: Solid polymer electrolyte (SPEs) films based on poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) P(VDF– HFP) and sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) are prepared using the solution casting technique. Ionic liquid (IL; 1−ethyl-3- methyl−imidazolium tricyanomethanide ([EMIM][TCM]) is incorporated into the prepared polymer-salt complex matrix to further enhance its ionic conductivity. Polarized optical microscopy (POM) shows a change in the surface morphology of IL doped polymer electrolyte films. The composite nature of polymer electrolyte films is confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FT−IR) spectroscopy via studying ion-ion and ion-polymer interactions. The structural morphology of ionic liquid doped polymer electrolyte films (ILDPE) confirms the complexation between the ionic liquid ([EMIM][TCM]), salt (NaSCN) and polymer P(VDF–HFP). This is further confirmed using DSC and XRD measurements. The XRD structural analysis confirms the intensity of crystalline peaks presents in IL doped solid polymer electrolyte films decreases compared to that of pure polymer as well as polymer salt complex system. XRD clearly indicates the enhancement in its amorphous nature which is necessary to increase the conductivity. The incorporation of IL into polymer salt–complex matrix leads to changes in melting of polymer electrolytes, confirmed by DSC thermograms. Polymer electrolyte films are also characterized using impedance spectroscopy (IS) to check their electrical properties. The highest ionic conductivity is found to be 7.80×10-4 S cm-1 for 6 wt% IL doped polymer electrolyte film. The Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) analysis shows that the optimized polymer gel electrolyte is electrochemically stable up to 1.5 V. The calculated value of ionic transference number (tion) is found to be 0.985. A laboratory scale electrical double layer capacitor (EDLC) has been fabricated using this highly conducting polymer electrolyte film. The specific capacitance value is found to be 1.31 F g-1.

AbstractThe experimental study deals with the investigation of the effect of diverse crystallinity of imidazolium ionic-liquid-based SPE on conductivity and current fluctuations. The experimental study was carried out on samples consisting of [EMIM][TFSI] as ionic liquid, PVDF as a polymer matrix and NMP as a solvent. After the deposition, the particular sample was kept at an appropriate temperature for a specific time in order to achieve different crystalline forms of the polymer in the solvent, since the solvent evaporation rate controls crystallization. The ac/dc conductivities of SPEs were investigated across a range of temperatures using broadband dielectric spectroscopy in terms of electrical conductivity. In SPE samples of the higher solvent evaporation rate, the real parts of conductivity spectra exhibit a sharper transition during sample cooling and an increase of overall conductivity, which is implied by a growing fraction of the amorphous phase in the polymer matrix in which the ionic liquid is immobilized. The conductivity master curves illustrate that the changing of SPEs morphology is reflected in the low frequency regions governed by the electrode polarization effect. The dc conductivity of SPEs exhibits Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann temperature dependence and increases with the intensity of thermal treatment. Spectral densities of current fluctuations showed that flicker noise, thermal noise and shot noise seems to be major noise sources in all samples. The increase of electrolyte conductivity causes a decrease in bulk resistance and partially a decrease in charge transfer resistance, while also resulting in an increase in shot noise. However, the change of electrode material results in a more significant change of spectral density of current fluctuations than the modification of the preparation condition of the solid polymer electrolyte. Thus, the contact noise is considered to contribute to overall current fluctuations across the samples.

Polymer Actuator

The fabrication of dry type conducting polymer actuator was presented. In the preparation of actuator system, nitrile rubber (NBR) was used as a base material of the solid polymer electrolyte. Thin films of NBR (150-200μ m) were prepared by compression molding process. The conducting polymer, poly (3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was synthesized on the surface of NBR by chemical oxidation polymerization technique, and the room temperature ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3- methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethyl sulfonyl) imide (EMITFSI) was introduced into the composite film. The ionic conductivity of new type solid polymer electrolyte as a function of the immersion time and the cyclic voltammetry responses and the redox switching dynamics of PEDOT in NBR/ionic liquid solid polymer electrolyte were studied. The displacement of actuator was measured by laser beam radiation.

Natural Filler

The potential for using O-methylene phosphonic κ-carrageenan (OMPk) as a filler in the chitosan-based polymer electrolyte N-methylene phosphonic chitosan (NMPC) was investigated. OMPk, a derivative of κ-carrageenan, was synthesized via phosphorylation and characterized using infrared spectroscopy (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Both the IR and NMR results confirmed the phosphorylation of the parent carrageenan. The solid polymer electrolyte (SPE)-based NMPC was prepared by solution casting with different weight percentages of OMPk ranging from 2 to 8 wt %. The tensile strength of the polymer membrane increased from 18.02 to 38.95 MPa as the amount of OMPk increased to 6 wt %. However, the increase in the ionic conductivity did not match the increase in the tensile strength. The highest ionic conductivity was achieved with 4 wt % OMPk, which resulted in 1.43 × 10−5 Scm−1. The κ-carrageenan-based OMPk filler strengthened the SPE while maintaining an acceptable level of ionic conductivity.
