Complexion Formation in PVA/PEO/CuCl₂ Solid Polymer Electrolyte

Abstract

Solid polymer electrolyte films based on polymer blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), with different concentration of copper (II) chloride (CuCl 2 ) were prepared using casting technique. Optical studies were performed using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The optical properties of these films were varied by varying CuCl 2 concentration. The results show the absorption edge for electrolyte samples shifts toward a lower energy region by increasing the salt concentration, leading to the band gap reduction. The band gap energy data showed that the incorporation of CuCl 2 into the polymeric system causes charge transfer complexes in the blend polymer, which lead to increase in the electrical conductivity, by providing additional charges in the lattice. The PVA/PEO/CuCl 2 solid polymer electrolyte films exhibit good UV shielding properties in the wavelength range from 190 to 400 nm.

Fabrication Polyvinyl alcohol - Poly-Acrylic acid/ Niobium Carbide New Bio-Films for Antibacterial Applications

“…The figure shows that the NbC nanoparticles is aggregated as a cluster at lower concentrations. When increasing the concentrations of NbC nanoparticles, the nanoparticles form a paths network inside the (PVA-PAA) blend [31]. This behavior consistent with the results of researchers [32,33].…”

Structural and Optical Properties of (PMMA/ZrO/Ag) New Nanocomposites for Optoelectronics and UV Detectors Applications

“…The optical conductivity spectra indicated that the samples are transmittance within the visible and near infrared regions. Too, the optical conductivity of nanocomposites is increased with the increase of Ag nanoparticles' concentration; this behaviour is related to the creation of localized levels in the energy gap; the increase of Ag nanoparticles' concentration increases the density of localized stages in the band structure, hence, increase of the absorption coefficient consequently increasing the op-tical conductivity of (PMMA-ZrO 2 -Ag) nanocomposites [111,112].…”
