Electrochemical analysis of Silver ion conducting Gel polymer Electrolyte (Ag-GPE) was done with Linear sweep Voltammetry (LSV) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). The silver ion conducting GPE was prepared by solution casting technique with PVA as polymer, AgBF4 as salt and de-ionized water as solvent. The synthesized films were-characterized using XRD and-FTIR to study the structural and functional characteristics of GPE and confirmed the complexation between polymer and salt. The optical properties of the Ag-GPE sample was studied by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The highest ionic conductivity, 1.28 × 10− 5 Scm-1 was observed for Ag-GPE sample (60:40 wt%) by AC impedance. Dielectric studies of Ag-GPE samples were done from AC impedance data. LSV used to analyze the electrochemical working voltage of the synthesized material, which is found to be 1.1V. CV studies were done for highest ion conducting GPE (60:40 wt%) by fabricating two different cells. The first cell SS/GPE/Ag showed good stability up to 25 cycles and the second cell Ag/GPE/Zn was analysed for the re-dox reaction of the cell which shows the electrochemical behaviour of battery and confirmed that, the synthesized material can be used for energy storage applications.
An effort has been made to synthesize PVA based gel polymer electrolyte films by means of solution
casting technique doped with silver ion in different concentration of polymer and salt (80:20, 70:30
and 60:40 wt.%). The resulting PVA and CH3COOAg gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) material came to
be analyzed through various characterization methods for instance XRD, FTIR and UV-Vis
spectrophotometry. The analysis of FTIR and XRD confirmed the polymer and salt complexation.
The ionic conductivity for prepared GPE was evaluated by means of AC impedance studies at room
temperature. The highest value of ionic conductivity found for PVA: CH3COOAg (30 wt.%) system
was found to be 1.422 × 10-5 S cm-1. The optical and cyclic voltammetric analysis have been examined
and excellent cyclic, reversible performance was observed for the electrolyte PVA:CH3COOAg (70:30
wt.%) up to 10 cycles.
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.
