Abstract

A complex of polymer, plasticizer and lithium salts can be used as a solid gel polymer electrolyte in lightweight and rechargeable lithium batteries. Considerable research has been directed towards the development of a gel polymer with high conductivity at room temperature. In this work, a gel polymer electrolyte using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF)-1000 (KF), a plasticizer of 1:1 ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC), and LiBF4 salt is optimized. Gel electrolytes have high ionic conductivity, good mechanical stability, a wide electrochemical stable window, and a stable lithium interface. The results of preliminary charge–discharge of cells are discussed in detail.
