Crosslinked Gel Polymer Electrolyte from Trimethylolpropane Triglycidyl Ether by In Situ Polymerization for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Electrolytes play a critical role in battery performance. They are associated with an increased risk of safety issues. The main challenge faced by many researchers is how to balance the physical and electrical properties of electrolytes. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) have received increasing attention due to their satisfactory properties of ionic conductivity, mechanical stability, and safety. Herein, we develop a gel network polymer electrolyte (GNPE) to address the challenge mentioned earlier. This GNPE was formed by tri-epoxide monomer and bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide lithium salt (LiFSI) via an in situ cationic polymerization under mild thermal conditions. The obtained GNPE exhibited a relatively high ionic conductivity (σ) of 2.63 × 10^-4 S cm^-1, lithium transferenc
