Polymer properties can be altered via lithium ion doping, whereby adsorbed Li+ binds with H2O within the polymer chain. However, direct spectroscopic evidence of the tightness of Li+/H2O binding in the solid state is limited, and the impact of Li+ on polymer sidechain packing is rarely reported. Her...
