All poly(ionic) liquid-based block copolymers incorporating fluorinated and triethyleneglycol units: direct synthesis in water and investigation as single-ion conductive solids
[en] Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) have attracted a considerable attention as innovative single-ion solid polyelectrolytes (SPEs) in substitution to the more conventional electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical devices. Imidazolium-based PILs are amongst the most investigated, because they are easy to synthesize and some of them have shown a good combination between high ionic conductivity, wide chemical and electrochemical stability, and good mechanical properties. Herein, we report the precise synthesis, characterization, and use as single-ion SPE of a novel double PIL-based amphiphilic diblock copolymer (BCP), i.e. where all monomer units are of N-vinyl-imidazolium-type, with triethylene glycol pendant groups in the first block, and a statistical distribution of N-vinyl-3-ethyl- and N-vinyl-3-perfluorooctyl-imidazolium bromides in the second block. BCP synthesis is achieved directly in water by a one-pot process, following the principle of the cobalt-mediated radical polymerization-induced self-assembly (CMR-PISA). A subsequent anion exchange reaction substituting bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Tf2N-) for bromide (Br-) counter-anions leads to the targeted PIL BCPs with two different lengths of the first block. They demonstrate ionic conductivity σDC = 1-3 10-7 S cm-1, as determined by broadband dielectric spectroscopy at 30 °C (under anhydrous conditions), and form free standing films with mechanical properties suited for SPE applications with Young’s modulus of 3.8 MPa and elongation at break of 250 % as determined by stress/strain experiments.
