Fig. 3: Transport of ionic species in different coupled solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs).
From: A reflection on polymer electrolytes for solid-state lithium metal batteries
a Graphical representation of the microscopic transport of lithium ions in fully amorphous phases, in which lithium-ion migration is tightly correlated with the segmental dynamic of polymer backbones. b Graphical representation of the microscopic transport of lithium ions in the mixture of amorphous and crystalline phases, where the surface functional groups of crystalline phases favor the transport of ionic species. c Graphical representation of the microscopic transport of lithium ions in crystalline phases, in which the cationic species migrate via the ion-hopping mechanism.
