摘要

Abstract

The ionic conductivity and the mechanical strength are two key factors for the performance of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) based polyelectrolytes. However

crystallized PEO suppresses ion conductivity at low temperature and melted PEO has low mechanical strength at high temperature. Here

random binary brush copolymer composed of PEO- and polystyrene (PS)-based side chains is synthesized. PEO crystallinity is suppressed by the introduction of PS brushes. Doping with lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiTf) induces microphase separation. Due to a random arrangement of the brushes

the microphase segregation is incomplete even at high salt loading

which provides both high ionic conductivity and high mechanical strength at room temperature. These results provide opportunities for the design of polymeric electrolytes to be used at room temperature.
