Lithium-, Sodium-, and Potassium-ion Conduction in Polymeric and Discrete Coordination Systems

Coordination compounds have been increasingly studied as a new class of promising candidates for the matrix of ionic conducting materials because of their designability and high crystallinity. The ionic conduction of light alkali metal ions (Lit and Na-t) has been developed in polymeric coordination systems, which are commonly used under nonaqueous conditions. Recent studies have shown that discrete coordination compounds, as well as hydrated polymeric coordination compounds, can function as excellent ionic conductors even for heavier Kt.

Automated summary

Coordination compounds are considered promising candidates for ionic conducting materials due to their designability and high crystallinity. They have been shown to conduct light alkali metal ions and even heavier metal ions, demonstrating their potential as excellent ionic conductors.
