Many types of polymer electrolytes have been developed and characterized in the past few years. Recently special
attention has been focussed on the development of gel polymer electrolytes consisting of host polymers such as PAN, PVC,
PVP, PVS, PMMA, PEGDA and PVdF etc., as they may find unique applications in consumer electronic and electric vehicle
products. In the present study, gel polymer electrolytes have been prepared using the solvent casting technique in the
presence of PVdF-1015 (SOLEF), EC1PC as a plasticizer, and LiBF salt. The influence of the amount of polymer, 4
plasticizer and LiBF on the gel electrolytes has been studied using XRD, DSC, AC impedance and charge–discharge 4
