Monomers for Gel Polymer Electrolytes on Methacrylate-Based and Their Electrochemical Properties

Gel polymer electrolytes are perspective electrolytes for new types of Li-ion batteries today. The properties respectively advantages of these gels can be used also in other fields of electrochemistry. The gel polymer electrolyte is composed of a conductive component (liquid electrolyte) and the polymer component (methacrylate-based polymer). In this paper, I present fundamental characteristics of gel polymer electrolytes with selected monomers (methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, etc.).
