158 Polymer Electrolyte
Polymer electrolytes are ionically conducting polymers, mostly based on a solvent-free polymer-like polyethylene oxide (PEO) and a highly conductive salt such as lithium sat.
The concept of polymer electrolytes was started in 1973 when Fenton et al. reported that alkali metal salts can be dissolved in PEO to form conductive complexes. Since then, three kinds of polymer electrolytes have been developed. They are gel/plasticized polymer electrolyte (GPE), solid polymer electrolyte (SPE), and composite polymer electrolyte (CPE).
GPE, also known as plasticized PE, was first introduced by Feuillade and Perche in 1975. GPE is a plasticized or gelled polymer matrix, wherein the addition of plasticizer ...
