Polymer electrolytes are a rapidly emerging option for energy storage and conversion, water treatment, sensors, and actuators. The current scientific thrust is to develop practically viable polymer electrolytes, especially in the solid state. Toward this goal, extensive efforts have been made to prepare polymers bearing ionic moieties with various chain architectures via appropriate linking chemistry, yet challenges remain in their low ionic conductivities and/or poor mechanical strengths. In this talk, I will begin with ongoing research on ion-containing polymers, peering into the confinement-entitled features. Recent successes in tuning the nanoscale morphologies of ion-tethered polymers are stressed as significant consequences of milestones in this research era. Several emerging themes in designing ion-containing polymers are outlined for, which include end-group chemistry, single-ion polymers, precise sequencing of ionic moieties, and crystalline ionic channels. |
