This chapter discusses the assumption that lithium-ion-conductive polymer electrolytes exhibit a high lithium-ion transference number with the incorporation of fluorine atoms. The compatibility of battery-active materials with inorganic electrolytes is a major problem for the practical use of inorganic electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries. The compatibility at the electrode/electrolyte interface is greatly enhanced when polymer electrolytes are used, and therefore, many researchers have used polymer electrolytes to fabricate all-solid batteries. The chapter describes polymer electrolytes that exhibit a high lithium-ion transference number with the incorporation of fluorine atoms. Various anon receptors are first described. Lithium conductive electrolytes that use anon receptors are discussed. Lithium-ion-conductive aluminate and borate complex polymers are finally discussed in the chapter. The chapter concludes that polymer electrolytes with high lithium ion transference numbers are likely to be obtained with the incorporation of fluorine atoms. Although the ion conductivities of the resultant polymer electrolytes are not sufficiently high for practical use in lithium-ion batteries at room temperature, the values can be enhanced by the incorporation of plasticizers, ionic liquids, etc.
