Samenvatting:
Polymer electrolytes are promising materials for the ever-growing needfor high energy density power sources for power and traction applications.
With an emphasis on secondary lithium batteries, the field of polymer
electrolytes has developed along three stages: dry solid systems, polymer
gels, and polymer composites. The polymer gels and the polymer composites,
the former incorporating organic solvents, show room temperature
conductivities of 10"-3 S#centre dot#cm"-"1. The dry solid systems presently
suffer from poor ionic conductivities (10"-"5 S#centre dot#cm"-"1 at 20C),
but are safer than the former due to absence of any organic solvent which can
cause environmental hazards. In the area of electrode systems, organo-sulfur
polymers perform well as cathode materials and poly (p-phenylene) as anode
material. Specific energies of 180 W#centre dot#h#centre dot#kg"-"1 have been
demonstrated in cells containing these polymers. Examples of various test
cells based on the above types of polymer electrolytes incorporating lithium
metal, intercalation type electrodes, and polymer electrodes are reviewed.
