Abstract
Sol-gel processes make it possible to develop new hybrid electrolyte materials of the type ceramicpolymer, known as Nano-Crystallite-Insertion-Material (NCIM). They can be used in reversible alkali electrochemical cells after insertion with cations such as Li+. In the present study, TiO2-polyethylene oxide hybrid materials were synthesized, from TiCl4 and from Ti ethoxide. Their structure is analyzed in relation with the processing parameters. A primary evaluation of the nanoscale composite materials for reversible Li insertion was done.
