Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Lithium Batteries: A Tribute to Michel Armand

Abstract

In a previous publication, a tribute to Michel Armand was provided, which highlighted his outstanding contribution to all aspects of research and development of lithium-metal and lithium-ion batteries. This area is in constant progress and rather than an overview of the work of Armand et al. since the seventies, we mainly restrict this review to his contribution to advances in solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and their performance in all-solid-state lithium-metal batteries in recent years.
