​Achieving superionic conductivity from solid-state polymer electrolytes is an important task in the development of future energy storage and conversion technologies. Herein, a platform for innovative electrolyte technologies based on a bifunctional polymer, poly(3-hydroxy-4-sulfonated styrene) (PS-3H4S), is presen...

Lower disorder-to-order transition (LDOT) phase behavior is seldom observed in block copolymers (BCPs). Design of LDOT BCPs is important for broadening the applications and improving the high temperature properties of BCPs. In this work, the LDOT phase behavior was first achieved in the strongly interacting BCPs con...

Recently, interest in lithium–sulfur batteries has surged due to rapid advances in energy-intensive electric devices. However, despite the high theoretical capacity, natural abundance, and environmental benefits of sulfur, the development of practically viable lithium–sulfur batteries is limited by a short cycle l...
