Abstract: The present technology relates to an ionic plastic crystal comprising at least one delocalized anion paired with at least one an organic guanidine, amidine or phosphazene organic superbase-derived cation for use in electrochemical applications, particularly in electrochemical accumulators such as batteries, electrochromic devices, and supercapacitors. The present technology also relates to an ionic plastic crystal composition, an ionic plastic crystal-based solid electrolyte composition, an ionic plastic crystal-based solid electrolyte, an electrode material comprising the ionic plastic crystal or the ionic plastic crystal composition. Their uses in electrochemical cells and electrochemical accumulators as well as their processes of manufacturing and an NHO-stabilized intermediary ion-neutral complex are also described.

Abstract: A polymer of formula (I), wherein the nitrogen atoms are coordinated with a lithium atom in 0% to 100% of repeat units in the polymer, and each R1 in each individual repeat unit independently represents a bivalent group, wherein the bivalent groups are, independently from one another, alkylene, arylene, or —CH2—CH2—(O—CH2—CH2)m—, wherein m is an integer of 1 or more, and wherein the alkylene, the arylene, and the —CH2—CH2—(O—CH2—CH2)m— are optionally substituted with one or more halogen atoms. The polymers of the invention can be used as battery electrolytes.

Abstract: The present technology relates to inorganic compounds having an argyrodite-type structure based on an alkali metal obtained by a preparation process comprising a step of grinding the sulfide of the alkali metal, the sulfate of the alkali metal, phosphorus pentasulfide and a halide of the alkali metal. Also described are electrode materials, electrodes, electrolytes comprising said inorganic compound having an argyrodite-type structure and their uses in electrochemical cells, for example, in electrochemical accumulators, particularly in all-solid-state batteries.
