is slightly positive for electrolytes with O:Li ratios of 15 or 12:1 but decreases to negative values for more concentrated solutions. This implies that negatively charged ionic aggregates such as triplets are more mobile than free cations in this concentration range. Such behavior is commonly seen in binary salt/polymer electrolytes, which typically exhibit a high degree of nonideality. The nonunity transference numbers and microphase separation in the Parel‐
