Abstract

Abstract: Dry polymer electrolytes are a promising class of materials for future safer high‐energy‐density battery technologies. This review deals with the relevant physico‐chemical properties of the dry polymer electrolytes, ionic transport mechanism, molecular structure, and interfacial issues in a widely investigated model system (poly(ethylene oxide) with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide). At the end of the review, latest macromolecular approaches for high‐performance lithium battery applications are discussed. Abstract : Polymer electrolytes are promising alternative materials for safe high‐energy‐density solid‐state battery technologies. This review highlights important bulk and interfacial physicochemical properties (e.g., ion association, ionic conductivity, cationic transference number, solid electrolyte interphase, and dendrite growth) governing the development of dry polymer electrolytes. Model systems and contemporary chemistries are highlighted.
