Summary: Room temperature ionic liquid: 2,3-dimethyl-1-octylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (DMOImPF 6 ) has been incorporated in polyvinylidenefluoride -cohexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) to develop non-aqueous polymer electrolyte membranes. The conductivity of polymer electrolyte membranes depends upon the composition of ionic liquid and maximum conductivity of 1.35 Â 10 À3 S/cm at 120 8C has been observed. The addition of plasticizers has been found to enhance the conductivity of polymer electrolytes by one order of magnitude which depends upon the dielectric constant of plasticizer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
