Ionic liquid gel polymer electrolyte (IL-GPE) was prepared in situ by photocuring of a mixture containing N-methyl-N-propylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (IL), lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulphonyl)imide and ethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate. The obtained IL-GPE was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry (CV and LSV) and galvanostatic charging/discharging. Ionic conductivity of the IL-GPE reached 0.64.10(-4) S cm(-1) at 25 degrees C and increased with a rise in temperature to 4.8 10(-3) S cm(-1) at 95 degrees C. Electrochemical stability of the IL-GPE is ca. 4.8V vs. Li/Li+. The assembled cell consisting of the Li/IL-GPE/LiFePO4 exhibited stable cycle properties and high capacity above 162 mAh g(-1) after 50 cycles (96% of theoretical capacity, which for LiFePO4 is 170 mAh g(-1)) at the C/20 rate and 25 degrees C. The results obtained indicate that the new IL-GPE is a promising candidate as an electrolyte for flexible lithium ion batteries. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
