Highly conducting ion exchange polymers can be employed as solid electrolytes in batteries. Their resistivities are intermediate between aqueous electrolytes and the usual inorganic solid electrolytes. Cells containing pairs of metal electrodes behave reversibly. Their emf's form an additive series for the examples tested and are only slightly less than those of their aqueous analogs.
