Preparation and characterization of PVC/PMMA blend polymer electrolytes complexed with LiN(C2F5SO2)2

Abstract

Thin films of polymer blend electrolytes comprising Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and Poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) and plasticized with a combination of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) for different lithium imide salt, LiN(C2F5SO3)2 , concentrations were prepared using the solution casting technique. The films were subjected to a. c. impedance measurements as a function of temperature ranging from -30 °C to 70 °C. The variation of ionic conductivity as a function of temperature and PVC content in the blend was analysed. The role of PMMA in the phenomena occurring at the interface between the plasticized polymer electrolyte and lithium electrode was also studied. The cast films were also subjected to TG/DTA and FT-IR studies which are discussed

Preparation, Characterization and Dielectric Properties of Alginate-Based Composite Films Containing Lithium Silver Oxide Nanoparticles

“…The shift of the peak corresponding to the hydroxyl group is caused by hydrogen bonding interactions between SA and LAO ( Srivastava et al, 2012 ); whereas that of the peak corresponding to the carboxyl group is due to the symmetrical carboxylate bonding of SA to the LAO NP surface ( Unal et al, 2010 ; Srivastava et al, 2012 ). The incorporation of LAO into the SA film also leads to a decrease in the intensity of stretching vibrations of the OH group, suggesting that the NPs are dispersed in the SA matrix ( Elizabeth et al, 2004 ; Suhas et al, 2013 ).…”
