Preparation and characterization of a novel organophilic vermiculite/poly(methyl methacrylate)/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate composite gel polymer electrolyte

Influences of liquid electrolyte and polyimide identity on the structure and conductivity of polyimide–poly(ethylene glycol) materials

“…A wide range of ionic liquids have been doped in numerous polymers for polymer electrolyte and sensor applications. Some specific polymers that have been doped with ionic liquids for various applications include: sulfonated poly(ether ketone), polyurethane, poly(propylene carbonate), poly(vinyl acetate), poly(vinyl chloride), cellulose triacetate, poly(styrene‐ b ‐methyl methacrylate), poly(styrene‐ b ‐methyl methacrylate), poly(styrene‐ b ‐methylbutylene), poly(styrene‐ b −2‐vinylpyridine), polybutadiene, poly(vinylidene fluoride), poly(vinylidene fluoride‐ co ‐hexafluoropropylene), polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(vinyl pyridine), poly(ethyleneimine), poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), poly(allylamine hydrochloride), poly( n ‐isopropylacrylamide), polysulfides, polysulfone, and polyimides . A large portion of the work involving ionic liquids in PEMs has involved the use of ionic liquids as anhydrous ion vehicles .…”

Elaboration of Amorphous-Clay Hybrid: (Al<sub>2</sub>Si<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>·1/2Li<sub>2</sub>O) Designed as a Single Ion Conducting Solid Electrolyte for Li-Ion Batteries

“…However, there are rare studies concerning solid state electrolytes based on clay materials [4]- [8], such as: poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene)/organo-montmorillonite nanocomposite as a polymer electrolyte [4], poly(ethylene oxide)/intercalated clay as a polymer electrolyte [5], organophilic vermiculite/poly(methylmethacrylate)/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate composite as a gel polymer electrolyte [6], poly(vinylidene fluoride) based nanocomposite porous polymer as a polymer electrolyte in lithium ion batteries [7] and poly(vinylidene fluoride)-clay nanocomposite as a gel polymer electrolyte for Li-ion batteries [8], etc. Otherwise, applications of kaolin-type clay in electronic devices have not been reported.…”

Polymer templated nickel cobaltate for energy storage

“…The Ni 2p peak was composed of two spin-orbit doublets characteristic of Ni 2+ (855 eV) and Ni 3+ (874 eV) [15,28] while the presence of Co 2+ and Co 3+ was indicated with major signals in the Co 2p peak at the binding energies of 780 eV and 796 eV, respectively [10,29]. The presence of metal-oxygen bonds, consistent with formation of an oxide, was confirmed by a signal at ∼630 cm À1 in the FT-IR spectrum for each material [18,30]. The increased porosity of the templated materials was easily verified by SEM (Fig.…”

“…One way to achieve this is to add a polymer template during the initial synthesis of the material. Using polymeric materials as templates may also result in improvements in the mechanical flexibility of the electrode, more reliable mesoporosity, and the capability to introduce pore shape and volume versatility depending on the polymer template utilised [17][18][19]. Many such templating agents exist with two of the more interesting being eggshell membrane (ESM) and poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA).…”
