An all solid-state lithium/polypyrrole (PPy) battery using polyethylene oxide (PEO)-LiClO[sub 4] as a solid polymer electrolyte was assembled, and the effects of the morphology of the PPy film and the concentration of LiClO[sub 4] on battery performance were investigated. Optimum conditions for the redox properties of PPy films in PEO-LiClO[sub 4] at 80 C were obtained with an LiClO[sub 4] concentration of n = 8 [approximately] 20 (n=[EO]/[Li]) when using rough PPy film. A Li/PPy battery using PEO-LiClO[sub 4] with optimized conditions exhibited high coulombic efficiency, above 90% at 0.1 mA cm [sup [minus]2] at 80 C. Cyclability of 1,400 cycles with high coulombic efficiency was attained.
