Electrically conducting solution of a salt in a polymer.
Notes:
- An example of a solid @P04728@ is a solution of a lithium salt in a poly(oxyethylene) matrix; the ionic conductivity of such material is due to the mobility of lithium cations and their counterions in an electric field.
- Although the adjective 'solid' is used, the material may be a liquid.
- The term solid polymer electrolyte should not be confused with the term polymeric electrolyte.
