abstract

  • Post-lithium batteries, based on alkaline and alkaline earth elements, are cheaper technologies with the potential to produce disruptive changes in the transition towards cleaner and sustainable energy sources less dependent on fossil fuels. This contribution deals with the development and characterization of sodium-conducting solvent-free polymer electrolytes towards the attainment of Sodium Polymer Batteries. Obtained via the polycondensation of α, ω-dihydroxy oligo(oxyethylene) with an unsaturated dihalide, whose further curing leads to amorphous
    networked electrolyte films. Using NaClO4 and NaCF3SO3 at different O/Na ratios, the best polymer electrolyte reaches a cationic conductivity (σ+) exceeding 1 mS cm
