A new class of alkaline solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and water was investigated. The structure of the SPEs was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction, and optical microscop

โฆ Synopsis
Water-containing and anhydrous alkaline PEO-based solid polymer electrolytes have been prepared, involving two different technologies. They exhibit a high ionic conductivity, and values up to 10e3 Scm-' are obtained for some compositions at room temperature. Conductivity studies and thermal analysis are presented, and the conductivity vs. temperature behaviour of each type of solid polymer electrolyte studied is discussed. Preliminary results are reported concerning the cyclability of cells involving a nickel positive electrode, and a cadmium or a zinc negative electrode.
