As can be seen from table 1, no conductivity was measured from room temperature to 150 ℃, when the temperature was increased to a temperature higher than the melting point of PVDF, PVDF was transformed from a solid phase to a liquid phase to assume a molten state, and lidpob was dissolved in the molten PVDF to connect ionic conductivity, thereby enabling the conductivity to be measured.
