To improve the conductivity of recently reported single-ionic lithium
orthoaluminate complex polymer electrolytes, the structure of the comp
lex unit was changed from [Al(OR)(4)](-) to [Al(SR)(4)](-), carrying a
larger anion radius. The ionic conductivity of such thioaluminate pol
ymer complexes was about 10(-5) S cm(-1) at room temperature, which wa
s about 10(2) times higher than that of previously reported aluminate
complexes. The single-ionic nature of thioaluminate polymer complexes
was confirmed by transport number.
