Abstract

In this thesis, new polymeric materials were developed aiming at improving the actual Li-O2 batteries. The goal of different chapters has been focused in the development of polymer-based solid electrolytes and new polymer binders that are suitable for this type of batteries. In this work we aimed at developing materials and methods combining industrially scalable polymerization processes such as UV-photopolymerization, more secure solid electrolytes based in gel electrolytes or iongels, low toxicity solvents such as green glymes or ionic liquids and new ionic compounds including poly(ionic liquid)s, borate salts and fluorinated anions.
