Abstract:As lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) continue to grow in use for energy storage applications, concerns over their safety have influenced research for alternative materials, particularly solid-state electrolytes to replace the highly flammable and electrochemically unstable liquid organic electrolytes used in commercial LIBs. Aqueous-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) offer a safer approach by using water as an abundant, cheap, and non-toxic solvent in an inherently nonflammable polymer matrix. This class of el… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
