✦ Synopsis

We study the effect of molecular shape on Li + conduction in dilute and concentrated polymer electrolytes (LiI:P(EO) n (3 6 n 6 100)). We model the transport-diffusion of interacting Li + ions in the helical PEO molecule as Brownian motion in a field of electrical force. Our model demonstrates that ionic conductivity of the amorphous PE structure is increased by mechanical stretching due to the unraveling of loops in the polymer molecule and to increased order. The enhancement of the ionic conductivity in the stretch direction, observed in our Brownian simulations, is in agreement with experimental results. We find an up to 40-fold increase in the LiI P(EO) 7 conductivity, which is also in agreement with experimental results. The good agreement with experiment lends much credibility to our physical model of conductivity.

Polyethylene oxide (PEO) containing a lithium salt (e.g., LiI) serves as a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) in thin-film batteries and its ionic conductivity is a key parameter of their performance. We model and simulate Li + ion conduction in a single PEO molecule. Our simplified stochastic model of

## Abstract __The addition of plasticizers into Li^+^‐conductive solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) is a commonly known technique to enhance the ionic conductivity. Among the used plasticizers, alkoxides of group‐13 elements [such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)–borate ester] are promising candidates

The combination of LiC104 and network polymers from poly[dimethylsiloxane-g-poly(ethylene oxide)] has been applied to polymer electrolytes as an Li+ ion conductor, and the structure/conductivity relationship has been investigated. The ionic conductivity is about 10e6 S cm-' at room temperature. The
