Organic ionic plastic crystals as solid-state electrolytes
journal contribution

Key to many emerging electrochemical technologies is the need for a safe and stable electrolyte that enables high device efficiency. Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPC)are an emerging class of solid-state electrolytes with significant advantages over conventional materials, including plasticity, nonflammability, and high ionic conductivity. Recent advances in this evolving field include increasingly efficient lithium-ion batteries and dye-sensitized solar cells, and the first application of OIPCs in sodium-ion batteries. In this review, we highlight these advances and discuss recent fundamental developments such as structure–property relationships and conduction mechanisms in both protic and aprotic OIPCs.
