Abstract

This paper explains some properties of gel polymer electrolytes, which are mostly used in lithium ion batteries. An emphasis is laid on the internal structure and its influence on the mobility of ions in the substance. The ions are solvated and located randomly in the liquid base of the gel, and their movement is predominantly determined by the Stokes law for liquid electrolytes. Polymethylmethacrylate gel is used as a model substance here. This report is based on the experience of the authors and their associates.
