The electrochemical performance of polymer‐based batteries can be improved by the addition of inorganic fillers to the polymer electrolyte, giving composite polymer electrolytes. The use of polymer nanocomposites, where the dimensions of the filler particles are reduced, should lead to the improvement of the performance of the electrolytes. Here, the direct intercalation of poly(ethylene oxide) into Na⊕ and Li⊕‐exchanged layered silicates and the properties of the resulting nanocomposites is reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
