Schematics of the single-ion conducting block copolymer electrolyte at low and high temperatures. At low temperatures,the PEO(left) and PSLiTFSI(right) blocks are microphase separated,and the ions are clustered(gray circles). At high temperatures,the PEO and PSLiTFSI blocks are mixed; the clusters(circles) are nearly dissolved; and the lithium ions are mobile[53]
