Abstract :
Recent advances in the liquid electrolyte area for high-energy lithium cathode systems are reviewed. Experimental work on the processing of solid thin-film polymer electrolytes using plasticizers such as polyethylene glycol dimethoxy ether (PEGDME) and conductivity and differential scanning calorimetry results for polymer film electrolytes are presented. The advantages and the disadvantages of polymer thin-film electrolytes are discussed. It is apparent from these studies that films processed with a plasticizer such as PEGDME show improved conductivity, possibly due to increased amorphous phase content
