Poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) based networked solid polymer electrolyte.

: Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have good safety for lithium battery compared to liquid electrolytes, but they have low ionic conductivity. To solve the problem, the polymer-in-salt system was introduced which has higher ionic conductivity than salt-in-polymer system. However, polymer-in-salt system has disadvantages that are poor mechanical properties with increasing salt concentration. In this study, networked polymer electrolytes consisting of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (P(HEMA)), lithium triflate (LiCF3SO3, LiTf) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) were prepared. And the electrochemical and mechanical properties of P(HEMA) based SPEs were investigated by using ac impedance analyzer and universal testing machine, respectively.
