Figure 4. Framework mobility of soft matter electrolytes. (A) Photo images of PEO samples subjected to tensile deformation; (B) In-plane and out-of-plane ionic conductivities of PEO electrolyte (soft matter electrolyte) with respect to tensile deformation (in the direction of the red arrow). (i) Out-of-plane ionic conductivity vs. tensile deformation of PEO/Li salt film; (ii) Out-of-plane enhancement in ionic conductivity vs. tensile strain; (iii) In-plane ionic conductivity vs. tensile deformation; (iv) In-plane enhancement in ionic conductivity vs. tensile strain; (C) Depiction of semi-crystalline polymer microstructure at various stages of tensile deformation.
