Abstract
Transparent and opaque solid polymer electrolytes with high lithium io n conductivity were synthesized using various photocurable acrylates a nd methacrylates in combination with low molecular weight poly(ethylen e oxides) (PEG) and LiClO4. The methods of experimental design and opt imization were applied to identify the optimum composition range of ac rylic monomers, PEG, and LiClO4. The highest ion conductivities were f ound to be 8.5 x 10(-5) Omega(-1) cm(-1) for multiphase and 3.7 X 10(- 5) Omega(-5) cm(-1) for single-phase multicomponent systems at 25 degr ees C. The polymer electrolytes are used for electrochromic ''smart wi ndow'' applications.
