, thereby preventing ion trapping in dead zones and facilitating rapid ion diffusion. Consequently, the SSMB electrolytes with mixed ILs demonstrated significantly improved ionic conductivities, surpassing the expected values based on the arithmetic average of the conductivities of each IL, whereas the ionic conductivity of the STMB was aligned with the expected average. The methodology explored in this study holds great promise for the development of solid-state polymer electrolytes.

Abstract
Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes (SICPEs) are considered as one of the most promising candidates for achieving lithium metal batteries (LMBs). However, the application of traditional SICPEs is hindered by their low ionic conductivity and poor mechanical stability. Herein, a self-standing and flexible polyurethane-based single-ion conductor membrane was prepared via covalent tethering of the trifluoromethanesulfonamide anion to polyurethane, which was synthesized using a facile reaction of diisocyanates with poly(ethylene oxide) and 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (or 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid). The polymer electrolyte exhibited excellent ionic conductivity, mechanical properties, lithium-ion transference number, thermal stability, and a broad electrochemical window because of the bulky anions and unique two-phase structures with lithium-ion nanochannels in the hard domains. Consequently, the plasticized electrolyte membrane showed exceptional stability and reliability in a Li||Li symmetric battery. The assembled LiFePO4||Li battery exhibited an outstanding capacity (∼180 mA h g-1), Coulombic efficiency (>96%), and capacity retention. This research provides a promising polymer electrolyte for high-performance LMBs.

Abstract
Polymer electrolytes (PEs) are a promising alternative to overcome shortcomings of conventional lithium ion batteries (LiBs) and make them safer for users. Introduction of self-healing features in PEs additionally leads to prolonged life-time of LIBs, thus tackling cost and environmental issues. We here present solvent free, self-healable, reprocessable, thermally stable, conductive poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) consisting of pyrrolidinium-based repeating units. PEO-functionalized styrene was used as a co-monomer for improving mechanical properties and introducing pendant OH groups in the polymer backbone to act as a transient crosslinking site for boric acid, leading to the formation of dynamic boronic ester bonds, thus forming a vitrimeric material. Dynamic boronic ester linkages allow reprocessing (at 40 °C), reshaping and self-healing ability of PEs. A series of vitrimeric PILs by varying both monomers ratio and lithium salt (LiTFSI) content was synthesized and characterized. The conductivity reached 10-5 S cm-1 at 50 °C in the optimized composition. Moreover, the PILs rheological properties fit the required melt flow behavior (above 120 °C) for 3D printing via fused deposition modeling (FDM), offering the possibility to design batteries with more complex and diverse architectures.

Improved Route to Linear Triblock Copolymers by Coupling with Glycidyl Ether-Activated Poly(ethylene oxide) Chains. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15092128. [PMID: 37177276 PMCID: PMC10180747 DOI: 10.3390/polym15092128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers (PEOz BCP) have been demonstrated to exhibit remarkably high lithium ion (Li+) conductivity for Li+ batteries applications. For linear poly(isoprene)-b-poly(styrene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymers (PIxPSyPEOz), a pronounced maximum ion conductivity was reported for short PEOz molecular weights around 2 kg mol-1. To later enable a systematic exploration of the influence of the PIx and PSy block lengths and related morphologies on the ion conductivity, a synthetic method is needed where the short PEOz block length can be kept constant, while the PIx and PSy block lengths could be systematically and independently varied. Here, we introduce a glycidyl ether route that allows covalent attachment of pre-synthesized glycidyl-end functionalized PEOz chains to terminate PIxPSy BCPs. The attachment proceeds to full conversion in a simplified and reproducible one-pot polymerization such that PIxPSyPEOz with narrow chain length distribution and a fixed PEOz block length of z = 1.9 kg mol-1 and a Đ = 1.03 are obtained. The successful quantitative end group modification of the PEOz block was verified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We demonstrate further that with a controlled casting process, ordered microphases with macroscopic long-range directional order can be fabricated, as demonstrated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It has already been shown in a patent, published by us, that BCPs from the synthesis method presented here exhibit comparable or even higher ionic conductivities than those previously published. Therefore, this PEOz BCP system is ideally suitable to relate BCP morphology, order and orientation to macroscopic Li+ conductivity in Li+ batteries.

Abstract
Star block copolymer electrolytes with a lithium-ion conducting phase are investigated in the present work to assess the influence of this complex architecture compared to that of the linear one, on both, bulk morphology and ionic conductivity. For that purpose, the controlled synthesis of a series of poly(styrene-co-benzyl methacrylate)-b-poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate] [P(S-co-BzMA)-b-POEGA] block copolymers (BCPs) by reversible addition-fragmentation transfer polymerization was performed from either a monofunctional or a tetrafunctional chain transfer agent containing trithiocarbonate groups. We emphasized how a small amount of styrene (6 mol %) drastically improved the control of the RAFT polymerization of benzyl methacrylate mediated by the tetrafunctional chain transfer agent. Transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering demonstrated a clear segregation of the BCPs in the presence of lithium salt. Interestingly, the star BCPs gave rise to highly ordered lamellar structures as compared to that of the linear analogues. Consequently, the reduced lamellae tortuosity of self-assembled star BCPs improved the lithium conductivity by more than 8 times at 30 °C for ∼30 wt % of the POEGA conductive phase.

Abstract
In this work, the advanced all solid-state block copolymer electrolytes (SBCPEs) for lithium-ion batteries with double conductive phases, poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(trimethyl-N-((2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-7-propyl)-ammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide) (PEO-b-PDM-dTFSI)/LiTFSI, were fabricated, in which the charged PDM-dTFSI block contained double quaternary ammonium cations and the PEO block was doped with LiTFSI. The disordered (DIS) and ordered lamellae (LAM) phase structures were achieved by adjusting the composition of the block copolymer and the doping ratio r. In addition, the presence of the hard PDM-dTFSI block and the formation of the LAM phase structure resulted in a good mechanical strength of the solid PEO-b-PDM-dTFSI/LiTFSI electrolyte, and it could maintain a high level of 104 Pa at 100 °C, which was around 10,000 times stronger than that of the PEO/LiTFSI electrolyte. Based on the good mechanical and electrochemical properties, the PEO-b-PDM-dTFSI/LiTFSI SBCPE exhibited excellent long-term galvanostatic cycle performance, indicating the strong ability to suppress lithium dendrites.

Abstract
Herein, we report the design of styrene-based poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) side-chain block copolymers featuring a microphase separation and their application as solid polymer electrolytes in high-voltage lithium-metal batteries. A straightforward synthesis was established, overcoming typical drawbacks of PEO block copolymers prepared by anionic polymerization or ester-based PEO side-chain copolymers. Both the PEO side-chain length and the LiTFSI content were varied, and the underlying relationships were elucidated in view of polymer compositions with high ionic conductivity. Subsequently, a selected composition was subjected to further analyses, including phase-separated morphology, providing not only excellent self-standing films with intrinsic mechanical stability but also the ability to suppress lithium dendrite growth as well as good flexibility, wettability, and good contacts with the electrodes. Furthermore, good thermal and electrochemical stability was demonstrated. To do so, linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry, lithium plating/stripping tests, and galvanostatic overcharging using high-voltage cathodes were conducted, demonstrating stable lithium-metal interfaces and a high oxidative stability of around 4.75 V. Consequently, cycling of Li||NMC622 cells did not exhibit commonly observed rapid cell failure or voltage noise associated with PEO-based electrolytes in Li||NMC622 cells, attributed to the high mechanical stability. A comprehensive view is provided, highlighting that the combination of PEO and high-voltage cathodes is not impossible per se.

Abstract
Smart electronics and wearable devices require batteries with increased energy density, enhanced safety, and improved mechanical flexibility. However, current state-of-the-art Li-based rechargeable batteries (LBRBs) use highly reactive and flowable liquid electrolytes, severely limiting their ability to meet the above requirements. Therefore, solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are introduced to tackle the issues of liquid electrolytes. Nevertheless, due to their low Li+ conductivity and Li+ transference number (LITN) (around 10-5 S cm-1 and 0.5, respectively), SPE-based room temperature LBRBs are still in their early stages of development. This paper reviews the principles of Li+ conduction inside SPEs and the corresponding strategies to improve the Li+ conductivity and LITN of SPEs. Some representative applications of SPEs in high-energy density, safe, and flexible LBRBs are then introduced and prospected.

Abstract
Solid-state polymer electrolytes and high-concentration liquid electrolytes, such as water-in-salt electrolytes and ionic liquids, are emerging materials to replace the flammable organic electrolytes widely used in industrial lithium-ion batteries. Extensive efforts have been made to understand the ion transport mechanisms and optimize the ion transport properties. This perspective reviews the current understanding of the ion transport and polymer dynamics in liquid and polymer electrolytes, comparing the similarities and differences in the two types of electrolytes. Combining recent experimental and theoretical findings, we attempt to connect and explain ion transport mechanisms in different types of small-molecule and polymer electrolytes from a theoretical perspective, linking the macroscopic transport coefficients to the microscopic, molecular properties such as the solvation environment of the ions, salt concentration, solvent/polymer molecular weight, ion pairing, and correlated ion motion. We emphasize universal features in the ion transport and polymer dynamics by highlighting the relevant time and length scales. Several outstanding questions and anticipated developments for electrolyte design are discussed, including the negative transference number, control of ion transport through precision synthesis, and development of predictive multiscale modeling approaches.

Abstract
Knowledge of intrinsic properties is of central importance for materials design and assessing suitability for specific applications. Self-assembling block copolymer electrolytes (BCEs) are of great interest for applications in solid-state energy storage devices. A fundamental understanding of ion transport properties, however, is hindered by the difficulty in deconvoluting extrinsic factors, such as defects, from intrinsic factors, such as the presence of interfaces between the domains. Here, we quantify the intrinsic ion transport properties of a model BCE system consisting of poly(styrene-block-ethylene oxide) (SEO) and lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt using a generalizable strategy of depositing thin films on interdigitated electrodes and self-assembling fully connected parallel lamellar structures throughout the films. Comparison between conductivity in homopolymer poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-LiTFSI electrolytes and the analogous conducting material in SEO over a range of salt concentrations (r, molar ratio of lithium ion to ethylene oxide repeat units) and temperatures reveals that between 20% and 50% of the PEO in SEO is inactive. Using mean-field theory calculations of the domain structure and monomer concentration profiles at domain interfaces-both of which vary substantially with salt concentration-the fraction of inactive PEO in the SEO, as derived from conductivity measurements, can be quantitatively reconciled with the fraction of PEO that is mixed with greater than a few volume percent of polystyrene. Despite the detrimental interfacial effects for ion transport in BCEs, the intrinsic conductivity of the SEO studied here (ca. 10-3 S/cm at 90 °C, r = 0.085) is an order of magnitude higher than reported values from bulk samples of similar molecular weight SEO (ca. 10-4 S/cm at 90 °C, r = 0.085). Overall, this work provides motivation and methods for pursuing improved BCE chemical design, interfacial engineering, and processing.

Abstract
Polymer networks with dynamic covalent cross-links act as solids but can flow at high temperatures. They have been widely explored as reprocessable and self-healing materials, but their use as solid electrolytes is limited. Here we report poly(ethylene oxide)-based networks with varying amounts of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) to understand the impact of a salt on the ion transport and network dynamics. We observed that the conductivity of our dynamic networks reached a maximum of 3.5 × 10-4 S/cm at an optimal LiTFSI concentration. Rheological measurements showed that the amount of LiTFSI significantly affects the mechanical properties, as the shear modulus varies between 1 and 10 MPa and the stress relaxation by 2 orders of magnitude. Additionally, we found that these networks can efficiently dissolve back to pure monomers and heal to recover their conductivity after damage, showing the potential of dynamic networks as sustainable solid electrolytes.

Abstract
Ion conducting block copolymers can overcome traditional limitations of homopolymer electrolytes by phase separating into nanoarchitectures that can be simultaneously optimized for two or more orthogonal material properties such as high ionic conductivity and mechanical stability. A key challenge in understanding the ion transport properties of these materials is the difficulty of extracting structure-function relationships without having complete knowledge of all nanoscale transport pathways in bulk samples. Here we demonstrate a method for deriving structure-transport relationships for ion conducting block copolymers using thin films and interdigitated electrodes. Well-defined and directly imaged structure in films of poly(styrene)-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) is controlled using techniques of directed self-assembly then the poly(2-vinylpyridine) is selectively converted into an ion conductor. The ion conductivity is found to be directly proportional to the total number of connected paths between electrodes and the path length. A single defect such as a dislocation anywhere in the path of an ion conducting route disconnects and precludes that pathway from contributing to the conductivity and results in an increase in the dielectric parameter of the film. When all the ion conduction pathways are blocked between electrodes, the conductivity is negligible, 4 orders of magnitude lower compared to a completely connected morphology and the dielectric parameter increases by a factor of 50. These results have profound implications for the interpretation, design, and processing of block copolymer electrolytes for applications as ion conducting membranes.
