A starch-resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF)-lithium triflate (LiTf) based biodegradable polymer electrolyte membrane was synthesized via the solution casting technique. The formation of RF crosslinks in the starch matrix was found to repress the starch’s crystallinity as indicated by the XRD data. Incorporation of the RF plasticizer improved the conductivity greatly, with the highest room-temperature conductivity recorded being 4.29 × 10−4 S cm−1 achieved by the starch:LiTf:RF (20 wt.%:20 wt.%:60 wt.%) composition. The enhancement in ionic conductivity was an implication of the increase in the polymeric amorphous region concurrent with the suppression of the starch’s crystallinity. Chemical complexation between the plasticizer, starch, and lithium salt components in the electrolyte was confirmed by FTIR spectra.

Films of methyl cellulose (MC) /chitosan blends were prepared via solution casting technique and their properties with different amount of ammonium trilate, NH4CF3SO3 were compared. Measurements of conductivity as a function of frequency at room temperature on these films were carried out using HIOKI 3532-50 LCR Hi-Tester where the frequency was set between 50 Hz to 1 MHz. Samples having 40 wt% of NH4CF3SO3 exhibit the highest room temperature conductivity of (4.99±4.18) x 10-6 Scm-1. Dielectric data were analyzed using complex permittivity and complex electrical modulus for the sample with the highest ionic conductivity.

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based polymer electrolytes composed of PAN, lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4), ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl phthalate (DMP) were prepared by solution casting technique. The variation of conductivity with LiBF4 concentrations of the prepared films has been studied using AC impedance spectroscopy. The conductivity of the films is charge concentration dependent and the highest room temperature conductivity of 1.08 ×10-2 S cm-1 is achieved for the film with optimum composition. The thermal activated conductivity of the films obeys Arrhenius rule in the temperature range from 303 K to 353 K. The electrochemical stability of the PAN-based films has been investigated using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) with three electrodes system. The films were found to be electrochemically stable up to 4.4 V. The reversibility of the lithium ions conduction in the polymer electrolyte films have been studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV).

In this study, Poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)/Poly (ethyl methacrylate (PEMA) nanocomposite polymer electrolytes was prepared by solution casting technique. The effects of TiO2 nanofiller on the structural, thermal and conductivity characteristics were examined using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and impedance spectroscopy. The crystallinity and conductivity of the salted system are found to increase with the addition of TiO2. The system containing 5 wt % of TiO2 exhibited the highest room temperature conductivity of 1.32 × 10-3 S cm-1.

In this study, the two systems of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) based polymer electrolyte films have been prepared by the solution casting technique. Lithium iodide (LiI) and ethylene carbonate (EC) were used as inorganic salt and plasticizer, respectively. The highest room temperature conductivity for the plasticized system and unplasticized system is 4.42 x 10-5Scm-1and 4.37 x 10-6Scm-1, respectively. The conductivity-temperature dependence studies have been performed on these films in the temperature range of 303 K to 373 K. It can be observed that the logσversus 1000/T plots obey the Arrhenius rule and VTF rule for the plasticized film and unplasticized film, respectively [1-3]. The surface morphology of the plasticized and unplasticized films was observed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Composite solid electrolyte systems composed of different compositions of lithium triflate (LiCF3SO3) as host, and cerium oxide (CeO2) as dispersoid were prepared using sol-gel method. The electrical, structural and morphological properties of the composite solid electrolytes were investigated using impedance spectroscopy (IS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Maximum room temperature conductivity was obtained for the system of 60 mol % LiCF3SO3 – 40 mol % CeO2.

In the present work, using nanosized rare earth oxide CeO2 as filler and acetonitrile as organic solvent, a novel solid-state composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) films (PEO)10LiClO4-x wt.%CeO2 (x=0,2,6,9,12,15) was prepared by solution-casting technique. The effect of CeO2 filler concentration on morphology and electrical characteristics of CPE films has been investigated and analyzed. The AC impedance measurements show that the ionic conductivity of CPE can be efficiently enhanced by adding appropriate CeO2. The highest room temperature (25OC) ionic conductivity of 1.71×10-5S•cm-1 is achieved with the CeO2 content of 9 wt.%. With the CeO2 content continues to increase, CPE ionic conductivity begin to decline. This is because appropriate CeO2 can disorder the chain structure and effectively inhibit the crystallization of PEO, which expands the amorphous region required for the lithium-ion transport.

Effect of lithium triflate (LiTf) concentration on the properties of poly (glycidyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) P(GMAco-MMA)-based solid polymer electrolyte was investigated. The copolymer of (GMA-co-MMA) was synthesized by photopolymerization method. P(GMA–MMA) was fixed at the ratio of 90:10 based on the conductivity result of the electrolyte film. The electrolyte samples were characterized using impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The room temperature conductivity was improved about six orders upon the addition of 30 wt. % LiTf salt into the polymer host. The highest room temperature conductivity was 1.4×10-6 S cm-1 at 30 wt. % LiTf. The highest conductivity of 1.25×10-4 S cm-1 was achieved at 393 K. The polymer electrolyte system exhibits Arrhenius-like behavior with the pre-exponential factor of 1.25×10-4 S cm-1 and activation energy of 0.39 eV. The electrolyte showed electrochemical stability window up to 3 V. The thermal stability increases with the salt concentration. The above results indicate that the electrolyte has potential for lithium ion battery application.

Guar gum succinate (GGS) was chemically modified by reacting guar gum with succinic anhydride in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine. Succination was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with carbonyl bands at 1724 cm−1 and ester linkage at 1567 cm−1 of the succinate group. The resulting amorphous, GGS was used as a polymer host to prepare cost-effective solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) films via incorporating a blend of ethylene carbonate (EC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), lithium triflate (LiTf) and lithium iodide (LiI). SPE system for GGS:EC (1.0:0.6) with 30 wt% LiTf showed highest conductivity of 6.29 × 10−5 S cm−1 and GGS:CMC:EC (0.5:0.5:0.6) with 25 wt% LiI showed highest conductivity of 2.10 × 10−4 S cm−1. FTIR revealed multiple complexation sites for ion mobility indicating that GGS possesses high prospects as a conductive SPE.

This work focuses on the electrical properties study of solid biopolymer electrolyte (SBE) based plasticized carboxy methylcellulose (CMC) doped dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB). Different weight percentage of ethylene carbonate (EC) which acts as plasticizer was incorporated into SBE system and were successfully prepared via solution casting technique. The conduction properties of SBE was investigated by using electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The incorporation of 10 wt.% EC was found to achieve the highest ionic conductivity with 1.00 10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature. All SBE samples shows the ionic conductivity increased proportionally with temperature thus obeys to Arrhenius behaviour with regression value almost close to unity (R2~1). The electrical conduction behaviour of the CMC-DTAB-EC SBE reveals non-Debye behaviour without single relaxation properties.
