Abstract

We show that the conductivity maximum, well known for salt-in-polymer electrolytes is not the maximum conductivity in the system when the salts used are chosen for their resistance to crystallization at high concentration. The polymer + salt system, with increasing salt content, goes through a transition zone characterized by a maximum in glass transition temperature. Beyond this point additional salt serves to plasticize the salt-crosslinked polymer system, establishing thereby a region of increasing conductivity in which the conductivity can reach very large values. We show that “polymer in-salt” solutions constitute a new type of rubbery solid electrolyte in which the conductivity is dominated by cation motion. Such systems are true hybrids of the previously distinct “superionic glass” and “polymer electrolyte” types of amorphous solid conductors.
