RESUMEN
Back Cover: Quaternary polymer electrolytes, containing PEO, LiTFSI, ionic liquid and ceramic filler, show higher limiting current density, conductivity and improved cycling performance in lithium metal/solid polymer electrolyte/LiFePO4 cells with respect to ternary electrolytes with either ionic liquid or ceramic filler.

RESUMEN
In this work, the individual and combined effects of an ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and ceramic filler silicon dioxide on the thermal and electrochemical properties of poly(ethylene oxide) electrolytes have been investigated. The electrolyte containing both components has the lowest glass transition (-60 °C) and melting temperatures (27 °C), the highest conductivity at any investigated temperature, and the highest limiting current density (at 40 °C). This solid polymer electrolyte also exhibits the best long-term cycling performance in Li/LiFePO4 cells.
