Ion Correlations in Polymer Electrolyte-Ionic Liquid Mixtures — •Diddo Diddens1 and Andreas Heuer1,21Helmholtz-Institut Münster (IEK-12), Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Corrensstraße 46, 48149 Münster — 2Institut für physikalische Chemie, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Corrensstraße 28/30, 48149 Münster

Polymer electrolytes consist of a salt dissolved in a polymer matrix such as poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). Even though they are safer than conventional liquid battery electrolytes due to their reduced flammability and mechanical stability, their conductivity is still too low for an efficient technological use. To overcome this issue, the use of small molecular shuttles has been proposed [1], in which the cation of an ionic liquid (IL) is functionalized by a small oligoether side chain that can detach the lithium ions from the slow PEO chains. Additionally, dynamically coupling the lithium ions to the IL cations in this way, it is expected that IL and lithium cations move cooperatively in an electric field, giving rise to enhanced transference numbers. In this contribution, we explicitly check this assumption by focusing on dynamical ion correlations within the electrolyte, and on their impact on the lithium transference number as well as the overall conductivity.
