High-performance electrolyte membranes for plastic lithium batteries

The synthesis, properties, and application of new types of lithium-ion conducting polymeric membranes are reported and discussed. These ionic membranes are dimensionally stable, have a very high ionic conductivity, an acceptable lithium-ion transference number and a wide electrochemical stability window. Due to these favourable properties, these membranes are suitable for the fabrication of advanced-design, high-performance batteries and power source devices.
