Rechargeable Lithium Polymer Electrolyte Batteries

Abstract

During the past ten years research on lithium batteries increasingly directed towards a rechargeable battery system as many primary lithium batteries are now commercially available. Most of the research on the secondary lithium batteries has been on systems with solid insertion cathodes and nonaqueous, liquid organic electrolytes with a wide variety of solvents and compounds having been evaluated. Recent studies on polymer electrolyte systems have resulted in solid state rechargeable lithium cells, operable at 25 C. Capacity decline with cycling and the high internal resistance at low temperatures limit the application of these systems. Continuous work in this area will improve the performance characteristics of these cell systems.
