Abstract

Polymer electrolytes have caught the attention of next-generation lithium (Li)-based batteries because of their exceptional energy density and safety. Modern society requires efficient and dependable energy storage technologies. Although lithium-based with good performance are utilized in many portable gadgets and electric vehicles (EVs), their potential for utilization is constrained by frequent fires and explosions. We discuss the fundamental properties and description of various polymer electrolytes, such as solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs), gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), and composite polymer electrolytes, in this article (CPEs). We also describe significant advances in non-aqueous Li-based rechargeable batteries. The obstacles and possibilities for developing innovative polymer electrolytes for high-performance Li-based batteries are discussed.
