Abstract

Despite potential significant advantages of polymer based batteries, the poor ionic conductivity of dry polymer electrolytes at ambient and low temperatures has limited their application. This review describes the approach for improving conductivity by decoupling ionic transport from polymer segmental relaxation. It is emphasized that the decoupling approach is the key for design of superionic polymer electrolytes.
