Abstract
Polymer electrolytes are solid solutions of salts in the bulk polymers and are expected to be used as new solid electrolytes in many solid electrochemical devices. Especially, the application to high-energy-density and solid-state lithium secondary batteries has been a hot topic in the community of solid state ionics. In this review, the characteristics of ion conduction in polymers are summarized, with focusing on the dynamics of ion transport and dissociation processes. A future direction of the polymer electrolyte studies is discussed.
