Reducing crystallinity in solid polymer electrolytes for lithium-metal batteries via statistical copolymerization

Polyethylene oxide is a common solid polymer electrolyte for solid-state lithium metal batteries. Here, statistical copolymerization is shown to be an effective approach to reduce its crystallinity, enabling a high ionic conductivity during room temperature battery operation.
