摘要 |
An alkali-metal-ion battery (100) is disclosed in one embodiment of the invention as including an anode (102) containing an alkali metal, a cathode (104), and an electrolyte separator (106) for conducting alkali metal ions between the anode (102) and the cathode (104). In selected embodiments, the electrolyte separator (106) includes a first phase comprising poly(alkylene oxide) and an alkali-metal salt in a molar ratio of less than 10:1. The electrolyte separator (106) may further include a second phase comprising ionically conductive particles that are conductive to the alkali metal ions. These ionically conductive particles may include ionically conductive ceramic particles, glass particles, glass-ceramic particles, or mixtures thereof. |
