Gel-Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly(Ionic Liquid)/Ionic Liquid Networks (2020)
Journal Article
Sen, S., Goodwin, S. E., Barbará, P. V., Rance, G. A., Wales, D., Cameron, J. M., …Walsh, D. A. (2021). Gel-Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly(Ionic Liquid)/Ionic Liquid Networks. ACS Applied Polymer Materials, 3(1), 200-208. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsapm.0c01042

The use of electrically charged, polymerized ionic liquids (polyILs) offers opportunities for the development of gel-polymer electrolytes (GPEs), but the rational design of such systems is in its infancy. In this work, we compare the properties of po... Read More about Gel-Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly(Ionic Liquid)/Ionic Liquid Networks.
