Ion conductive polymer electrolyte membranes and simulation of their fractal growth patterns

Ion conductive polymer electrolyte membranes and simulation of their fractal growth patterns

Due to their high ionic conductivity, solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) systems have attracted wide spread attention as the most appropriate choice to fabricate all-solid-state electrochemical devices, namely batteries, sensors and fuel cells. In this work, ion conductive polymer electrolyte membranes...
