Abstract
Since the proposal by Armand [1] that high molecular weight polyethers containing dissolved ions could be used as solid polymeric electrolytes (SPEs), there has been considerable research dedicated to the pragmatic issues of improving the ionic conductivities of these systems and of developing polymer-based high energy density rechargeable batteries. Macro-molecular solvents, while solid in the bulk state, have almost liquid-like mobility on the microscopic scale. This unique quality makes these systems an extremely interesting branch of electrochemical materials which cannot be fully understood in terms of more classical models either of conventional low molecular weight liquid electrolytes or of the well-known crystalline ionic conductors (e.g. the β-alumina family). Exploring the more fundamental aspects of these systems is important in its own right, but should also serve to clarify the mechanism of ionic conductivity and lead to the selection of more suitable battery materials.
