In this work, different concentrations of lithium iodide (LiI) have been added to the gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) containing PEO and PVA in equal ratio, tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI), ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and iodine crystals (I2). The effect of introducing lithium...
