Polyurethane elastomer-based solid polymer electrolytes for solid-state supercapacitors

Solid polymer electrolytes are one of the promising materials for solid-state supercapacitors. In this work, the solid polymer electrolytes PU-PFL100 were obtained based on polyurethane elastomer filled with LiBF4 solution in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.

Preparation of polymer electrolytes based on polyurethane elastomer by the swelling method

The search for solvents to prepare polymer electrolytes based on polyurethane elastomer by swelling method was carried out. The greatest swelling was observed in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and the maximum degree of swelling was reached in 24 hours at 25°C. The swelling effect decreased with increasing the salt concentration. The ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes reached the maximum of 6–8·10-4 S/cm at 5 wt% of lithium salt.
