Blend Polymer

Blend polymer electrolytes were prepared with different wt% compositions of [PVA/PVP-MgCl2·6H2O] : x% using solution cast technique. Structural, morphological, vibrational, thermal, and ionic conductivity and electrochemical properties were studied on the prepared polymer films. XRD revealed the crystalline nature of the polymer electrolyte films. The morphology and the degree of roughness of the prepared films were analyzed by SEM. FTIR and Raman studies confirmed the chemical complex nature of the ligands, interlinking bond formation between the blend polymers and the dopant salt. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymer electrolytes was confirmed by DSC studies. Ionic conductivity measurements were carried out on the prepared films in the frequency ranging between 5000 Hz and 50000 KHz and found to be maximum (2.42 × 10−4 S/cm) for the prepared film with wt% composition 35PVA/35PVP : 30MgCl2·6H2O at room temperature. The electrochemical studies were also performed on the prepared films. The galvanostatic charge/discharge performance was carried out from 2.9 to 4.4 V for the configuration Mg+/(PVA/PVP + MgCl2·6H2O)/(I2 + C + electrolyte).

Methyl-grafted natural rubber (MG30) was treated with N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) to enhance it anti-aging properties. The treated MG30 was used as polymer electrolyte by incorporating lithium trifluoromethane sulfonate (LiTF) through solution-cast technique. The impedance behavior of the sample has been carried out by analyzing the dielectric permittivity, dissipation factor, dielectric modulus and ionic conductivity as a function of temperature at different frequencies through impedance spectroscopy. Keywords: Methyl-grafted natural rubber, polymer electrolyte, N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine, ionic conductivity, dielectric.

Solution Casting Method

Polymer electrolytes based on agarose dissolved in DMSO solvent complexed with different weight percentages of Mg(NO3)2 ranging from 0 to 35 wt% were prepared using a solution casting method. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied to study the electrical properties of this polymer electrolyte, such as ionic conductivity at room and different temperatures, dielectric and modulus properties. The highest conducting film has been obtained at 1.48 × 10−5 S·cm−1 by doping 30 wt% of Mg(NO3)2 into the polymer matrix at room temperature. This high ionic conductivity value is achieved due to the increase in the amorphous nature of the polymer electrolyte, as proven by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), where broadening of the amorphous peak can be observed. The intermolecular interactions between agarose and Mg(NO3)2 are studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy by observing the presence of –OH, –CH, N–H, CH3, C–O–C, C–OH, C–C and 3,6-anhydrogalactose bridges in the FTIR spectra. The electrochemical properties for the highest conducting agarose–Mg(NO3)2 polymer electrolyte are stable up to 3.57 V, which is determined by using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and supported by cyclic voltammetry (CV) that proves the presence of Mg2+ conduction.

Solution Cast

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are the best choice to replace liquid electrolytes in supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar cells and batteries. The main challenge in this filed is the ionic conductivity and thermal stability of SPEs which is still not up to mark, therefore more investigations are needed to address these issues. In this study, PVA/salt based SPEs was fabricated using both solution cast and electro-spinning methods to probe the effect of different salts such as (NaCl, KCl and KI) and their concentrations on the ionic conductivity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) x and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) have been employed to study the morphology as well as the different functional groups of SPEs, respectively. It was noted that small addition of NaCl, KCl and KI salts in SPEs dramatically increased the ionic conductivity to 5.95×10−6, 5.31×10−6 and 4.83×10−6 S/cm, respectively. Importantly, the SPEs obtained with NaCl via electro-spinning have higher ionic conductivity (5.95×10−6 S/cm) than their casted SPEs (1.87×10−6 S/cm). Thermal stability was also studied at two different temperatures i.e. 80 °C and 100 °C. The weight loss percentage of electrospun SPEs have zero percent weight loss than the solution based SPEs. The combined results clearly indicated that the nature of salt, concentration and fabrication process play a vital role in the ionic conductivity. Also, the NaCl salt with low molecular weight at low concentrations shows an enhanced ionic conductivity.
