Synthesis and Characterization of Proton Conducting Polymer Electrolytes based on Poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) and Polyvinylchloride

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.

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.

AbstractSulfopropylated polysilsesquioxane and –COOH containing fluorinated sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) composite membranes (SPAES-SS-X) have been prepared via an in situ sol–gel reaction through the solution casting technique. The composite membranes showed excellent thermal and chemical stability, compared to the pristine SPAES membrane. The uniform dispersion of the sulfonated SiOPS nanoparticles on the polymer matrix was observed from the scanning electron microscope images. Atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images indicated significantly better phase-separated morphology and connectivity of the ionic domains of the composite membranes than the pristine SPAES membrane. The composite membranes showed considerable improvement in proton conductivity and oxidative stability than the pristine copolymer membrane under similar test conditions.

In the present work, the effect of Li salt i.e. LiClO4 contained in composite plasticizer (PC+DEC) with three different concentrations on ionic transport and other electrochemical properties of PMMA based gel polymer electrolytes synthesized has been investigated. The electrolytes have been synthesized by solution casting technique by varying the wt (%) of salt and plasticizer. The formation of polymer-salt complexes and their structural characterization have been carried out by FTIR spectroscopic and XRD analyses. The room temperature ionic conductivity of the electrolyte composition 0.6PMMA-0.125(PC+DEC)-0.15LiClO4 (wt %) has been found to be maximum whose magnitude is 0.40×10-5 S/cm as determined by ac impedance analysis. The temperature dependent ionic conductivity of electrolyte sample0.6PMMA-0.125(PC+DEC)-0.15LiClO4 has further been investigated. Thermal analyses of electrolyte samples of all three compositions have also been done.

Aceclofenac-loaded poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone)-based nanofiber formulations were prepared by electrospinning to obtain drug-loaded orally disintegrating webs to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate of the poorly soluble anti-inflammatory active that belongs to the BCS Class-II. Triethanolamine-containing ternary composite of aceclofenac-poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) nanofibers were formulated to exert the synergistic effect on the drug-dissolution improvement. The composition and the electrospinning parameters were changed to select the fibrous sample of optimum fiber characteristics. To determine the morphology of the nanofibers, scanning electron microscopy was used. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were applied for the solid-state characterization of the samples, while the drug release profile was followed by the in vitro dissolution test. The nanofibrous formulations had diameters in the range of few hundred nanometers. FT-IR spectra and DSC thermograms indicated the amorphization of aceclofenac, which resulted in a rapid release of the active substance. The characteristics of the selected ternary fiber composition (10 mg/g aceclofenac, 1% w/w triethanolamine, 15% w/w PVPK90) were found to be suitable for obtaining orally dissolving webs of fast dissolution and potential oral absorption.

Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), was applied to investigate the complexation, structural, ionic transport properties and dominant charge carrier species in Chitosan (CS) / Methyl Cellulose (MC) blend doped with 1 – butyl – 3 – methylimidazolium bis (trifluorosulfonyl) imide (BMIMTFSI) solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBEs) which have been prepared via solution casting technique. Samples were partially opaque in appearance with no phase separation. The occurrence of interactions between the host polymer CS/MC blend and ionic dopant BMIMTFSI were proven by FT-IR analysis from the shift in C-O band in 1049 cm-1. The FTIR spectrum in the region between 1080 and 980 cm−1 were deconvoluted using Origin 8 software to disclose the percentage of free mobile ions and contact ion of the samples. Ionic transport properties analysis reveals that the ionic conductivity is dependent on the ionic mobility (μ) and diffusion of ions (D).Keywords: Biopolymer Electrolyte; Polymer Blend; Chitosan, Methylcellulose; BMITFSI; Ion transport.

Bentonite has been subjected to modification through ion-exchange reaction by 1-cetylpyridinum chloride. The modified samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The basal spacing of unmodified bentonite, determined by XRD was 14.99 Å and after modification it increased up to 16.97 Å and 16.22 Å at 1CEC and 2CEC. The FT-IR studies revealed structural differences between the modified and unmodified bentonite samples. The IR spectra of the modified bentonite showed the C-C stretching bands (1465 and 1462 cm-1) and C-H vibrations (near 2926 and 2852; 2854 cm-1). Results of the SEM study revealed a tendency towards lump formation and agglomeration of the organomodified clay particles of bentonite. The possibility of the use of new organoclay to adsorb oils from aqueous solution will be explored.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 50(1), 65-70, 2015

A series of metal complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of Schiff base with metal (II) salt solution. The complexes were characterized by UV and FT- IR studies. The study reveals that the geometry of the complexes were octahedral. The electronic spectra of these complexes show a strong absorption band in 550 – 580 nm region. This confirms the coordination of ligand with metal. The FT-IR shows a very strong band at 1606cm-1 assigned to C=N stretching vibration. It is shifted to lower wave number because of the complex formation, suggesting that coordination of the Schiff base groups through N- atoms with the metal ion. The band at 3056cm-1 is due to aromatic O-H stretching, the sharp peak at 750 cm-1 and 688 cm-1 are due to halogens substituted in the para position.
