Supplementary Figure S9 | Nyquist plot for the as-prepared BPOE. We observed three circles:
resistance for the BPOE indicating Process 1, at the grain boundary of the BPOE indicating Process
2, and of BPOE/electrode interface indicating Process 3, from highest frequency respectively. The
inset equivalent circuit was used for the fitting of the first semi-circle. A frequency range from 10
mHz to 10 kHz with an amplitude of 500 mV was applied for the impedance spectroscopy
measurement. Each point at a frequency was taken ten times and showed their average value. We
used the steel electrodes to hold the pellet of the BPOE and to measure the impedance spectroscopy
technique at 25 ˚C.

Supplementary Discussion | Conductivity of the as-prepared BPOE.
By using impedance spectroscopy, one can measure the resistance of materials. In case of an
aggregate of particles, one can investigate the resistances of the particles, at the grain boundary, and
at a particles/electrode interface, respectively61. We are interested in the resistance of the material,
therefore, we focus on the resistance of the particles. The response for the resistance of the material
comes at the highest frequency region.
We used steel electrodes and held a pellet of the as-prepared BPOE by using them to
measure the impedance spectroscopy response. Supplementary Figure S9 shows the Nyquist plot of
the BPOE. We observed three semi-circles and the circle at the highest frequency region indicates the
response related to the resistance of the BPOE. We confirmed that the resistance of the BPOE is
105,232 Ω by fitting.
Conductivity σ (S cm−1) is given by the following equation where l is the thickness of the
pellet (= 0.43 cm), S is the area of the pellet (= 1 cm2), and Ω is the resistance of the BPOE
σ = l/S × 1/Ω
Therefore, the conductivity of the BPOE is 4.09×10−6 S cm−1 at 25 ˚C.
