Application of Polymer Electrolytes to Lithium Batteries
Abstract
Ever since the publication of Fenton and Wright's work on ionically conducting polymers in 1973, the potential application of solid polymer electrolytes to solid state lithium batteries has lead to an extensive investigation of their transport and electrochemical properties. Recent modeling studies on lithium/insertion cathode cells, including the design scale-up for both unipolar and bipolar configurations indicates the possibility of achieving high energy and power densities well in excess of the present advanced batteries. The recently reported work on polymer electrolyte batteries that operate from -20 C to +100 C demonstrates the utility of this new class of lithium batteries. Keywords Polymers electrolytes; Solid state battery; Lithium battery.
