Abstract

The influence of ion-sidechain interactions on ion-insertion energetics in organic mixed ionicelectronic conductors (OMIECs) is not well understood. The authors show that a Gutmann Donor/Acceptor number framework captures ion-sidechain interactions and provides a rational basis for designing OMIECs.
