AbstractProton conduction in polymer composites of PVA+H3PO4 AND PVA+H2SO4 have been investigated. The films protonated by H3PO4 show protonic conductivity between 10−6to 10−3ohm−1cm−1 depending upon the relative ratios and temperature. H2SO4 protonated PVA films also show proton conductance of almost similar magnitude. The ionic transference number has been estimated to be 0.95 for H3PO4 protonated PVA film of ratio 70:30. The frequency and temperature dependence of electrical conductivity has also been carried out. These polymer films have been used to fabricate an electrochromic cell. The colorationtime determined from response time measurement for the system “SnO2|Glass|WO3 film|PVA film|SnO2 Glass” is 2.6 sec for H3PO4 doped films and 6 seconds for H2SO4 doped films.

The gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) composed of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF3SO3) salt dissolved in a binary mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) organic solvents have been prepared by the solution casting technique. The samples are prepared by varying the salt concentrations from 5 wt.% to 30 wt.%. Impedance spectroscopy measurement has been carried out to determine the ionic conductivity of the samples. The sample containing 25 wt.% of LiCF3SO3salt exhibits the highest room temperature ionic conductivity of 2.56 x 10-3S cm-1. The conductivity of the GPEs has been found to depend on the salt concentration added to the sample, while at higher salt concentration reveals a decrease in the ionic conductivity due to ions association. The temperature dependence of conductivity from 303 K to 373 K is found to obey the Arrhenius law. The ionic transference number,tiof GPEs has been estimated by the DC polarization method and the value is found to be 0.98, 0.93, and 0.97 for the sample containing 25 wt.%, 5 wt.% and 30 wt.% respectively. This result is consistent with the conductivity studies.

The gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) composed of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate (NaCF3SO3) salt dissolved in a binary mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) organic solvents have been prepared by solution casting technique. The samples are prepared by varying the salt concentrations from 5 wt.% to 30 wt.%. Impedance spectroscopy measurement has been carried out to determine the ionic conductivity of the GPE samples. The sample containing 20 wt.% of NaCF3SO3salt exhibits the highest room temperature ionic conductivity of 3.10 x 10-3S cm-1. The conductivity of the GPEs has been found to depend on the salt concentration added to the sample though at higher salt concentration reveals decreasing in ionic conductivity due to ions association. The temperature dependence of conductivity from 303 K to 373 K is found to obey the Arrhenius rule. The ionic transference number, ti of GPEs has been estimated by DC polarization method and the value is found to be 0.95, 0.99, and 0.97 for the sample containing 5 wt.%, 20 wt.% and 30 wt.% respectively. This result is consistent with the conductivity studies.

A gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) comprising of 62.3 mol% of epoxidized-30% poly(methyl methacrylate) grafted natural rubber (EMG30) as a polymer host, LiCF3SO3 as a dopant salt and ethylene carbonate (EC) as a plasticizer was prepared by solution-casting technique. The effect of plasticizer on the EMG30- LiCF3SO3 on the ionic conductivity is explained in terms of the plasticizer loading of the film. The temperature dependence of the conductivity of the polymer films obeys the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher (VTF) relationship. The ionic transference number is calculated using Wagner’s polarization technique shows that the conducting species are predominantly due ions and hence showed the system is an ionic conductor. Surface morphological analysis showed the sample with the highest conductivity exhibited most homogenous in nature.

Free standing polymer electrolyte films comprising of ammonium trifluoromethane sulfonate in poly(ethyl methacrylate) were prepared and characterized. The structural and electrical properties of the polymer electrolytes were investigated by X-ray diffraction and a.c. impedance spectroscopy, respectively. The formation of polymer-salt complex has been confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study. Conductivity of the polymer electrolytes increased with salt content. The highest ionic conductivity in the order of 10-5 S cm-1 at room temperature was achieved for the system with 35 wt% of ammonium salt. The temperature dependence of conductivity obeyed the Vogel-Tammam-Fulcher relation. The activation energy has been calculated from the VTF formalism. The ionic transference number of the mobile ions estimated by Wagner’s polarization method was close to unity for the highest conducting sample implying that the conductivity was contributed by ions which was expected to be protons.

In this work, a pair of biopolymer materials has been used to prepare high ion-conducting electrolytes for energy storage application (ESA). The chitosan:methylcellulose (CS:MC) blend was selected as a host for the ammonium thiocyanate NH4SCN dopant salt. Three different concentrations of glycerol was successfully incorporated as a plasticizer into the CS–MC–NH4SCN electrolyte system. The structural, electrical, and ion transport properties were investigated. The highest conductivity of 2.29 × 10−4 S cm−1 is recorded for the electrolyte incorporated 42 wt.% of plasticizer. The complexation and interaction of polymer electrolyte components are studied using the FTIR spectra. The deconvolution (DVN) of FTIR peaks as a sensitive method was used to calculate ion transport parameters. The percentage of free ions is found to influence the transport parameters of number density (n), ionic mobility (µ), and diffusion coefficient (D). All electrolytes in this work obey the non-Debye behavior. The highest conductivity electrolyte exhibits the dominancy of ions, where the ionic transference number, tion value of (0.976) is near to infinity with a voltage of breakdown of 2.11 V. The fabricated electrochemical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) achieves the highest specific capacitance, Cs of 98.08 F/g at 10 mV/s by using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique.

ABSTRACTOxides in the Sr-Fe-Co-O system exhibit both electronic and ionic conductivities. Recently, the Sr-Fe-Co-O system attracted great attention because of its potential to be used for oxygen-permeable membranes that can operate without electrodes or external electrical circuitry. Electronic and ionic conductivities of two compositions of the Sr-Fe-Co-O system, named SFC-1 and SFC-2, have been measured at various temperatures. The electronic transference number is much greater than the ionic transference number in SFC-1, whereas the electronic and ionic transference numbers are very similar in SFC-2. At 800°C, the electronic and ionic conductivities are ≈76 and ≈4 S•cm−1, respectively, for SFC-1; whereas, for SFC-2, the electronic and ionic conductivities are ≈10 and ∼1 S•cm−1, respectively. By performing a local fitting to the equation σ • T = Aexp(-Ea / kT), we found that the oxide ion activation energies are 0.92 and 0.37 eV, respectively, for SFC-1 and SFC-2. The oxygen diffusion coefficient of SFC-2 is ≈ 9 x 10−7cm2/sec at 900°C.
