Methods for processing deposited metal nanowire inks with metal ions are used to form fused metal nanostructured networks. The metal nanowire inks include a hydrophilic polymer binder, such as a cellulose based binder. The metal nanowire inks can be deposited onto a substrate surface and dried to drive the fusing process. Transparent conductive films can be formed with desirable properties.

Perfluoropolyether electrolytes terminated with polar substituents such as cyclic carbonates show enhanced ionic conductivities when formulated with lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide, making them useful as electrolytes for lithium cells.

Fluorinated alkali ion electrolytes with cyclic carbonate groups

Perfluoropolyether electrolytes terminated with polar substituents such as dimethylurethanes show enhanced ionic conductivities when formulated with lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide, making them useful as electrolytes for lithium cells.

Fluorinated alkali ion electrolytes with urethane groups

Perfluoropolyether electrolytes have either one or two terminal nitrile groups and an alkali metal salt. The alkali metal salt can be a lithium salt, a sodium salt, a potassium salt, or a cesium salt. The salt can make up between 5 and 30 wt % of the electrolyte composition. Such electrolytes have shown high ionic conductivities, making them useful as lithium cell electrolytes.

Electrode assemblies for use in electrochemical cells are provided. The negative electrode assembly includes negative electrode active material and an electrolyte chosen specifically for its useful properties in the negative electrode. Such properties include reductive stability and ability to accommodate expansion and contraction of the negative electrode active material. Similarly, the positive electrode assembly includes positive electrode active material and an electrolyte chosen specifically for its useful properties in the positive electrode. These properties include oxidative stability and the ability to prevent dissolution of transition metals used in the positive electrode active material. A third electrolyte can be used as separator between the negative electrode and the positive electrode. A cell is constructed with a cathode that includes a fluorinated electrolyte which does not penetrate into the solid-state polymer electrolyte separator between it and the lithium-based anode. Such an assembly improves charge transport properties without compromising the strength and durability of the separator.
