Abstract

We present highly mechanical strength and ionic conductive solid-state electrolyte membranes based on amphiphilic double comb copolymer, i.e., poly(vinylidene chloride)-graft-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PVDC-g-PMMA) synthesized through atomic transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Well-defined nanophase-separated amphiphilic double comb copolymers are complexed with two types of Li salts (LiTFSI and LiClO4) to form a solid-state electrolyte membrane. Compared to other types, the highest ionic conductivity of the solid-state electrolyte membranes is observed in an amphiphilic double comb copolymer with PVDC-g-PMMA/LiTFSI, due to the synergy of the dissociability of TFSI and the hopping transport of lithium ions facilitated by PMMA chains. Moreover, the lowest activation energy (0.15 eV) and excellent ionic conductivity (1.3 × 10−3 S cm−1) are also observed in the same solid-state electrolyte membranes at room temperature.
