To overcome the low ionic conduction of existing poly(ethylene oxide)-based polymer electrolytes, we consider polycarbonates obtained from the copolymerization of CO 2 and epoxy monomers. We synthesized four types of polycarbonates possessing phenyl, n-butyl, t-butyl and methoxyethyl side groups usi
