Abstract
Three new types of polymer electrolyte lithium-ion batteries are presented and discussed. These batteries have been prepared by using gel-type, poly(acrylonitrile), PAN-based membranes as the electrolyte separators of various electrode ombinations. The latter include ‘standard’ materials such as a graphite Li x C 6 anode and a manganese spinel LiMn 2O 4 cathode, as well as more innovative electrodes such as KC 8 and SnO 2 anodes, and LiCr y Mn 2− y O 4 and LiNi y Co 1− y O 2 cathodes. The results, although preliminary, are convincing in demonstrating the feasibility of these new concepts and ultimately, that PAN-based, gel-type membranes are suitable for the development of plastic-like, lithium-ion batteries of practical interest.
