Abstract:
One variation of a method for fabricating an electrolyte includes: depositing an electrolyte material over a substrate, the electrolyte material including a monomer miscible in a first volume of solvent, a polymer semi-miscible in the monomer and miscible in the first volume of solvent, and a photoinitiator; exposing the electrolyte material to electromagnetic radiation to disassociate the photoinitiator into a reactive subspecie that crosslinks the monomer to form an electrolyte structure with the polymer phase-separated from the electrolyte structure; dissolving the polymer out of the electrolyte structure with a second volume of solvent to render a network of open-cell pores in the electrolyte structure; and exposing the electrolyte structure to a third volume of solvent and ions to fill the network of open-cell pores with solvated ions.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1 :\n wherein exposing the electrolyte material to electromagnetic radiation comprises selectively exposing the electrolyte material to electromagnetic radiation to crosslink the monomer to form the electrolyte structure with the polymer phase-separated from the electrolyte structure and entangled to form a suspension inhibiting local crosslinking of the monomer throughout the electrolyte material; wherein dissolving the polymer out of the electrolyte structure comprises rinsing the electrolyte structure with the second volume of solvent to dissolve the polymer in the suspension out of the electrolyte structure to render the network of open-cell pores, characterized by an upper bound in cross-sectional dimension, in the electrolyte structure; and wherein depositing the cathode material over the electrolyte structure comprises depositing, over the electrolyte structure, the cathode material comprising:\n a first proportion of lithium-storing material; and \n a second proportion of conductive particles less than the first proportion and exhibiting a lower size bound greater than the upper size bound in cross-sectional dimension of open-celled pores in the electrolyte structure.
