Cheap and easily processable polymer electrolytes for sodium-based batteries

The importance of clean and efficient energy production and storage has enormously grown over the past decade, primarily driven by concerns over global warming, dwindling fossil-fuel reserves and increasing demand for portable electronics, electric mobility and grid storage systems. Renewables ar...

Towards solid batteries operating at ambient temperature: (composite) polymer electrolytes based on cross-linked PEO matrix

Standard commercial batteries use liquid electrolytes as ion transport media; these are based on toxic and volatile organic carbonate solvents, and their flammability clearly raises safety concerns. The most striking solution at present is to switch on all solid-state designs exploiting poly...

Towards solid-state batteries operating at ambient temperature: (composite) polymer electrolytes in a cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide) matrix

Among the oxide ceramic super lithium ion conductors, garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) has recently attracted much attention because of its relatively high ionic conductivity at room temperature (>10-4 S cm–1), negligible electronic conductivity and absence of harmful decomposition products upon con...
