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.
