Abstract
Safety is an indispensable feature for a battery
particularly in large scale applications. In this respect, gel
electrolytes are more attractive due to less possibility of
electrolyte leakage and safer if abused. Unfortunately,
most present gel electrolyte systems are mainly based on
polyethers which supposed to be flammable. In addition,
PEO and PPO based systems exhibit a low cation
transference number. Therefore, the seeking of novel
thermally stable and safety polymer electrolytes with
improved electrochemical behaviour is crucial. In the
present contribution, we propose a series of Li-ion
conducting polymer electrolytes based on the
poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG) borate ester (PE-350B) and
PEG-methacrylates (PME-400 and PDE-600,
respectively) plasticized by M550B100 PEG-borate ester,
which can be characterized as a thermally stable solvent
with high flash point [1].
