High-Performance Alginate-Poly(ethylene oxide)-Based Solid Polymer Electrolyte.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have gained tremendous attention because they are expected to solve the safety problems caused by liquid electrolytes. However, the low ion-transport capacity, insufficient mechanical strength, and unsatisfying flame-retardant properties greatly limit their further application. Here, we designed a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based SPE by introducing a calcium alginate (CA) nanofiber membrane obtained by electrospinning as a framework.
