Effect of lithium triflate (LiTf) concentration on the properties of poly (glycidyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) P(GMAco-MMA)-based solid polymer electrolyte was investigated. The copolymer of (GMA-co-MMA) was synthesized by photopolymerization method. P(GMA–MMA) was fixed at the ratio of 90:10 based on the conductivity result of the electrolyte film. The electrolyte samples were characterized using impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The room temperature conductivity was improved about six orders upon the addition of 30 wt. % LiTf salt into the polymer host. The highest room temperature conductivity was 1.4×10-6 S cm-1 at 30 wt. % LiTf. The highest conductivity of 1.25×10-4 S cm-1 was achieved at 393 K. The polymer electrolyte system exhibits Arrhenius-like behavior with the pre-exponential factor of 1.25×10-4 S cm-1 and activation energy of 0.39 eV. The electrolyte showed electrochemical stability window up to 3 V. The thermal stability increases with the salt concentration. The above results indicate that the electrolyte has potential for lithium ion battery application.

LATP-based composite electrolytes were prepared by sintering the mixtures of LATP precursor and La2O3 nano-powder. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy suggest that La2O3 can react with LATP during sintering to form fine LaPO4 particles that are dispersed in the LATP matrix. The room temperature conductivity initially increases with La2O3 nano-powder addition showing the maximum of 0.69 mS∙cm−1 at 6 wt.%, above which, conductivity decreases with the introduction of La2O3. The activation energy of conductivity is not largely varied with the La2O3 content, suggesting that the conduction mechanism is essentially preserved despite LaPO4 dispersion. In comparison with the previously reported LATP-LLTO system, although some unidentified impurity slightly reduces the conductivity maximum, the fine dispersion of LaPO4 particles can be achieved in the LATP–La2O3 system.

Since the lithium-ion conductor Li[Formula: see text]GeP2S[Formula: see text] (LGPS) with a super high room-temperature conductivity of 12[Formula: see text]mS/cm was first reported in 2011, sulfide-type solid electrolytes have been paid much attention. It was suggested by Kwon et al. [J. Mater. Chem. A 3, 438 (2015)] that some excess lithium ions in LGPS, namely, Li[Formula: see text]Ge[Formula: see text] P[Formula: see text]S[Formula: see text], could further improve their ionic conductivities, and the highest conductivity of 14.2[Formula: see text]mS/cm was obtained at [Formula: see text] though a larger lattice parameter that occurred at [Formula: see text]. In this study, we focus on these two different chemical compositions of LGPS with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. Both samples were prepared using the same experimental process. Their lattice parameter, microstructure and room-temperature ionic conductivity were compared in detail. The results show that the main phase is the tetragonal LGPS phase but with a nearly identical amount of orthorhombic LGPS phase coexisting in both samples. Bigger lattice parameters, larger grain sizes and higher ionic conductivities are simultaneously achieved in Li[Formula: see text]Ge[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text]S[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]), exhibiting an ultrahigh room-temperature ionic conductivity of 18.8[Formula: see text]mS/cm.

The present investigation deals with the preparation of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-doped plasticized polymer electrolyte. The nanocomposite has been prepared using solution casting method. Complex impedance spectroscopy study revealed the utmost room temperature conductivity of 5.6 × 10−4 S/cm when optimized plasticized polymer electrolyte (poly(ethyl methacrylate)+30% sodium iodide+60% ethylene carbonate) was doped with 7% MWCNT. Temperature dependence of conductivity showed Arrhenius behavior. The surface morphology and crystalline–amorphous deviation of the composite was observed using scanning electron microscope. Perfect complexation of various components of the composite was confirmed from Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. The transference number measurement was done to calculate the proportionate amount of ionic and electronic conductivity. A dye sensitized solar cell has been fabricated using maximum ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolyte and its electrical parameters measured at 1 sun condition.

Lithium Lanthanum Titanate, Li3xLa(2/3)-x□(1/3)-2xTiO3, with three different compositions of (i) x = 0.097 (Li0.29La0.57TiO3), (ii) x = 0.117 (Li0.35La0.55TiO3), and (iii) x = 0.167 (Li0.50La0.50TiO3) were prepared via solid state reaction synthesis sintered at 1150 °C for 36 hours. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that all samples can be indexed to a cubic perovskite structure with lattice parameter a of about 3.86 Å. Morphological analysis using SEM showed that the samples are relatively dense and the calculated relative density of the LLTO samples range from about 94% to as high as 99% with increasing trend as Li content increases. Room temperature conductivity and its temperature dependence up to 120 °C were investigated. LLTO sample with x =0.117 revealed the highest total ionic conductivity at room temperature of about 1.69 x 10-03 S/cm which can be a promising solid electrolyte for an all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries.

Polydichlorophosphazene was synthesized from hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene by high-temperature ring-opening polymerization, and poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethanol phosphazene)(MEEP) was synthesized by reacting polydichlorophosphazene with alcohol sodium. The optimal synthesis parameters were obtained and the structure of MEEP was analyzed by NMR. Then polyphosphazene electrolyte was prepared by mixing MEEP with LiCF3SO3. The results indicated that the electrolyte prepared in this paper has high decomposition temperature, and its room-temperature conductivity is up to 1.187×10-4 S/cm.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based proton-conducting solid polymer electrolyte was prepared with a high salt concentration of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) by the technique of solvent casting. From the X-ray diffraction studies, the semicrystalline nature of PVA with the inclusion of NH4NO3 was studied. XRD analysis indicates that the highest ion conductive sample exhibits the minimum crystalline nature. The decreasing trend of Jonscher-exponent with temperature rise reveals that the present system is insured by the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model. The maximum room temperature conductivity was found to be 5.17 × 10−5 S/cm for PVA loaded 30 wt.% of NH4NO3. The ionic transport of the proton-conducting solid polymer electrolyte was studied at the temperature range of 303–353 K. The conductivity-temperature relationship of the systems was analyzed using both the Arrhenius and Vogel–Tammann–Fulcher (VTF) models to explain the ionic hopping mechanism for the system.

A novel kind of efficient solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) based on crosslinked polyester matrix has been prepared by employing low molecular weight PEG (oligo-PEG, Mw = 400 g/mol), followed by crosslinking of the PEG with citric acid (CA). The oligo-PEG, with small coil size, can be easily penetrated into mesopores of TiO2 photoelectrode, while the mechanical stability of the SPE can also be maintained by crosslinking. The factor of weight ratio of CA cross linker in the hybrid plays an important role in determining the intersegmental distance and free volume of the polymer matrix, which sequentially affects the electrochemical activity of the conductive ions and then the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte. By using the 32.4 wt.% CA in the matrix, the SPE with the optimal room temperature conductivity (σ) of 5.43×10-5 S/cm was obtained.

Tetramethyl-tetraselenafulvalene (TMTSF) and bis(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) are flagship precursors in the field of molecular (super)conductors. The electrocrystallization of these donors in the presence of (n-Bu4N)TaF6 or mixtures of (n-Bu4N)TaF6 and (n-Bu4N)PF6 provided Bechgaard salts formulated as (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.84(PF6)0.16, (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.56(PF6)0.44, (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.44(PF6)0.56 and (TMTSF)2(TaF6)0.12(PF6)0.88, together with the monoclinic and orthorhombic phases δm-(BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)0.94(PF6)0.06 and δo-(BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)0.43(PF6)0.57, respectively. The use of BEDT-TTF and a mixture of (n-Bu4N)TaF6/TaF5 afforded the 1:1 phase (BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)2·CH2Cl2. The precise Ta/P ratio in the alloys has been determined by an accurate single crystal X-ray data analysis and was corroborated with solution 19F NMR measurements. In the previously unknown crystalline phase (BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)2·CH2Cl2 the donors organize in dimers interacting laterally yet no organic-inorganic segregation is observed. Single crystal resistivity measurements on the TMTSF based materials show typical behavior of the Bechgaard phases with room temperature conductivity σ ≈ 100 S/cm and localization below 12 K indicative of a spin density wave transition. The orthorhombic phase δo-(BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)0.43(PF6)0.57 is semiconducting with the room temperature conductivity estimated to be σ ≈ 0.16–0.5 S/cm while the compound (BEDT-TTF)2(TaF6)2·CH2Cl2 is also a semiconductor, yet with a much lower room temperature conductivity value of 0.001 to 0.0025 S/cm, in agreement with the +1 oxidation state and strong dimerization of the donors.
