In this work, solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBE) containing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) doped with ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN) were prepared via solution casting method. The ionic conductivity and dielectric properties of CMC-NH4SCN system were investigated by electrical impedance spectroscopy in the temperature range of 303-353 K. The dc conductivity shows that the highest ionic conductivity of 6.48 x 10-5 Scm-1 at ambient temperature was obtained when 25 wt.% of NH4SCN was incorporated. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity revealed that CMC-NH4SCN system was discovered to obey Arrhenius law where the regression value is almost unity (R2≈1). Activation energy of CMC-NH4SCN system was found to decrease with the increment of NH4SCN concentration. The dielectric behaviour of the CMC-NH4SCN system have been analyzed using dielectric permittivity (ε*) and electrical modulus (M*) spectra. Results from dielectric studies showed a non-Debye behaviour of CMC-NH4SCN system.

This paper present the development of plasticized solid bio-electrolytes (PSBs) which has been accomplished by incorporating various composition of plasticizer namely ethylene carbonate (EC) with carboxy methylcellulose doped NH4Br via solution casting method. The plasticized polymer–salt ionic conduction of PSBs has been analyzed by electrical impedance spectroscopy. Plasticization using EC in PSBs system assists the enhancement of NH4Br dissociation and therefore increases the protonation process in the system. The highest ionic conductivity obtained for CMC−NH4Br containing with 25 wt. % NH4Br was achieved at 1.12 x 10-4 Scm-1 and improved to 3.31 x 10-3 Scm-1 when EC was added in PSBs system. The ionic conductivity-temperature for PSBs system was found to obey the Arrhenius relationships where the ionic conductivity increases with temperature. The solid-state proton batteries were assembled with the formation of Zn + ZnSO4.7H2O || highest conducting PSBs system || MnO2 and achieve with a maximum open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.48 V at room temperature and showed good in rechargeablity performance with more than 10 cycles.

Solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBE) comprising carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with NH4Br-EC were prepared by solution casting method. The samples were characterized by impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and sample containing 25wt. % of NH4Br exhibited the highest room temperature conductivity of 1.12 x 10-4S/cm for salted CMC based SBE system. The ionic conductivity increased to 3.31 x 10-3S/cm when 8 wt. % of ethylene carbonate (EC) was added to the highest conductivity. The conductivity-temperature of plasticized SBE system obeys the Arrhenius relation where the ionic conductivity increases with temperature. The influence of EC addition on unplasticized CMC based SBE was found to be dependent on the number and the mobility of the ions. This results revealed that the influence of plasticizer (EC) which was confirmed play the significant role in enhancement of ionic conductivity for SBE system.

A conducting solid biodegradable polymer electrolytes based carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) doped ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN) system with concentration in the range 0 – 25 wt.% of NH4SCN have been prepared via solution casting method. The impedance study of CMC-NH4SCN system was measured via Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in the temperature range 303 K – 353 K. The highest ionic conductivity at room temperature (303 K) is 6.48 x 10-5Scm-1for sample containing 25 wt.% NH4SCN. The temperature dependence of CMC-NH4SCN system was found to obey the Arrhenius behaviour where the ionic conductivity increases with increase of temperature. Dielectric data were analyzed using complex permittivity, Ɛifor sample with the highest ionic conductivity at various temperatures and found was non Debye behavior. The conduction mechanism of the charge carrier of CMC-NH4SCN system can be presented by quantum mechanical tunneling (QMT) model.

Lauroyl-chitosan/poly(methylmethacrylate)-lithium trifluorosulfonate (LiCF3SO3) polymer electrolytes has been prepared by the solution casting method. Ionic conductivity analysis was conducted over a wide range of frequency between 50 Hz-1 MHz using impedance spectroscopy to evaluate the dielectric properties and conductivity of the sample. Sample with 30 wt% of LiCF3SO3 showed the highest conductivity of 7.59 ± 3.64 x 10-4 Scm-1 at room temperature. Complex permittivity for real (εr), imaginary (εi) and electrical modulus for real (Mr) and imaginary (Mi) part was determined and plotted. The relaxation time, τ for these samples was determined and the plot shows that τ decreases with conductivity of the complexes.

The development of biopolymer electrolytes based on methylcellulose (MC) has been accomplished by incorporating ammonium bromide (NB) to the polymer-salt system. The biopolymer electrolytes were prepared via solution-casting method. The conductivity and permittivity characteristics of the material were studied. The biopolymer-salt complex formation have been analysed through Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The conductivity of the sample was measured by EIS HIOKI. Upon addition of 20 wt.% of NB, highest conductivity of 3.25×10-4 μScm-1 was achieved at ambient temperature. The temperature dependence of the biopolymer electrolytes exhibit Arrhenius behaviour. This result had been further proven in FTIR study.

In this work, poly(1-butene) (PB-1) composite films with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were prepared by a solution casting method. The relationship between the dielectric properties and the crystal transformation process of the films was investigated. It was indicated that there were two crystal forms of I and II of PB-1 during the solution crystallization process. With the prolongation of the phase transition time, form II was converted into form I. The addition of the conductive filler (MWCNT) accelerated the rate of phase transformation and changed the nucleation mode of PB-1. The presence of crystal form I in the system increased the breakdown strength and the dielectric constant of the films and reduced the dielectric loss, with better stability. In addition, the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the MWCNT/PB-1 composite films increased with the addition of MWCNT, due to the interfacial polarization between MWCNT and PB-1 matrix. When the mass fraction of the MWCNT was 1.0%, the composite film had a dielectric constant of 43.9 at 25 °C and 103 Hz, which was 20 times that of the original film.

To meet the requirement of microelectronic industry, ceramic/polymer composite films made of CaCu3Ti4O12(CCTO) powder as filler and PVDF copolymer as matrix were prepared by solution casting method. The dielectric properties (DP) and morphology of the films were studied by impedance analyzer and scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively. The dielectric constant could reach 23.96 and loss 0.1082 when mass fraction of CCTO is 50% at 100 Hz. SEM results show that CCTO particles dispersed well in the PVDF matrix. At last, three composite models were used to predict the dielectric constant of the composite films and it is proved that Yamada model fits the experimental data well.

ABSTRACTBy using conventional solution casting method, a flexible ceramic [CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO)]-Polymer [P(VDF-TrFE)] composite has been fabricated. The CCTO ceramic powders with a relative uniform size were prepared by traditional powder processing method. The dielectric properties of these films with different CCTO fractions were determined. The process was optimized to achieve high dielectric constant. A dielectric constant about 510 at room temperature and 1240 at 95 °C at 1 kHz for 6 layer hot compression was obtained.
