Abstract
This present study illustrates the synthesis and preparation of polyoxanorbornene-based bottlebrush polymers with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) side chains by ring-opening metathesis polymerization for solid polymer electrolytes (SPE). In addition to the conductive PEO side chains, the polyoxanorbornene backbones may act as another ion conductor to further promote Li-ion movement within the SPE matrix. These results suggest that these bottlebrush polymer electrolytes provide impressively high ionic conductivity of 7.12 × 10-4 S cm-1 at room temperature and excellent electrochemical performance, including high-rate capabilities and cycling stability when paired with a Li metal anode and a LiFePO4 cathode. The new design paradigm, which has dual ionic conductive pathways, provides an unexplored avenue for inventing new SPEs and emphasizes the importance of molecular engineering to develop highly stable and conductive polymer electrolytes for lithium-metal batteries (LMB).

Abstract
Li-ions battery is widely used and recognized, but its energy density based on organic electrolytes has approached the theoretical upper limit, while the use of organic electrolytes also brings some safety hazards (leakage and flammability). Polymer electrolytes (PEs) are expected to fundamentally solve the safety problem and improve energy density. Therefore, Li-ions battery based on solid PE has become a research hotspot in recent years. However, low ionic conductivity and poor mechanical properties, as well as a narrow electrochemical window limit its further development. Dendritic PEs with unique topology structure has low crystallinity, high segmental mobility, and reduced chain entanglement, providing a new avenue for designing high-performance PEs. In this review, the basic concept and synthetic chemistry of dendritic polymers are first introduced. Then, this story will turn to how to balance the mechanical properties, ionic conductivity, and electrochemical stability of dendritic PEs from synthetic chemistry. In addition, accomplishments on dendritic PEs based on different synthesis strategies and recent advances in battery applications are summarized and discussed. Subsequently, the ionic transport mechanism and interfacial interaction are deeply analyzed. In the end, the challenges and prospects are outlined to promote further development in this booming field.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are still being considered as a candidate to replace liquid electrolytes for high-safety and flexible lithium batteries due to their superiorities including light-weight, good flexibility, and shape versatility. However, inefficient ion transportation of linear polymer electrolytes is still the biggest challenge. To improve ion transport capacity, developing novel polymer electrolytes are supposed to be an effective strategy. Nonlinear topological structures such as hyperbranched, star-shaped, comb-like, and brush-like types have highly branched features. Compared with linear polymer electrolytes, topological polymer electrolytes possess more functional groups, lower crystallization, glass transition temperature, and better solubility. Especially, a large number of functional groups are beneficial to dissociation of lithium salt for improving the ion conductivity. Furthermore, topological polymers have strong design ability to meet the requirements of comprehensive performances of SPEs. In this review, the recent development in topological polymer electrolytes is summarized and their design thought is analyzed. Outlooks are also provided for the development of future SPEs. It is expected that this review can raise a strong interest in the structural design of advanced polymer electrolyte, which can give inspirations for future research on novel SPEs and promote the development of next-generation high-safety flexible energy storage devices.

Abstract
The past decades have witnessed rapid development of lithium-based batteries. Significant research efforts have been progressively diverted from electrodes to electrolytes, particularly polymer electrolytes (PEs), to tackle the safety concern and promote the energy storage capability of batteries. To further increase the ionic conductivity of PEs, various branched polymers (BPs) have been rationally designed and synthesized. Compared with linear polymers, branched architectures effectively increase polymer segmental mobility, restrain crystallization, and reduce chain entanglement, thereby rendering BPs with greatly enhanced lithium transport. In this Mini Review, a diversity of BPs for PEs is summarized by scrutinizing their unique topologies and properties. Subsequently, the design principles for enhancing the physical properties, mechanical properties, and electrochemical performance of BP-based PEs (BP-PEs) are provided in which the ionic conduction is particularly examined in light of the Li+ transport mechanism. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of BP-PEs in this rapidly evolving field are outlined.

Abstract
Polyurethanes based on the aminoethers of ortho-phosphoric acid and polyisocyanates of an aliphatic nature were studied as a substrate for the preparation of new polymer electrolyte. The conductivity of polyurethane ionomer samples obtained using the optimal amount of aliphatic polyisocyanates and after keeping them in a 1 M LiBF4 solution in γ-butyrolactone reaches 0.62 mS cm−1. It has been established that the transport of positively charged ions through the polymer matrix is due to the formation of clusters of phosphate ions and their association into the conducting channels. The introduction of carboxylate ions into the conducting channels by modifying the aminoethers of ortho-phosphoric acid with phthalic anhydride leads to an increase in their size and rise in the mobility of cations. As a result, the conductivity of polyurethane gel electrolytes increased to 2.1 mS cm−1. Polyurethanes based on the aminoethers of ortho-phosphoric acid and polyisocyanates of an aliphatic nature were studied as a substrate for the preparation of a new polymer electrolyte.![]()
