  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010992",
  "term": "Solid polymer electrolyte",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A solvent-free polymer material containing dissolved salts that exhibits ionic conductivity. It consists of a polymer host, such as poly(ethylene oxide), and a salt, such as a lithium salt, which dissociates to provide mobile ions. The transport of ions occurs through the amorphous regions of the polymer matrix via segmental motion of the polymer chains.",
