Structure investigation using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) indicates a rupture of the DBC morphology upon increasing TiO2–NP content, without a significant decrease in the ionic conductivity at high TiO2–NP contents. A high number of unbound charge carriers in the hybrid DBC electrolyte, achieved by careful tuning of the materials’ ratios, is the most important contribution to a high ionic conductivity.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1021/acsaem.1c03393} (DOI).
