Development of polymer electrolytes for solid state batteriesGuerrero Mejía, Luis Miguel (Avtor) Marinšek, Marjan (Mentor) Molecular dynamicspolymerized ionic liquidsmetal-ion batteriesion diffusionand coordination environmentTo understand the structure and dynamics in polymer electrolytes based on polymerized ionic liquids (PILs), molecular dynamics modeling is performed because these materials have shown great potential in the development of future solid-state alkali metal batteries, including Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium metals. These polymers have cationic polymer backbones and are used as solid solvents for salts. Unconventionally, the metal ion diffusion and polymer segmental motion will increase upon adding more salt, due to a co-coordination structure mechanism between polycations, anions, and metal ions. Interestingly, the formation of salt-rich domains was found in PILs with high salt concentrations, which can further improve metal ion diffusion.20222022-09-26 14:35:00Magistrsko delo/naloga141244VisID: 22607sl
