✦ Synopsis

The results obtained in our laboratory on the characterization of two families of ionically-conducting membranes, i.e. poly(ethylene oxide)-based and gel-type polymer electrolytes, are reviewed here. Particular attention is devoted to the description of the conditions of the lithium electrode interface and to the approaches which may be undertaken to improve its stability. The most promising applications of the two classes of polymer electrolytes are also outlined.
