Abstract

Block copolymer electrolytes (BCEs) offer the prospect of membranes with high ionic conductivity at lower ion-exchange capacities leading to membranes with robust mechanical properties. However, the microphase separated structure of such BCE membranes and its impact on membrane conductivity is poorly understood. Most studies assume that aggregated ionic domains in microphase separated BCEs, or random copolymers, is sufficient to foster facile ion conductivity. However, microphase separation alone cannot spur rapid ion conduction. In this paper, we demonstrate that ion domain connectivity greatly influences ion conductivity in BCEs. The results emphasize the importance of maximizing ion domain connectivity while minimizing terminal defects to realize BCEs with optimal ion transport properties.
