Hybrid polyether/polysiloxane polymer electrolytes were prepared by sol-gel process.
The materials are amorphous and mechanically stable beyond 100 °C.
The ionic conductivity reaches 8·10−5 S cm−1 at 30 °C.
The lithium transference number is comprised between 0.3 and 0.1.
A LFP/Li-polymer cell delivers 100 mAh g−1 at 60 °C and 0.1 mA cm−2
