Gel polymer electrolytes prepared by in situ polymerization of vinyl monomers in room-temperature ionic liquids

Rapid, microwave-assisted thermal polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate-supported ionogels

“…In cases where drying or vacuum treatment steps are employed to remove volatile co-solvents or other gelation reaction byproducts, total gel formation times can be several days. Common ionogel fabrication methods include: use of a co-solvent to blend in a polymer support, 3,5,[20][21][22] initiation of a spontaneous sol-gel reaction to produce an inorganic support, [23][24][25][26] stirring in an assembly of fumed silica particles, [27][28][29] and either UV-initiated [30][31][32][33] or thermally-initiated [34][35][36][37][38][39][40] polymerization/crosslinking of a reactive monomer inside the ionic liquid. Additionally, chemical vapor deposition and alternative polymerization strategies that require on the order of minutes have been reported.…”

Characterization of High Molecular Weight Poly(vinyl chloride) - Lithium Tetraborate Electrolyte Plasticized by Propylene Carbonate

“…Room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) possesses many attractive properties, such as wider electrochemical potential window (up to 6V), wider decomposition temperature range, non-toxicity and non-volatility as well as nonflammability with low melting point. Other features are better safety performance, relatively high ionic conductivity due to high ion content, and excellent thermal, chemical and electrochemical stabilities (Jiang et al, 2006;Cheng et al, 2007).…”

Ionic Liquids Gelation with Polymeric Materials: The Ion Jelly Approach

“…These polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) have been developed for battery electrolyte and for other solid electrolyte applications. (Jiang et al, 2006;Ohno et al, 2004;Washiro et al, 2004;Winther-Jensen et al, 2009) PIL have been investigated to be used on polymeric lithium batteries. In these batteries besides a good conductivity it is necessary that specific molecules like the lithium ion could be easily transport through the electrolyte.…”
