 In the present work polymer electrolytes were formulated using the solvent casting technique. Under special conditions, the electrolyte content was of fixed ratio of polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP): polyacrylonitrile (PAN) (25:75), ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) (1:1) with 10% of potassium iodide (KI) and iodine I2 = 10% by weight of KI. The conductivity was increased with the addition of ZnO nanoparticles. It is also increased with the temperature increase within the range (293 to 343 K). The conductivity reaches maximum value of about (0.0296 S.cm-1) with (0.25 g) ZnO. The results of FTIR for blend electrolytes indicated a significant degree of interaction between the polymer blend (PVP and PAN) and the KI salt. From the electrolyte observations of the nanocomposites, the broad peak became narrower after adding the ZnO nanoparticle to the KI salt. The dielectric reaction decreased with the increase of the frequency at room temperature. The high dielectric permittivity of the polymer at lower frequencies can be attributed to the dipoles having sufficient time to get aligned with the electric field, resulting in higher polarization.

Sodium ion conducting gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) films consisting of polyvinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) as a polymer host were prepared using the solution casting technique. Sodium trifluoromethane-sulfonate (NaCF3SO3) was used as an ionic salt and the mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) as the solvent plasticizer. The GPE films were found to be stable up to temperature of 145 °C as shown by TGA analysis. The AC impedance study show that the optimum conductivity of 2.50 x 10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature is achieved for the film containing 20 wt.% of NaCF3SO3 salt. The temperature dependence of conductivity obeys VTF relation in the temperature range of 303 K to 373 K.

AbstractEpitaxial ferroelectric/colossal magnetoresistive PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3/La0.7(Pb,Sr)0.3MnO3 (PZT/LPSMO) thin film heterostructures have been grown onto SrTiO3 single crystals by KrF pulsed laser deposition technique to fabricate nonvolatile magnetosensitive memory. Colossal magnetoresisitivity (CMR) in LPSMO film has been tailored to room temperature by compositional control to get the maximum temperature coefficient of resistivity of 7.3 %K−1 @ 295 K and maximim magnetoresistivity of 27% @ 7 kOe and 300 K. The main processing parameters have been optimized to preserve CMR performance in LPSMO film after deposition of the top ferroelectric layer. Vertical Au/PZT/LPSMO/STO capacitor cell possesses very high dielectric permittivity about 1500 and rather low loss of 5% at 1 kHz, saturation polarization of 40.4 µC/cm2, remnant polarization of 20.6 µC/cm2, coercive field of 22.8 kV/cm, and no visible fatigue after 1.33.108 reversals. Three top contact metals: Au, Pt, and Ta, deposited at room temperature, have been examined. As compared with Ta, Pt and Au top contacts show superior performance regarding to combined properties: high remnant and saturation polarization, low loss and no fatigue while top Ta contacts have been found to be more efficient to reduce leakage in ferroelectric film.

ABSTRACTNanocomposite electrolytes based on lithium hectorite (LiHect) clay dispersed in highdielectric organic solvents such as ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) are shown to exhibit room-temperature conductivities exceeding 10−4 S/cm. The LiHect-based composites reveal lithium ion transference numbers of ∼0.8, as measured by the steady-state current method. In addition, dynamic rheological techniques show this system to be mechanically stable with elastic modulus G' exceeding 107 dynes/cm 2 and yield stress exceeding 104 dynes/cm2.

In this work, the uses of giant dielectric constant of Y2NiMnO6 ceramics were investigated in the frequency range from 1 kHz to 3 MHz. The Y2NiMnO6 ceramics were sintered at 1400 °C for 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours, respectively. The dielectric properties of Y2NiMnO6 ceramics were examined in dc bias from 0 to 1.5 volt at room temperature. We found that all sintering times displayed high dielectric permittivity at frequencies below 105 Hz, above which the values decreased significantly, applied dc bias also reduced dielectric permittivity. The peak of dielectric loss decreased significantly at high dc bias due to decreased contribution of dc conductivity in grain ceramics. This research has characterised electrical properties of Y2NiMnO6 ceramics which maybe suitable for electronic components including batteries and capacitors.

Phthaloylchitosan-based gel polymer electrolytes were prepared with tetrapropylammonium iodide, Pr4NI, as the salt and optimized for conductivity. The electrolyte with the composition of 15.7 wt.% phthaloylchitosan, 31.7 wt.% ethylene carbonate (EC), 3.17 wt.% propylene carbonate (PC), 19.0 wt.% of Pr4NI, and 1.9 wt.% iodine exhibits the highest room temperature ionic conductivity of 5.27 × 10−3 S cm−1. The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) fabricated with this electrolyte exhibits an efficiency of 3.5% withJSCof 7.38 mA cm−2,VOCof 0.72 V, and fill factor of 0.66. When various amounts of lithium iodide (LiI) were added to the optimized gel electrolyte, the overall conductivity is observed to decrease. However, the efficiency of the DSSC increases to a maximum value of 3.71% when salt ratio of Pr4NI : LiI is 2 : 1. This cell hasJSC,VOCand fill factor of 7.25 mA cm−2, 0.77 V and 0.67, respectively.

In this study, the two systems of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) based polymer electrolyte films have been prepared by the solution casting technique. Lithium iodide (LiI) and ethylene carbonate (EC) were used as inorganic salt and plasticizer, respectively. The highest room temperature conductivity for the plasticized system and unplasticized system is 4.42 x 10-5Scm-1and 4.37 x 10-6Scm-1, respectively. The conductivity-temperature dependence studies have been performed on these films in the temperature range of 303 K to 373 K. It can be observed that the logσversus 1000/T plots obey the Arrhenius rule and VTF rule for the plasticized film and unplasticized film, respectively [1-3]. The surface morphology of the plasticized and unplasticized films was observed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM).
