<p>A method of manufacturing an electrochemical cell 2 having a gel electrolyte. An electrochemical cell 2 is provided having a cell casing 4, and a first electrode 6, a second electrode 8, an electrolyte solution and a temperature activated gelling agent disposed within the cell casing 4. A gel electrolyte comprising the electrolyte solution and the gelling agent is formed by passing a current through the electrochemical cell 2 such that the temperature of the gelling agent exceeds the activation temperature of the gelling agent. The activation temperature may be greater than 40oC and the cell may comprise a lithium ion cell. The gelling agent may also be a polymer such as: polyvinylidene fluoride- hexafluoropropylene (PVDF:LHFP) or polyethylene oxide ( PEO).</p> |
