“…As the conductivity vs temperature data obeys Arrhenius relationship, the nature of cation transference is quite similar to that occurring in ionic crystals, where ions jump into neighboring vacant sites and, hence, increase the ionic conductivity [25]. Similar behavior has been observed in a number of other polymer electrolytes [26,27]. The conductivity follows the relation, 0 exp(-E a /kT) where σ 0 is the proportionality constant, E a , the activation energy, T, the absolute temperature, and k is the Boltzmann constant.…”
