Abstract: The gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) based on PVDF-HFP and NPGDA network was prepared via γ-ray irradiation method. The structure, thermal stability and electrochemical performace of the GPE effected by irratiation dose were examined. The relationship between ionic conductivity and temperature followed Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher (VTF) equation, which suggested amorphous regions being dominant in GPE. The GPE irradiated at 5 kGy exhibited electrochemical stability up to 4.7 V vs Li/Li+ and high conductivity of 7.8×10-3 S·cm-1 at 25 ℃. In situ prepared LiMn2O4∣GPE∣Li cells exhibited good cycle performance, which provided a new approach to the fabrication of lithium-ion polymer batteries (LiPBs).
