A new family of polymeric ionic liquids could find use as materials for electrochemical devices.
The team led by A. S. Shaplov synthesised three ionic monomers with highly delocalized anions and mobile aprotic cations. These monomers were designed to mimic the structure of three highly conductive anions. A radical polymerization procedure was then used to form the polymeric ionic liquids. Interested to know more?
