We will characterize and define the complex atomic-to-nanometer length scale polymer/electrolyte interfaces that control ion and electrical charge transport and storage processes from low to high doping regimes. Manipulation of the chemistry and morphology of these atomic-to-nano-interfaces is essential for new energy conversion and storage chemistries and platforms using these materials, which includes capacitors and batteries.
