The effect of ZrO2-g-poly(methyl acrylate-co-maleic anhydride) on the performance of polyacrylonitrile gel polymer electrolyte in lithium ion batteries

A porous GPE with a honeycomb-like structure was made using PAN and ZMPMAM nanocomposites. It showed 590% electrolyte uptake, 2.74 mS cm −1 conductivity, and a 0.76 Li + transference number, enabling stable 5 V operation and 157 mA h g −1 at 1C.
