TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that nanometre-sized ceramic powders can be used as solid plasticizers for polyethylene oxide (PEO) electrolytes to prevent crystallization on annealing from amorphous state above 60°C.

TL;DR: In this article, a model to account for the role of the ceramic fillers in enhancing the transport properties of PEO-based composite polymer electrolytes is proposed, supported by a series of specifically addressed electrochemical tests which included the determination of the conductivity and of the lithium transference number of various composite electrolyte samples differing from the type of the surface states of a ceramic filler.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the synthesis and properties of a kinetically improved cathode material, which is based on a critical step involving the dispersion of metal at a very low concentration (1 wt %).

TL;DR: The physical and chemical properties of a new class of lithium conducting polymer electrolytes formed by dispersing ceramic powders at the nanoscale particle size into a poly(ethylenoxide) (PEO)− lithium salt, LiX complexes, are reported and discussed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the transport and electrochemical properties of gel-type ionic conducting membranes formed by immobilizing liquid solutions of lithium salts in a poly(methylmethacrylate) matrix have been determined.
