A novel polymer electrolyte was prepared by employing poly(ethyleneglycol)
(PEG)-borate ester as plasticizer to the electrolyte composed of poly(ethyl
eneglycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) and lithium bis-trifluorumethanesulfonimide
(LiTFSI). The PEG-berate ester shows good thermal stability and high hash
point. The ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte increases with inc
reasing amount of the PEG-berate eater and exhibits greater value than 10(-
4) S cm(-1) at 30 degreesC and 10(-3) S cm(-1) at 60 degreesC. (C) 2001 Els
