Abstract
Plastic crystals of quaternary pyrrolidinium salts are promising materials for solid electrolytes in lithium batteries. Their conductivity, caused by crystal defects and high local ion mobility, can be increased drastically b y doping with lithium ions. The Figure illustrates the revolving door mecha nism proposed for the transport of Li+ through a matrix of rotating SO42- i ons.
