Polymer paterning: Solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries — Preston Sutton, Ilja Gunkel, and •Ulli Steiner — Adolphe Merkle Institute, Fribourg, Switzerland

Patterning materials at the nanoscale can dramatically influence the performance of batteries. At the Adolphe Merkle Institute (AMI) we are applying expertise in structural control to improve electrodes and electrolytes alike. Two goals of our research are: 1- Take advantage of polymer self-assembly as a facile method to attain predictable morphologies in block copolymers (BCPs) quantifying ionic conductivity as a function of grain size and crystallinity. 2- Use BCPs to decouple mechanical properties from ionic conductivity in electrolytes.
