Zwitterionic materials with disorder and plasticity and their application as non-volatile solid or liquid electrolytes

Design of Polymeric Zwitterionic Solid Electrolytes with Superionic Lithium Transport

“…These disordered systems do not display the superionic mechanism that distinguishes the PZILs reported herein. Recent studies have pointed toward the promising properties of zwitterions in electrochemical applications both as an ion transport matrix 37 and as a means to increase the dielectric constant of an electrolyte. 38 The choice of salt identity and concentration is critical to maximizing salt dissolution while preventing aggregation and precipitation.…”

MOF-supported crystalline ionic liquid: new type of solid electrolyte for enhanced and high ionic conductivity

“…1 and 4). Therefore, the anions such as O(SO 3 − ) and N(TFSI − ) sitting in an ordered manner combine the vacant sites 43,44 along the channel and pave infinite pathways for efficient ion transmission in EN-1@UiO-67-MIMS . Sodium ions can thus move through the anionic sites of O(SO 3 − ) and N(TFSI − ) to achieve the fast ion conduction of EN-1@UiO-67-MIMS , which is unlikely in the bulk ILs (EN-1, EN-2.3) as well as in EN-2.3@UiO-67 with random structures.…”

Multifunctional polyzwitterion ionic liquid coating for long-lifespan and dendrite-free Zn metal anodes

“…The steady results are attributed to zwitterionic groups that reduce the rate of reaction kinetics at the electrode surface and stabilize Zn 2+ in the deposition process. 36,43,45 Besides, the overpotential of Zn 2+ on Zn@P(SBMAco-BuA) coating is higher than that on bare Zn at current densities of 0.5 mA cm À2 and 1 mA cm À2 , which veries again that the P(SBMA-co-BuA) coating limits the surface kinetics of Zn 2+ and the deposition sites of Zn 2+ on the Zn foil. 15 This result is consistent with the NOPs of Zn 2+ deposited on Cu@P(SBMAco-BuA) foil (Fig.…”
