Studies of polymer electrolytes began with the pioneering works of Wright et al. and Armand et al. [4,5]. Since then, several studies [6] have been devoted to the fundamental understanding of ionic conduction in polymer electrolytes and to further their application as solid electrolytes in solid electrochemical devices, especially in rechargeable lithium solid-state batteries. In this chapter, we summarize the correlation between the characteristics of polymer electrolytes and their ionic conductivity in terms of carrier transport and generation processes. Our recent studies on the use of polymer electrolytes as media for electrochemical reactions are also presented. 

Because of the interest in its use in elevated-temperature molten salt electrolyte batteries, one of the first binary alloy systems studied in detail was the lithium-aluminium system. As shown in Fig. 1, the potential-composition behavior shows a long plateau between the lithium-saturated terminal solid solution and the intermediate P phase "LiAl", and a shorter one between the composition limits of the P and y phases, as well as composition-dependent values in the single-phase regions [35], This is as expected for a binary system with complete equilibrium. The potential of the first plateau varies linearly with temperature, as shown in Fig. 2. 

The majority of electrochemical cells to have been constructed are based on PEO, PAN, or PVdF [101]. Recently, the Yuasa Corporation have commercialized solid polymer electrolyte batteries, primarily for use in devices such as smart cards, ID cards, etc. To date, the batteries which have been manufactured and marketed are primary lithium batteries based on a plasticized polymer electrolyte, but a similar secondary battery is expected [120]. 

Currently, there is great interest in the application of solid electrolytes for high-performance secondary lithium batteries...
