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.

Abstract Benzoguanamine doped 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% PVDF/KI/I2 polymer electrolytes were prepared by solution casting technique. The crystallinity, surface morphology, ionic conductivity and photovoltaic performance of polymer electrolytes were analyzed. The PXRD studies have confirmed the decreased and increased crystallinity of benzoguanamine doped polymer electrolytes. The surface morphology of polymer electrolytes is discussed using SEM analysis. From the AC-impedance analysis, ionic conductivity of benzoguanamine doped 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% PVDF/KI/I2 polymer electrolytes were calculated as 5.57 × 10− 6 Scm− 1, 1.05 × 10− 5 Scm− 1, 5.95 × 10− 5 Scm− 1, 3.09 × 10− 5 Scm− 1, 1.56 × 10− 5 Scm− 1 and 1.48 × 10− 5 Scm− 1, respectively. The photovoltaic performance of benzoguanamine doped 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% PVDF/KI/I2 polymer electrolytes based DSSCs have achieved 1.5%, 1.9%, 2.8%, 2.5%, 2.3% and 2.1% power conversion efficiency, 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.

Polymer electrolytes consisting of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) in combination with lithium triflate (LiCF3SO3) salt of varying concentration have been prepared using the conventional solution casting technique in the argon atmosphere. Structural electrical characterizations of the synthesized electrolytes have been performed using various imaging and spectroscopic techniques. The DC conductivities determined by complex impedance plots reveal gradual increase with increase in salt concentration up to a particular limit and decrease subsequently. The maximum DC conductivity obtained at 300 K is 1.64 × 10−4 Scm−1 for the electrolyte with a polymer to salt weight ratio of 1:1.8. The temperature-dependent conductivity followed a mixed Arrhenius and Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher type behaviour for the polymer electrolytes. From the Summerfield master curve plot, the conductivity of the solid polymer electrolytes is found to depend not only on ion dynamics but also on the segmental mobility of the polymer chains.
