Inorganic, polymer electrolytes built at same vessel to boost EV battery performance
Researchers develop a class of hybrid sulfide-polymer materials through an innovative one-pot, in situ synthetic paradigm
Researchers have developed inorganic and polymer battery electrolytes simultaneously, which can be used across chemistry.
Developed by researchers from the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, the hybrid electrolytes are a mix of solid-state inorganic electrolytes — which move the particles extremely efficiently — and polymer electrolytes.
Researchers revealed that a new technique from Amanchukwu Lab builds inorganic and polymer electrolytes in the same vessel at the same time. This “one-pot” in-situ method creates a controlled, homogenous blend, pairing the conductivity of the inorganic solids with the flexibility of the polymers.
