High ionic conductivity of new polymer electrolytes consisting of polypyridinium, pyridinium and aluminium chloride

Polymer complexes consisting of polypyridinium, pyridinium and aluminium chloride are found to be a new class of highly conductive polymer electrolytes, which exhibit a high ionic conductivity of 10–3 S cm–1 at room temperature within range of the conductivity of electrolyte solutions, in spite of film-forming properties.
