We report novel zinc ion conducting polymer gel electrolytes (PGEs) based on non-volatile room temperature ionic liquids. The PGEs consist of an ionic liquid, with a zinc salt dissolved in it, blended with a polymer matrix, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP). The resultant electrolyte membranes are freestanding, translucent, flexible and elastic, with excellent mechanical integrity and strength. They possess exceptional thermal stability, exhibit essentially no weight loss under dynamic vacuum or upon heating to 200 degrees C, and remain the same gel phase in wide temperature ranges, with ionic conductivities on the order of 10(-3) S/cm at room temperature, 10(-4) S/cm at -20 degrees C and 4-5 x 10(-3) S/cm at 80 degrees C. Electrochemical tests show that zinc ions are mobile in the membranes and zinc metal is capable of dissolution into and deposition from the membranes. The membranes also exhibit wide electrochemical stability windows. The results of this study demonstrate the promise of developing PGEs based on ionic liquids for potential application in next-generation non-aqueous zinc battery systems. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V..
