A novel acrylol borate was designed and synthesized by reacting acrylate monomer and boric acid. The obtained acrylol borate was used as both gelator and anion receptor for the liquid electrolyte in a lithium secondary battery. It was found that the ionic conductivity of the gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) was as high as that of the liquid electrolyte, and the thermal stability of GPE was increased when only 2 wt% acrylol borate was incorporated into the liquid electrolyte. These results suggest that acrylol borate can be used as an effective additive to enhance the thermal stability of the electrolyte without adversely affecting its conductivity. It is believed that the strong complex formation between boron in the gelator and the anion of the salt is responsible for the enhanced thermal stability of the electrolyte solution and the increased ionic conductivity.

A cross-linked solid polymer electrolyte was prepared by copolymerizing photochemically acrylonitrile (AN), oligo(ethylene glycol ethyl ether) methacrylate, oligo(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate in the presence of lithium perchlorate as a lithium salt, ethylene carbonate-propylene carbonate as a mixed plasticizer, and poly(ethylene oxide) as a polymer matrix. The maximum ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte was 2.35$\times$10$\^$-3/ S/cm. The interface resistance of the polymer electrolyte was very low compared to that of the polymer electrolyte without AN. The former electrolyte was stable up to 4.3 V and the Ah efficiency was nearly 100% during the charge-discharge cycle.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li polymer battery. The temperature dependence of conductivity, impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical properties of PAN/PVDF electrolytes as a function of a mixed ratio were reported for PAN/PVDF based polymer electrolyte films, which were prepared by thermal gellification method of preweighed PAN/PVDF, plasticizer and Li salt. The conductivity of PAN/PVDF electrolytes was $10^{-3}$S/cm. $PAN_{10}$$PVDF_{10}$$LiClO_4$$PC_{5}$$EC_{5}$ electrolyte has the better conductivity compared to others. The interfacial resistance behavior between the lithium electrode and PAN/PVDF based polymer electrolyte has also been investigated and compare with that between the lithium electrode and the PAN/PVDF based polymer electrolyte.

We introduced a new UV-cured resin polymer gel as an electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) that is cured with UV irradiation to form a thin film of UV-cured resin polymer gel in the cells. The gel film was characterized and its potential for use as an electrolyte in DSSCs was investigated. This new UV-cured resin polymer gel was successfully applied as a gel polymer electrolyte in DSSCs overcoming the problems associated with the liquid electrolytes in typical DSSCs. The effect of ${\gamma}$-butylrolactone (GBL) on the long-term stability and photovoltaic performance in DSSCs using this UV-cured resin polymer gel electrolyte was also investigated. The results of the energy conversion efficiency, ionic conductivity and Raman spectra of the UV-cured resin polymer gel electrolyte with the addition of 6 wt % GBL to the UV-cured resin polymer electrolyte showed good long-term stability and photovoltaic performance for the DSSCs with the UV-cured polymer gel electrolyte.

In this paper Gel polymer electrolyte using Poly(Vdf-HFP) was fabricated and compared with liquid type electrolyte. The chemical structure and ingredients of fabricated gel electrolyte was investigated and identified to gel polymer electrolyte by FTIR, gel electrolyte was verified to polymer state by SEM From the experiment result, the better component ratio of Propylene carbonate and Diethyl carbonate for gel type electrolyte was 5 : 5. The conversion efficiency of fabricated DSCs using gel electrolyte was $3{\sim}4[%]$, expected to alternate with liquid type electrolyte.

A lithium ion battery with polymer electrolyte is expected as a safe and long cycle life battery. This paper reports primarily the recent development results of a solid polymer electrolyte, which is a key factor of the secondary battery system, that has been obtained during the process of the development of a polymer type lithium battery. As a successful result of the solid polymer electrolyte. The ionic conductivity of the solid polymer electrolyte, which is composed of polyacrylonitrile and $LiClO_4\;with\; Al_2O_3$ dissolved as the supporting electrolyte, has been confirmed to be $2.3\times10^{-4} S/cm$ at room temperature.

The optimum polymer gel electrolyte composition ratio was 23 : 66 : 11 wt% of P(VdF-co-HFP) : PVP =20 : 3), (PC: EC =44 : 22) and TEABF$_4$. And the optimal thickness of polymer gel electrolyte was 50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The electrochemical characteristics result of unit cell were 31.41 Fig of specific capacitance, and 3.21$\times$10$^{-3}$ S/cm of ion conductivity. Ion conductivity of polymer gel electrolytes decreased according to added PVP through impedance analysis, and it was higher in 7 wt%, but electrochemical characteristics of unit cell were better in 3 wt% PVP. And for excellent ion conductivity of polymer gel electrolytes, the use of a thin layer electrolyte(20 $\mu\textrm{m}$) was an effective method, but with unit cell application, the best thickness was 50 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Unit cell showed higher capacitance and more stable electrochemical performance when hot pressed between polymer gel electrolyte and electrode. This results from enhancement of the physical contact between the electrode and the polymer gel electrolyte and good accessibility of the liquid electrolyte to the electrode surface.
