28.1 INTRODUCTION

Solvent-free polymer electrolytes may be formed by the interaction of polar polymers with metal ions. Ion transport in polymer electrolytes extensively studied since Wright [1] discovered that polyethyleneoxide (PEO) can act as a host for sodium and potassium salts, thus producing a solid electrical conductor polymer/salt complex. The unique idea of employing these polymer electrolytes in battery applications belong to Armand et al. [2].
