Cell failure of polymer electrolytes is rather the result of short circuits instead of assumed electrolyte oxidation. A spacer with a constant and defined distance can avoid this failure, thus realize a benchmark system for a more systematic R&D.
Wheat flour modified solid polymer electrolytes were synthesized and used in high safety and long cycling lithium batteries.
A solid polymer electrolyte fabricated using ion containing microgels manifests high ionic conductivity for potential use in lithium batteries.
