New solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) doped with lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF3SO3), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) plasticizer, and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles were prepared by solution-casting technique. The conductivity was enhanced by addition of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) plasticizer and ZrO2nanofiller with maximum conductivity(1.38×10-4 Scm-1). The absorption edge and band gap values showed decreases upon addition of LiSO3CF3, DBP, and ZrO2due to the formation of localized states in the SPE and the degree of disorder in the films increased.

Nanocomposite solid polymer electrolytes comprise of PMMA (poly methyl methacrylate), PVP (poly vinyl pyrolidone), MSA (methanesulfonic acid) and TiO2 as nanofiller were prepared by solution casting technique at different compositions. Sample with 1 mol% incorporated TiO2 has shown maximum conductivity and its value was found as 2.82 ×10-5 S/cm. The value of conductivity has been enhanced to about 31% upon the addition of nanofiller. The relaxation time for all the prepared composites as well as for the composite having maximum conductivity at various isotherms have been calculated from the loss tangent plot. The frequency and temperature dependence of dielectric constant and dielectric loss nanocomposite solid polymer electrolytes have also been studied. The modulus analysis confirms the non-Debye type formalism in the prepared composites.

AbstractSolid polymer electrolytes based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) doped with LiPF6 have been prepared using solution casting technique. Electrical properties of prepared electrolyte films were analyzed using AC impedance spectroscopy. The ionic conductivity was found to increase with increasing salt concentration. The maximum conductivity of 8.94 × 10−3 S·cm−1 was obtained at ambient temperature for the film containing 20 mol% of LiPF6. The conductivity enhancement was correlated to the enhancement of available charge carriers. The formation of a complex between the polymer and salt was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The optical nature of the polymer electrolyte films was analyzed through UV-Vis spectroscopy.

In the present work, the effect of Li salt i.e. LiClO4 contained in composite plasticizer (PC+DEC) with three different concentrations on ionic transport and other electrochemical properties of PMMA based gel polymer electrolytes synthesized has been investigated. The electrolytes have been synthesized by solution casting technique by varying the wt (%) of salt and plasticizer. The formation of polymer-salt complexes and their structural characterization have been carried out by FTIR spectroscopic and XRD analyses. The room temperature ionic conductivity of the electrolyte composition 0.6PMMA-0.125(PC+DEC)-0.15LiClO4 (wt %) has been found to be maximum whose magnitude is 0.40×10-5 S/cm as determined by ac impedance analysis. The temperature dependent ionic conductivity of electrolyte sample0.6PMMA-0.125(PC+DEC)-0.15LiClO4 has further been investigated. Thermal analyses of electrolyte samples of all three compositions have also been done.

A new solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) comprising copolymer of poly(glycidyl methacrylate, GMA) and (ethyl methacrylate, EMA) as polymer host and LiClO4as dopant was prepared by solution-casting technique. The copolymer was prepared by photopolymerization method and was characterized using NMR. The SPEs were characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The highest conductivity achieved was 4.0x10-4at 373K with highest conductivity at room temperature (2.7x10ˉ5 S cm-1at 30 wt. % of LiClO4). The active coordination site for the cation (Li+), three electrons donating functional carbonyl, ether and epoxy group of the GMA-co-EMA host have been evaluated base on their properties that were recorded in (FTIR). The structural analysis showed reduction in copolymer crystallinity phases at its highest conductivity

Solid polymer electrolytes comprising of various weight ratios of poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) salt were prepared via solution casting technique using N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent. The conductivity values of the electrolytes were determined utilizing Solatron 1260. The highest conductivity obtained is in the order of 10-6 S cm-1. Structural properties of the electrolytes were investigated by X-ray diffraction and the results show that the highest conducting film is the most amorphous.

Thin films of poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO), poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and selected blends of PEO/PMMA with and without the addition of LiClO4 were prepared using solution casting technique. The presence of a single Tg which corresponds closely to that of the Gordon Taylor equation confirms the miscibility of both the salt-free and salt-doped blends. The Tgs and the ion conductivity (σ) at room temperature of PEO, PMMA and the PEO/PMMA blends generally increase with ascending salt concentration (Y). Variations in the σ value as a function of Y for all the three systems correlate closely with their respective Tg results. PMMA-salt complex records the lowest σ value at all salt concentrations. PEO/PMMA/LiClO4 blend with 75 wt% PEO exhibits the highest σ value of 5 x 10-7 S cm-1 at Y = 0.10. The σ value of the blend-salt system is observed to be slightly lower than that of the PEO-salt system. This is due to reduced segmental motion cause by increased Tg of the blend and a decrease in free ions in the amorphous phase of PEO as a small amount of the salt is solvated by PMMA in the blend. Therefore, the percolation path lies in the amorphous PEO rich phase of the blend.

The present work consists of a series of studies with regard to the structure and charge transport in solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) prepared using various new bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI)-based dianionic dilithium salts in crosslinked low-molecular-weight poly(ethylene glycol). Some of the thermal properties (glass transition temperature, differential molar heat capacity) and ionic conductivities were determined for both diluted (EO/Li = 30:1) and concentrated (EO/Li = 10:1) SPEs. Trends in ionic conductivity of the new SPEs with respect to anion structure revealed that while for the dilute electrolytes ionic conductivity is generally rising with increased length of the perfluoroalkylene linking group in the dianions, for the concentrated electrolytes the trend is reversed with respect to dianion length. This behavior could be the result of a combination of two factors: on one hand a decrease in dianion basicity that results in diminished ion pairing and an enhancement in the number of charge carriers with increasing fluorine anion content, thereby increasing ionic conductivity while on the other hand the increasing anion size and concentration produce an increase in the friction/entanglements of the polymeric segments which lowers even more the reduced segmental motion of the crosslinked polymer and decrease the dianion contribution to the overall ionic conductivity. DFT modeling of the same TFSI-based dianionic dilithium salts reveals that the reason for the trend observed is due to the variation in ion dissociation enthalpy, derived from minimum-energy structures, with respect to perfluoroalkylene chain length.
