Abstract In this publication, we present the basic to characterize the electrical properties of electrolytes that are widely used in ion-rechargeable batteries using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). This simplified yet insightful background provided may be used for educational purposes, especially for beginners or young researchers for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. We start with introduction of electrolytes and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) instrumentation, following with the step-by-step guidelines using three different procedures to estimate the bulk resistance (R b) of the electrolytes, which is inversely proportional to the conductivity (σ DC) of the materials R b ∝ 1 / σ DC $\left({R}_{\mathrm{b}}\propto 1/{\sigma }_{\mathrm{DC}}\right)$ . Several examples and exercises on estimation of quantity R b are supplemented for educational purposes. Comparison was made on estimation of R b using manual graphical procedures, mathematical regression procedures using commercial graphical software and equivalent circuit fitting procedures using exclusive EIS software. The results suggest that the manual graphical technique may serves as a useful approach for beginners before venturing to exclusive software. Besides, the instructors may use the procedures to coach the users to extract reliable and reproducible data before data interpretation. Lastly, the phenomenological approach on dielectric relaxation for solid polymer electrolytes [poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) + lithium salt] and non-solid polymer electrolytes [poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) + lithium salt], in the classic sense will be addressed in terms of impedance (Z*), permittivity (ε*), tangent loss (tan δ), modulus (M*) and conductivity (σ*) spectra in Part 2.

Abstract In the Part 2 of this article, we present the phenomenological response of the dielectric relaxation for polymer electrolytes monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in terms of electrochemical point of view, such as impedance (Z*), permittivity (ε*), loss tangent (tan δ), modulus (M*) and conductivity (σ*) spectra. It is noteworthy to note that all the electrochemical aspects mentioned are of interest for conduction and seen as closely related to each other indirectly or directly. Two different systems; solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) [poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) + lithium perchlorate (LiClO4)] and non-SPE [poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) + LiClO4] were employed for discussion. EIS is a powerful technique to characterize the electrical properties of polymer electrolytes. The results suggest that impedance and modulus are of interest for decoupling of dielectric and electric properties by evaluating the short-range and long-range mobility of the charged entities, respectively. One is able to identify the conduction mechanism of the polymer electrolytes easily if the responses are well understood. The objective of this article to introduce a simplified yet an insightful background and technique that is easy to be followed and useful for educational purposes especially for beginners or young researchers for both undergraduates and postgraduates.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) based carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) were prepared via solution drop-cast technique. The CMC host is complexed by different concentrations of LiClO4 salt. SPEs were characterized by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) in coin cells with lithium metal electrodes. EIS performed unique results based on various ionic conductivity values and dielectric properties. The higher ionic conductivity (1.32 × 10-5 S/cm) was obtained by SPEs 2 following by short-range ionic transport results based on dielectric properties depending on frequency. SPEs with LiClO4 addition are electrochemically stable over 2 V in lithium battery coin cells from LSV results.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) based on cellulose acetate (CA) doped with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt are prepared by solution cast technique. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy of the polymer salt complexes are recorded in the frequency range between 400 cm-1 and 4000 cm-1. The shifting of carbonyl band ( C=O ) at 1737 cm-1 to a lower wavenumber confirms the occurrence of complexation between the polymer and the salt. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis discovered that the film with 25 wt.% of salt shows the highest ionic conductivity at room temperature. The change in real dielectric permittivity (εr) as a function of frequency at different salt concentrations which exhibits a dispersive behavior at low frequencies and decays at higher frequencies, shows the electrode polarization and space charge effect. The real modulus formalism (Mr) analysis shows that the polymer electrolytes in this work are ionic conductors.
