A solvation‐desolvation mechanism (see figure) is responsible for ionic conductivity in polymers such as polyethylene oxide. The solvating sites are covalently linked through flexible bonds meaning that a net displacement of the ligand with the ions over macroscopic distances is forbidden, a situation intermediate between liquids and solids. Sensors, batteries, and displays are among the applications of these polymeric electrolytes. equation image
