The quest for safe and high-performance polymer electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has led researchers to explore protic ionic liquids (PILs) as potential candidates to be entrapped in polymer matrices. In this context, we present an investigation into solid polymeric systems based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a host for PILs, featuring 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-undec-7-ene (DBU) cation paired with three different anions: bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI−), trifluoromethanesulfonate (TFO−), and (trifluoromethanesulfonyl-nonafluorobutylsulfonyl)imide (IM14−). Additionally, we explore the lithium-doped IM14-gel-like system to broaden our understanding of these intriguing materials. Through comprehensive thermal analysis, solid-state NMR, and diffusion NMR techniques, we delve into the interactions and structural features of these binary and ternary polymeric systems. Our investigation reveals unique dynamics and ion interactions within the PMMA matrix, shedding light on the potential of these materials for advanced energy storage technologies. Particularly, we highlight the distinctive features of DBUH-IM14 and its specific interaction with the polymeric matrix and the lithium ions, underscoring its significance in advancing safer and more efficient energy storage devices.

Abstract
The quest for safe and high-performance polymer electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has led researchers to explore protic ionic liquids (PILs) as potential candidates to be entrapped in polymer matrices. In this context, we present an investigation into solid polymeric systems based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a host for PILs, featuring 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-undec-7-ene (DBU) cation paired with three different anions: bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI−), trifluoromethanesulfonate (TFO−), and (trifluoromethanesulfonyl-nonafluorobutylsulfonyl)imide (IM14−). Additionally, we explore the lithium-doped IM14-gel-like system to broaden our understanding of these intriguing materials. Through comprehensive thermal analysis, solid-state NMR, and diffusion NMR techniques, we delve into the interactions and structural features of these binary and ternary polymeric systems. Our investigation reveals unique dynamics and ion interactions within the PMMA matrix, shedding light on the potential of these materials for advanced energy storage technologies. Particularly, we highlight the distinctive features of DBUH-IM14 and its specific interaction with the polymeric matrix and the lithium ions, underscoring its significance in advancing safer and more efficient energy storage devices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
