These single-ion dominantly conducting polymeric electrolytes Review are very desirable in lithium batteries with less polarization since the electrodes only exchange lithium Lithium borate salts ions with electrolytes. We hope that the new and established researchers in the battery area can obtain a Lithium ion battery clear perspective of this field and our review can provide the motivation for new attempts in this promising Polymeric electrolyte field.

The linear carbonates, on the other hand, promote rapid systems such as electric vehicles and smart grids. To be aimed at ion transport, because of their low viscosity, but their dielectric this application, high energy density batteries with low cost and constant is low [21]. So the mixed solvents consisting of cyclic car- high performance as well as safety are highly desirable.
