abstract = {Poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers (PEOz BCP) have been
demonstrated to exhibit remarkably high lithium ion (Li+)
conductivity for Li+ batteries applications. For linear
poly(isoprene)-b-poly(styrene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide)
triblock copolymers (PIxPSyPEOz), a pronounced maximum ion
conductivity was reported for short PEOz molecular weights
around 2 kg mol−1. To later enable a systematic
exploration of the influence of the PIx and PSy block
lengths and related morphologies on the ion conductivity, a
synthetic method is needed where the short PEOz block length
can be kept constant, while the PIx and PSy block lengths
could be systematically and independently varied. Here, we
introduce a glycidyl ether route that allows covalent
attachment of pre-synthesized glycidyl-end functionalized
PEOz chains to terminate PIxPSy BCPs. The attachment
proceeds to full conversion in a simplified and reproducible
one-pot polymerization such that PIxPSyPEOz with narrow
chain length distribution and a fixed PEOz block length of z
= 1.9 kg mol−1 and a Đ = 1.03 are obtained. The
successful quantitative end group modification of the PEOz
block was verified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We demonstrate
further that with a controlled casting process, ordered
microphases with macroscopic long-range directional order
can be fabricated, as demonstrated by small-angle X-ray
scattering (SAXS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and
transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It has already been
shown in a patent, published by us, that BCPs from the
synthesis method presented here exhibit comparable or even
higher ionic conductivities than those previously published.
Therefore, this PEOz BCP system is ideally suitable to
relate BCP morphology, order and orientation to macroscopic
Li+ conductivity in Li+ batteries.},
