Enhancing Properties of Anionic Poly(ionic liquid)s with 1,2,3-Triazolium Counter Cations

A series of anionic poly(ionic liquid)s with 1,2,3-triazolium counter cations are prepared by cation exchange between tailormade 1,3,4-trialkylated-1,2,3-triazolium iodides and a polystyrene derivative having pendant potassium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide groups. The physical and ion-conducting properties of the resulting materials are compared to the parent potassium-containing polyelectrolyte based on
