Abstract
Ion dynamics in a series of imidazolium-based triblock copolymers (triblock co-PILs) are investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and compared to their homopolymer counterparts (homo-PILs). Two calorimetric glass transition temperatures (Tg) are observed corresponding to the charged poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) blocks and noncharged polystyrene (PS) blocks. Varying the counterion from Br- to NTf2 decreases the Tg of the charged block by over 50 °C, thereby increasing the room-temperature ionic dc conductivity by over 6 orders of magnitude. Interestingly, for a given anion, varying the volume fraction of the charged block, from ∼0.5 to ∼0.8, has very minimal effect on the dc ionic conductivity, indicating that the choice of counterion is the key factor influencing charge transport in these systems.
