Abstract:Composite grafted polymer electrolyte based on chitosan grafted poly(methyl methacrylate) (Ch-g-PMMA) have been prepared and investigated. The lithium triflouromethanesulfate salt (LiCF3SO3 or LiTf), ethylene carbonate (EC) and SiO2 are applied as a salt, plasticizer and ceramic filler, to the polymer host system. Impedance spectroscopy was performed at room temperature. The highest conductivity of 1.63 x 10-4 Scm-1 was obtained for the grafted polymer with 50 wt. % of LiCF3SO3 and enhanced to 2.23 x 10-4 Scm-… Show more
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.
