Stimuli-responsive polymers adapt to their surrounding environment. These polymers are
capable of responding to a variety of external stimuli, which include optical, electrical …

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 …

Polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) are an emerging class of materials that combine the attractive
properties of ionic liquids with the sequence complexity and mechanical characteristics of …

Block polymers have undergone extraordinary evolution since their inception more than 60
years ago, maturing from simple surfactants to an expansive class of macromolecules …

Ion transport is essential to energy storage, cellular signalling and desalination. Polymers
have been explored for decades as solid-state electrolytes by either adding salt to polar …

High-performance solid-state electrolytes with healability to repair mechanical damages are
important for the fabrication of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with enhanced safety and prolonged …

The usual understanding in polymer electrolyte design is that an increase in the polymer
dielectric constant results in reduced ion aggregation and therefore increased ionic …

The quest for reliable and high-performance batteries has incentivized the development of
new battery chemistries/materials that can potentially improve the current lithium-ion battery …

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 …

Transport of ions through solid polymeric electrolytes (SPEs) involves a complicated
interplay of ion solvation, ion–ion interactions, ion-polymer interactions, and free volume …
