Studies of plastic crystal gel polymer electrolytes based on poly(vinylidene chloride-co-acrylonitrile)

Protic plastic crystal/PVDF composite membranes for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells under non-humidified conditions

“…The ionic conductivity dependence with temperature was correlated with the phase transitions observed in the material, reaching 1.27 × 10 -6 S.cm - To improve the mechanical stability of the electrolytes, OIPCs can be combined with a commercial polymer that acts as a support [22][23][24][25]. [26] Composite nanofibers based on the same plastic crystal and polymer can also be prepared by co-electrospinning, and the increased ionic conductivity of these composites is beneficial for their use as solid-state electrolytes for batteries [27].…”

The role of disaccharides as a plasticizer in improving the interaction between chitosan chain based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs)

“…This is caused by ions hopping to their neighbours’ interaction sites with the aid of temperature. 37,41,42 In region II, on the other hand, conductivity was shown to increase with temperature when compared to region I. This is because, at high temperatures, the energy is large enough to overcome the potential barriers that are formed between the sites, resulting in an increase in free volume in the system, which promotes the segmental mobility of ionic charge carriers.…”
