" Innovative Polymer Electrolytes for Electrochemical Devices "

Polymer electrolytes can be used in a number of electrochemical devices in different areas such as energy, bioelectronics or optoelectornics. For each different application/device the polymer electrolyte should be tailored to address different targets such as ionic conductivity, electrochemical window, type of ions, adhesion and interface with the electrodes, printability, mechanical properties and so on. Furthermore, new properties such as biodegradability and biocompatibility are searched in new applications such as recyclable electronics or bioelectronics.

In this presentation we will review our recent works in the design of innovative polymer electrolytes. The presentation will include the development of new poly(ionic liquid)s1, iongels, hydrogels and polycarbonate polymer electrolytes.

Its application in devices will be discussed ranging from organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs)2, light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEC)s3 and cutaneous electrodes for electrophysiology
