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.

Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are developed using poly(1-vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate) [P(VP-co-VAc)] as the host polymer, lithium bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide [LiTFSI] as the lithium salt and ionic liquid, and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [EMImTFSI] by using solution casting technique. The effect of ionic liquid on ionic conductivity is studied and the optimum ionic conductivity at room temperature is found to be 2.14 × 10−6 S cm−1for sample containing 25 wt% of EMImTFSI. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity from 303 K to 353 K exhibits Arrhenius plot behaviour. The thermal stability of the polymer electrolyte system is studied by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) while the structural and morphological properties of the polymer electrolyte is studied by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), respectively.

Solid polymer electrolytes comprising of various weight ratios of poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) salt were prepared via solution casting technique using N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent. The conductivity values of the electrolytes were determined utilizing Solatron 1260. The highest conductivity obtained is in the order of 10-6 S cm-1. Structural properties of the electrolytes were investigated by X-ray diffraction and the results show that the highest conducting film is the most amorphous.

Composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) comprised of hexanoyl chitosan-polystyrene-LiCF3SO3-TiO2 were prepared by solution casting technique. The TiO2 fillers were treated with 4% sulphuric acid (H2SO4) aqueous solution. The effect of treated TiO2 on the structural and electrical behaviour of the prepared electrolyte systems was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and impedance spectroscopy, respectively. Addition of TiO2 decreases the crystallinity of the electrolytes. Ac conductivity was calculated from σ(ω) = εoεrωtanδ. It is found that at all frequencies, σ(ω) increases with increasing temperature. Dielectric constant decreases with increasing frequency and increases with increasing temperature.

The effect of different concentrations in weight per volume percentage, (w/v)% of iota-carrageenan and carboxymethyl-iota carrageenan used as the green polymer electrolyte has been studied. The polymer electrolyte films were prepared by solution casting technique. Different concentration in the range from 1.0 – 6.0 (w/v)% were dissolved in fix volume of acetic acid which act as solvent. The films have been analyzed through attenuated Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The EIS results showed that the ionic conductivity increased as the concentration of the polymer increases. In comparison between iota-carrageenan and carboxymethyl iota-carrageenan, carboxymethyl-iota carrageenan showed better results due to the presence of more active site. The highest conductivity achieved by iota-carrageenan and carboxymethyl iota-carrageenan were 3.45 × 10-6S cm-1and 9.57 × 10-4S cm-1at the concentration 3.0 and 4.0 (w/v)% , respectively. From the FTIR spectra, it depicts that the intensity of significant peaks of ether and carboxylate group increases as the concentration of polymer increases. The XRD analysis showed that as the concentration of polymer increase, the amorphous region in the films would be enhanced. This study showed that the concentration play significant role in the ionic conductivity improvement.

Chitosan-Starch blend biopolymer electrolyte system doped with different percentage of BMIMNO3 was prepared via solution casting technique. The crystalinity of the system was calculated using data extracted from x-ray diffraction (XRD). The film was characterized by impedance spectroscopy HIOKI 3531-01 LCR Hi-Tester to measure its ionic conductivity over a wide range of frequency between 50Hz-5MHz and at temperatures between 298 K and 378 K. The result exhibit the advantages of ionic liquid as a charge carrier and also revealed that addition of 5% of BMIMNO3 shows the highest conductivity of (2.26 +-0.96) x 10-4 Scm-1 .Conductivity-temperature relationship indicate that the system seems to obey the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher (VTF) behaviour.

This present work focuses on the conduction properties investigation on solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBEs) based alginate doped with various composition of glycolic acid (GA). The film was successfully prepared via solution casting technique and was characterized for conduction properties by using impedance spectroscopy. Based on ionic conductivity study, sample containing with 20 wt. % of GA possessed an optimum ionic conductivity of 5.32 × 10-5 Scm−1 at ambient temperature (303 K). The dielectric analysis revealed the highest ionic conductivity sample based alginate-GA SBEs has the highest dielectric constant and loss and increased significantly when temperature increases at ambient temperature. The dielectric properties shows that the entire alginate-GA SBEs are non-Debye behavior where there is no single relaxation occurred in the present system.

The biopolymer blend based electrolyte films were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy to investigate the formation of the dual-blend biopolymer based complexes. X-Ray Diffraction result showed that all dual-blend samples were predominantly amorphous. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted to obtain their ionic conductivities. The highest conductivity at ambient temperature of 1.03 × 10–5 S cm–1 was obtained for the electrolyte film containing 40 wt% of NH4NO3. These results indicated that the dual-blend biopolymer based electrolyte has potential for application of electrochemical devices.

A solution casting technique was applied to prepare a binary poly (vinyl alcohol)/Al2O3 nanocomposite. The structural properties of nanocomposite were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectra, field emission scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray analyses, and X-ray diffraction. The hybrid PVA/Al2O3 film exhibited a conspicuous catalytic performance for synthesis of thiazole derivatives under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the optimization of catalytic efficiency and reusability of this nanocomposite have been investigated.
