Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preparation of a polymer electrolyte electrochemical cell using an electrolyte precursor, said precursor comprising one or more solvents, one or more salts and a polymer which dissolves in the solvent at a first temperature (Tdissol) and which is capable of forming a gel on subsequent cooling following heating to a second temperature (Tgel). Tdissol being lower than Tgel, which method comprises: (a) heating the electrolyte precursor to Tdissol; (b) optionally cooling the electrolyte precursor, (c) incorporating the electrolyte precursor into the electrochemical cell; (d) heating the electrochemical cell to Tgel; (e) cooling the polymer electrochemical cell to ambient temperature to bring about gelling of the polymer electrolyte. Preferably the polymer is a homopolymer or copolymer from the group of monomers of vinyl fluoride, vinylidenefluoride, trifluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene.

Abstract: The invention relates to non-aqueous electrochemical cell comprising: a first electrode and a second counterelectrode each capable of reversibly incorporating an alkali metal, preferably lithium; an alkali metal incorporated into at least one of said electrodes; and an electrolyte comprising at least one salt of the alkali metal and a non-aqueous solvent; wherein the said salt is capable of generating HF in the presence of water and the cell includes at least one component, such as a temperature sensitive separator, which precludes complete removal of residual water from the cell, and wherein the cell includes sufficient of an unsaturated cyclic carbonate to reduce the concentration of HF formed by reaction of the electrolyte salt with the residual water.
