Creating Lithium?Ion Electrolytes with Biomimetic Ionic Channels in Metal–Organic Frameworks

Solid?state electrolytes are the key to the development of lithium?based batteries with dramatically improved energy density and safety. Inspired by ionic channels in biological systems, a novel class of pseudo solid?state electrolytes with biomimetic ionic channels is reported herein. This is achieved by complexing the anions of an electrolyte to the open metal sites of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which transforms the MOF scaffolds into ionic?channel analogs with lithium?ion conduction and low activation energy. This work suggests the emergence of a new class of pseudo solid?state lithium?ion conducting electrolytes.
