A new gel electrolyte comprising methylcellulose (MC), LiBOB and succinonitrile (SN) has been prepared with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent. The electrolyte with composition 8.73 wt % MC–2.92 wt % LiBOB–1.01 wt % SN–87.34 wt % DMSO exhibits the highest conductivity of 1.18 mS cm-1 at 25 °C. On...
