Comparative study of solid polymer electrolytes based on fractionated poly(1,3-dioxolane)

The electrolyte based on cyclic PDOL exhibits more than five times higher ionic conductivity at room temperature (0.98 × 10 ⁻⁵  S cm ⁻¹ ) than its linear analogue (0.17 × 10 ⁻⁵  S cm ⁻¹ ), reaching 4.8 × 10 ⁻⁴  S cm ⁻¹  at 80 °C.
