CATION CONDUCTIVE SOLID POLYMERS

摘要

An amorphous ionically conductive macromolecular solid having improved ambient temperature ionic conductivity. It comprises a macromolecular solid which carries a negative charge and has a positively charged ionic species associated with it. The macromolecular material comprises a polymer or copolymer having a plurality of side chains having distal constituents having the formula: -X-Y- M+, where X = CF¿2?, CFCN, CFR, or CCNR or C6FaRb where a is 1-4, b is 0-3 and a + b is 4 and where R is virtually any organic or substituted organic group, for example, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, aralkyl, haloalkyl, CN, a polymer such as a polyether, a polyester, a polyamine, a polyimine, etc., Y = SO3, CO2 or POc where c is 2, 3 or 4, and M = a cation.
