Thin films of epoxidized-30% poly (methyl methacrylate)-grafted natural rubber (EMG30) doped with lithium triflate (LiTf) salt were prepared by using the solution-casting technique. Transformation of carbon double bond (C=C) into epoxide group (C-O-C) in EMG30 polymer host was confirmed by 1HNMR analysis. The ionic conductivity measurement was carried out and the highest conductivity was found to be at 5.843×10-3 S cm room temperature for the sample with composition at 60wt% EMG30: 40wt% LiTf. Thermal gravimetric analysis studies showed that upon the addition of lithium salts into EMG30 was increased the thermal stability of the polymer electrolyte systems.
In this study, a freestanding thin film composed of lithium triflate (LiTf) salt (30-40 wt.%) and epoxidized-30% poly (methyl methacrylate)-grafted natural rubber (EMG30) (50, 54.6, 62.3 mol %) were prepared by a solvent cast technique. The EMG30 were found to increase the ionic conductivity of EMG30-LiTf by one order of magnitude compared to MG30-LiTf. The highest ionic conductivity achieved was 5.584 x10-3Scm-1at room temperature when 40 wt.% of LiTf salts were introduced into 62.3 mol % EMG30. The ionic conduction mechanisms in EMG30-LiTf electrolytes obey Arrhenius rule in which the ion transport in these materials is thermally assisted.
This paper presents on ionic conductivity of MG30-PEMA blend solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) prepared by solution cast technique. The analysis has shown that conductivity increases with the increasing salt composition. It is observed via x-ray diffraction analysis that the crystallinity of the sample decreased with the amount of salt composition as expected It is also observed that the dielectric value increases with increasing amount of LiCF3SO3 in the sample. Surface morphology revealed that ion aggregation occurred after optimum conductivity which has lowered the conductivity.
30% poly(methyl methacrylate) grafted natural rubber was treated with N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) additive (TMG30) to retard its degradation before further used as electrolytes. The polymer electrolytes containing MG30-6PPD-LiTF were prepared by solution cast technique. X-ray diffraction studies show the electrolytes with the highest salt content are amorphous in nature. The TMG30-salt complexes were confirmed by using Fourier transformation infrared analysis. The highest ionic conductivity of the TMG30 polymer electrolytes containing 40 wt.% LiTF was found to be 1.5 x 10-2 S/cm at room temperature. Transference number studies show that the sample with highest ionic conductivity exhibits the charge transport species in this TMG30 polymer electrolyte film is predominantly due to ions.
In this work, solid polymer electrolyte compose of blended 30% poly (methyl methacrylate) grafted natural rubber (MG30)-poly (ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) polymer blend doped with Lithium trimethasulfonate (LiCF3SO3) films were prepared by solution casting technique. . FTIR analysis showed that the interactions between lithium ions and oxygen atoms occur at the carbonyl functional group C=O where there is shifting in wavenumber from 1728 cm-1 of pure blend to lower wavenumber of blended MG30-PEMA on the MMA structure in both MG30 and PEMA. DSC analysis showed miscibility of polymer blend. From Electrochemical Impedance Spectrocopy analysis, ionic conductivity increase with the increasing of salt concentration. Maximum conductivity at room temperature is 9.20 x 10-6 Scm-1 was obtained when 30 wt% of LiCF3SO3 was added into the system. Ionic conductivity temperature dependence plots found obeys the Arrhenius rule.
