Abstract

We describe rubbery materials of high ionic conductivity dominated by Li transport prepared by dissolution of polypropylene oxide in low melting molten salt mixtures with and without plasticizing additives. The dominance of Li+ transport is demonstrated by measurements of anion(1) diffusivity which show that anions probably contribute less than 1% of the conductivity. We also describe experiments using the wide electrochemical window (5V.) polyanionic material obtained by polymerizing lithium vinyl sulfonate. This polymer can also act as a glass formation promoter in salt mixtures and like other high molecular weight polymers, can bestow rubbery properties. We report studies of the solution and glass properties.
