A Novel Silicon/Phosphorus <i>Co</i>-Flame Retardant Polymer Electrolyte for High-Safety All-Solid-State Lithium Ion Batteries

Developing a solid polymer electrolyte with superior flame retardancy and lithium-ion transportation properties is still a challenge. Herein, an intrinsic silicon/phosphorus co-flame retardant polymer solid electrolyte was prepared by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) co-polymerized with silicon and p...
