Ionic conduction mechanism in high concentration lithium ion electrolytes
Xiaobing Chen, Daniel G. Kuroda
Abstract
The conduction mechanism of a family of high concentration lithium electrolytes (HCEs) is investigated. It is found in all HCEs that the molecular motions are regulated by the anion size and correlated to the HCE ionic resistivity. From the results, a mechanism involving highly correlated ionic networks is derived.
