In the present investigation, we study the properties of the plasticized polyglycidyl methacrylate P(GMA) copolymerized with polymethyl methacrylate P(MMA)-LiClO4polymer electrolyte prepared by solution casting technique. The electrolyte was characterized using impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The conductivity was improved from1.3×10−12 S cm−1to8.7×10−6 S cm−1upon the addition of 25 wt.% LiClO4salt into P(GMA-MMA). The conductivity was improved from1.4×10−6 S cm−1to3.0×10−4 S cm−1upon the addition of 80 wt.% EC into P(GMA-MMA)-LiClO4The band that belongs to C–O–C is shifted farther than the band of C=O upon the addition of LiClO4into P(GMA-MMA). The band of C–O–C stretching is shifted to lower wavenumber upon the addition of EC into P(GMA-MMA)-LiClO4. Upon the addition of EC into P(GMA-co-MMA), the intensity of the peaks decreases, implying the amorphous nature of the electrolyte increases with the concentration of the plasticizer. The electrolyte is electrochemically stable at 3.8 V, making it suitable for dye-sensitized solar cell application.

Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are developed using poly(1-vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate) [P(VP-co-VAc)] as the host polymer, lithium bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide [LiTFSI] as the lithium salt and ionic liquid, and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [EMImTFSI] by using solution casting technique. The effect of ionic liquid on ionic conductivity is studied and the optimum ionic conductivity at room temperature is found to be 2.14 × 10−6 S cm−1for sample containing 25 wt% of EMImTFSI. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity from 303 K to 353 K exhibits Arrhenius plot behaviour. The thermal stability of the polymer electrolyte system is studied by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) while the structural and morphological properties of the polymer electrolyte is studied by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), respectively.


Poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), Polyvinylchloride (PVC) blend membrane doped with different molar weight percentage of NH4Br has been prepared by solution casting technique using dimethyleformamide (DMF) as solvent and characterized for electrical properties. The prepared polymer electrolyte has been studied by XRD, FT-IR, Dielectric and Capacitance measurements. The XRD results show that the amorphous nature of PVP has increased in 70%PVP: 30%PVC. It is also observed that the amorphous nature of 70%PVP: 30%PVC is further increased by the addition of different concentration of NH4Br. A complex formation of PVP: PVC, PVP: PVC: NH4Br have been confirmed by FT-IR studies. Proton conductivity for the above film has been measured using impedance spectroscopy. The polymer blends 70%PVP: 30%PVC shows an ionic conductivity of 8.46X10-8 Scm-1. The conductivity of the blend film increases as concentration of NH4Br increases. The maximum proton conductivity 2.78X10-3 Scm-1 has been observed for 70%PVP: 30%PVC: 0.6 Molar weights (MWt) NH4Br. The primary proton battery with configuration of Zn + ZnSO4.7H2O/70PVP:30PVC: 0.6 Mwt% NH4Br/PbO2 + V2O5 are fabricated and tested.

Magnesium-ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) based on PMMA with ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) as a plasticizing solvent were prepared via the solution casting technique. Mg(CF3SO3)2 salt was used as source of magnesium ions, Mg2+. The variation of conductivity with salt concentrations, from 5 wt.% to 30 wt.% was studied. The gel polymer electrolyte with composition 20 wt.% of Mg(CF3SO3)2 exhibited the highest conductivity of 1.27 x 10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature. The conductivity-temperature dependence of gel polymer electrolyte films obeys Arrhenius behaviour with activation energy in the range of 0.18 eV to 0.26 eV. Ionic transport number was evaluated using DC polarization technique and it reveals the conducting species are predominantly ions. It is found that the ionic conductivity and transport properties of the prepared GPEs are consistent with the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) studies.

The effect of different concentrations in weight per volume percentage, (w/v)% of iota-carrageenan and carboxymethyl-iota carrageenan used as the green polymer electrolyte has been studied. The polymer electrolyte films were prepared by solution casting technique. Different concentration in the range from 1.0 – 6.0 (w/v)% were dissolved in fix volume of acetic acid which act as solvent. The films have been analyzed through attenuated Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The EIS results showed that the ionic conductivity increased as the concentration of the polymer increases. In comparison between iota-carrageenan and carboxymethyl iota-carrageenan, carboxymethyl-iota carrageenan showed better results due to the presence of more active site. The highest conductivity achieved by iota-carrageenan and carboxymethyl iota-carrageenan were 3.45 × 10-6S cm-1and 9.57 × 10-4S cm-1at the concentration 3.0 and 4.0 (w/v)% , respectively. From the FTIR spectra, it depicts that the intensity of significant peaks of ether and carboxylate group increases as the concentration of polymer increases. The XRD analysis showed that as the concentration of polymer increase, the amorphous region in the films would be enhanced. This study showed that the concentration play significant role in the ionic conductivity improvement.

The present work deals a new polymer electrolyte, that is, polyvinylpyrrolidone doped with salt ammonium iodide and plasticizer ethylene carbonate (EC) prepared via solution casting technique for supercapacitor application. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was carried out using CH instrument electrochemical work station which shows enhancement in conductivity ( σ) value by doping EC. Polarized optical microscopy confirms the reduction of crystallinity in the polymer electrolyte which established a good relation with our conductivity data. Fourier transform spectroscopy proves the composite nature of plasticized polymer electrolyte. X-Ray diffraction shows the decrease in the crystallinity in polymer matrix after incorporation with the plasticizer. A laboratory-scale electrical double-layer capacitor has been fabricated using graphene oxide electrode and maximum conducting polymer electrolyte which shows reasonable performance.

This study reported the preparation and characterization of gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) using poly (vinylidine fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP), lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) and 1-butyl-3-metilimmidazoliumhexafluorophosphate [PF6]. The GPE were prepared by solution casting technique. [Bmim] [PF6] ionic liquid is used as an additive for the purpose of increasing the ionic conductivity of GPE. Morphological analysis showed that the electrolyte gel polymer sample had a smooth and flat surface with the addition of [Bmim] [PF6] and no phase separation effect was observed. This shows the compatibility between PVdF-HFP and [Bmim] [PF6]. ATR-FTIR analysis showed that C-F bond related peaks experienced peak changes in terms of intensity and peak shifting. This proves the interaction of the imidazolium ion with the fluorine atom through the formation of coordinate bonds. Ionic conductivity analysis showed that PVdF-HFP-[Bmim][PF6] samples reached a maximum room temperature ionic conductivity value of 2.44 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 60 wt.% [Bmim] [PF6]. When 20 wt.% of LiClO4 added to the system, the ionic conductivity increased one magnitude order to 2.20 × 10-3 S cm-1.

Hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolytes were prepared using the solution casting technique. The effect of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) plasticizer on the structural and electrical properties of the prepared electrolyte system was investigated by X-ray diffraction and impedance spectroscopy, respectively. Upon addition of 15 wt. % of DMC, the ionic conductivity was increased to 4.09 x 10-4 S cm-1 from 3.06 x 10-4 S cm-1. The XRD results revealed the variation in conductivity from the structural aspect. For example, sample with lower crystallinity exhibits higher conductivity. The Rice and Roth model was employed to understand the variation in conductivity on the basis of number and mobility of free ions.

κ-Carrageenan is an anionic polymer extracted from marine red algae. In order to increase conductivity of the κ-carrageenan, carboxymethyl κ-carrageenan was synthesized by the reaction of κ-carrageenan with monochloroacetic acid. A polymer electrolyte comprising κ-carrageenan and carboxymethyl κ-carrageenan was prepared by solution-casting technique. The films were characterized by Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) to investigate the presence of the complexes. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy was conducted to obtain ionic conductivity. Ionic conductivity was found to increase with the addition of carboxymethyl group on carrageenan. The conductivity achieved for κ-carrageenan and carboxymethyl κ-carrageenan were 5.34×10-7 S cm−1 and 2.02×10−4 S cm-1, respectively.
