The central problem in the development of single phase polymer electrolytes with exclusive cation conduction has been inadequate ion mobility due to extensive ion pairing between the mobile cation and the covalently attached anion. We have developed a new class of single ion conducting polymers, or polyelectrolytes, based on highly flexible polysiloxane backbones and attached sterically hindered phenolate anions. The combination of a highly delocalized and sterically enclosed anionic charged separation and consequently enhanced cation mobility. 10 refs., 2 figs.
