The potential for using O-methylene phosphonic κ-carrageenan (OMPk) as a filler in the chitosan-based polymer electrolyte N-methylene phosphonic chitosan (NMPC) was investigated. OMPk, a derivative of κ-carrageenan, was synthesized via phosphorylation and characterized using infrared spectroscopy (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Both the IR and NMR results confirmed the phosphorylation of the parent carrageenan. The solid polymer electrolyte (SPE)-based NMPC was prepared by solution casting with different weight percentages of OMPk ranging from 2 to 8 wt %. The tensile strength of the polymer membrane increased from 18.02 to 38.95 MPa as the amount of OMPk increased to 6 wt %. However, the increase in the ionic conductivity did not match the increase in the tensile strength. The highest ionic conductivity was achieved with 4 wt % OMPk, which resulted in 1.43 × 10−5 Scm−1. The κ-carrageenan-based OMPk filler strengthened the SPE while maintaining an acceptable level of ionic conductivity.

Abstract Solid-state sodium ion batteries are frequently referred to as the most promising technology for future energy storage applications. However, developing a solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity and a wide electrochemical stability window, remains a major challenge. Although solid-polymer electrolytes have attracted great interest due to their low cost, low density and very good processability, they generally have significantly lower ionic conductivity and poor mechanical strength. Here, we report on the development of a low-cost solid polymer electrolyte comprised of poly(ethylene oxide), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and sodium hexafluorophosphate, mixed with indium arsenide nanowires. We show that the addition of 1.0 percent by weight of nanowires increases the sodium ion conductivity in the polymer to 1.50 × 10-4 Scm−1 at 40° C. This is the highest reported conductivity for any solid polymer electrolyte to date. In order to explain this remarkable characteristic, we propose a new transport model where sodium ions hop between close-spaced defect sites present on the surface of the nanowires, forming an effective complex conductive percolation network. Our work represents a significant advance in the development of novel solid polymer electrolytes with embedded ultrafast 1D percolation networks for next generations of low-cost, high-performance batteries with excellent energy storage capabilities.

Blend-based polymer electrolytes composed of PVDF-HFP/MG-49 (70/30) and LiClO4 as lithium salt has been studied. Solution casting method was applied to prepare the polymer electrolyte. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the electrolyte films. The maximum value of 2.51×10ˉ6 S cm-1 was obtained at ambient temperature for the 30 wt. % of LiClO4 and the conductivity increased to 1.10×10ˉ3 S cm-1 by increasing the temperature up to 383 K. FTIR spectra demonstrated that complexation occurred between the polymers and lithium salt.
