An In Situ Polymerization Gel Polymer Electrolyte Based on Pentaerythritol Tetracrylate for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Problems occur frequently during the application of traditional liquid electrolyte batteries, such as fluid leakage and low energy density. As a product of liquid electrolyte transition to solid electrolyte, gel polymer electrolyte has its own advantages for achieving high conductivity and good thermal stability. In this study, pentaerythritol tetracrylate (PETEA) was used as the precursor to prepare polymer-based materials with the assistance of azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as the initiator.
