Ion-conducting polymer

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013211",
  "term": "Ion-conducting polymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer that exhibits electrical conductivity through the transport of ions, which act as the primary charge carriers. These materials, also known as solid polymer electrolytes, typically consist of a polymer host, such as polyethylene oxide, that solvates a salt, allowing the dissociated ions to move through the amorphous polymer matrix. Their ionic conductivity is highly dependent on temperature and is a key property for applications in solid-state batteries, fuel cells, and sensors.",
