Research and development of post lithium ion batteries is attracting considerable attention.
While there have been significant advances in understanding the challenges of Li-O2 (air) …

A systematic study of the dependence of ionic conductivity on the grain size of a lamellar
block copolymer electrolyte was performed. A freeze-dried mixture of poly (styrene)-block …

We investigate the effect of direct ionic current (dc) on the morphology of a block copolymer
electrolyte in a lithium symmetric cell. We present in situ X-ray scattering and X-ray …

Lithium-salt-doped block copolymers have the potential to serve as solid electrolytes in
rechargeable batteries with lithium metal anodes. In this work, we use small-angle X-ray …

We demonstrate that lithium metal is sparingly soluble in poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO). 7Li
NMR shows that when a PEO sample is placed in contact with lithium metal at elevated …

It is known that the addition of salts to symmetric block copolymers leads to stabilization of
ordered phases and an increase in domain spacing; both trends are consistent with an …

We present a strategy for enhancing Li+ conduction in block copolymer electrolytes by
introducing trace amounts of Li salts into polystyrene-b-poly (ethylene oxide)(PS-b-PEO) …

An important consideration when designing lithium battery electrolytes for advanced
applications is how the electrolyte facilitates ion transport at fast charge and discharge rates …

A Single-Chain-in-Mean-Field (SCMF) algorithm was introduced to study block copolymer
electrolytes in nonequilibrium conditions. This method self-consistently combines a particle …
