Title: Polyethylene imine-metal salt solid electrolyte

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5449557

This patent application pertains to battery electrolytes. Accordingly, it is an object of invention to provide new solid electrolytes. Another object of this invention is to provide new polymeric electrolytes. A further object of this invention is to provide polymeric electrolytes using a wider variety of metal salts. These and other objects of this invention are accomplished by providing; A solid polymer electrolyte comprising: a matrix of linear poly(ethylene amine) having the formula (-CH2CH2NH-)n; and a metal salt which is LiI, LiClO4, NaI, NaBr, KI, CsSCN, AgNO3, CuCl1, CoCl2, or Mg(ClO4)2, wherein the salt is dissolved in and distributed throughout the poly(ethylene imine) matrix and from more than zero to 0.10 moles of salt are used per mole of monomer repeat unit, (-CH2CH2NH-).
