To improve the safety and promote the cycling life of lithium ion batteries, a lot of work has been done on gel polymer electrolytes, which can act as separator and electrolyte. The key is the gel membrane. Some former work delivers quite some misunderstandings such as requirements on mechanical strength, porosity and shut-down performance on gel membranes. Here we will expound our pioneering work from fundamental research to the commercial products, which is unique over the world.
