A novel methacrylic gel-polymer membrane was synthesized by free radical photo polymerisation (UV-curing technique). The polymerisation was very easy, fast and reliable and the membrane shows good behaviour in terms of both conductivity and cyclability in Li cells. The anode materials were prepared...
