ABSTRACT
Miniaturized electronic and microelectronic devices are ruling today’s market. The growing demands for such small and lightweight portable electronic devices have led to the use of small-sized components and thin polymer films as electrolytes in batteries. The exploration of liquid electrolytes in batteries requires separate containers that will increase the size of the system. Polymer electrolytes fabricated using polyvinylidene difluoride are best performing, because of their semi-crystalline nature, high anodic stability and the strong electron-withdrawing group present in them. Phase inversion is a film-forming technique that can result in more porous structures than those of membranes synthesized by solvent casting. Electrospinning is an advanced technique used for the synthesis of fibrous membranes with definite porous structure, that can effectively be used as electrolytes with properties suitable for electrochemical batteries. In the electrospinning technique, a polymer solution is allowed to fall on a collector, employing high voltage.
