Monte Carlo simulation on lithium ion transport properties and conductivity in composite polymer electrolytes

Ion conduction in solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) is a thermally activated hopping process in which ions with sufficient energy surmount energy barriers consisting of polymer’s activation energy, hop to vacant sites along a polymer chain and to neighbouring chains throughout the polymer electrolyt...
