Abstract
Abstract A solid polymeric electrolyte is constituted by a solid solution of an ionic compound in a cross-linked polyether, wherein this latter is the copolymerization product of a vinyl-ether of formula: R--(O--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2).sub.n --O--CH═CH.sub.2 (I) wherein: R is the methyl or ehtyl radical; and n is an integer comprised within the range of from 1 to 16; with a di-vinyl-ether of formula: CH.sub.2 ═CH--(O--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2).sub.m --O--CH═CH.sub.2(II) wherein: m is an integer comprised within the range of from 1 to 16; with a molar ratio of the di-vinyl-ether (II) to the vinyl-ether (I) comprised within the range of from 1/100 to 10/100; with said polyether having a weight average molecular weight of about 10,000, and a glass transition temperature (T g ) comprised within the range of from --60° C. to --80° C. Such a solid polymeric electrolyte is used in the manufacturing of high-energy-density electrochemical generators.
