Polymerization of ionic liquids results in the formation of ionic polymers, which are called
poly (ionic liquid) s or polymerized ionic liquids (PIL). This is a brand new form of ionicity in …

Polyelectrolytes are a class of polymers possessing ionic groups on their repeating units.
Since counterions can dissociate from the polymer backbone, polyelectrolyte chains are …

We present a brief overview of current developments in the field of polymer electrolytes, with
the focus on single-ion conducting polymers. The latter have significant advantages relative …

The use of polymer electrolytes instead of liquid organic systems is considered key for
enhancing the safety of lithium batteries and may, in addition, enable the transition to high …

This contribution presents an overview of more than three-decades-long studies of the
