Chemical manipulaiton of polymer structure of composite polymer electrolytes

ORAL

Abstract

Composite polymer electrolytes comprising garnet nanoparticles and anion salts have been synthesized and their ionic conductivity investigated. We find that ion transport maximizes for low %wt. loads of the nanoparticles and that the ionic conductivity is controlled by the garnet particle Li-molar content. Microstructural studies of the composite electrolytes, reveal that the particle chemistry modifies the polymer macrostructure resulting in the formation of high ionic conductivity channels.
