Abstract

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li secondary battery. This paper describes the effects of lithium salts, plasticizer addition and temperature dependence of conductivity of PEO electrolytes. Polyethylene oxide(PEO) based polymer electrolyte films were prepared by solution casting an acetonitrile solution of preweighed PEO and Li salt. After solvent evaporation, the electrolyte films were vacuum-dried at $60^{\circ}C$ for 48h, the thickness of the films were $90{\sim}110{\mu}m$. The conductivity properties of prepared PEO electrolytes are summarized as follows. PEO electrolyte complexed with $LiClO_4$ shows the better conductivity of the others. $PEO-LiClO_4$ electrolyte when $EO/Li^+$ ratio is 8, showed the best conductivity. Optimum operating temperature of PEO electrolyte is $60^{\circ}C$. By adding propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate to $PEO-LiClO_4$ electrolyte, its conductivity was higher than $PEO-LiClO_4$ without those. Also $PEO_8LiClO_4$ electrolyte remains static up to 4.5V vs. $Li/Li^+$.
