In summary, polymers are omnipresent in modern day commercial batteries and in battery research activities. One important component of batteries is the separator. While porous separators have been commercially available for a long time, gel–polymer electrolytes and solid polymer electrolytes are emerging areas for lithium-ion battery technology.
The combination of two electrodes based on polymeric active materials can lead to full-polymeric batteries [17, 33] (see Figure 2, top)—one of the polymers can be oxidized and one can be reduced during the charge process. Nevertheless, polymer-based electrodes can also be combined with other electrodes.
Polymer-based batteries typically consist of the electrodes and the electrolyte/separator (see Section 4.4). The electrodes themselves typically consist of three components in different ratios: The active polymer (see Section 4.1), a conductive additive (see Section 4.2) as well as a polymeric binder (see Section 4.3).
None of the above-mentioned batteries would work without polymers. Polymers can be found in the electrodes, where they act as binders, ensuring a good adhesion and contact among the different materials. Furthermore, many membranes are based on polymers.
Overall, new battery chemistries offer promising paths towards high-performance energy storage (Fig. 2d) for improved sustainability, and there is a significant opportunity for innovation in polymer science and engineering to help solve longstanding problems and enable the development of these devices.
