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.

Magnesium-ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) based on PMMA with ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) as a plasticizing solvent were prepared via the solution casting technique. Mg(CF3SO3)2 salt was used as source of magnesium ions, Mg2+. The variation of conductivity with salt concentrations, from 5 wt.% to 30 wt.% was studied. The gel polymer electrolyte with composition 20 wt.% of Mg(CF3SO3)2 exhibited the highest conductivity of 1.27 x 10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature. The conductivity-temperature dependence of gel polymer electrolyte films obeys Arrhenius behaviour with activation energy in the range of 0.18 eV to 0.26 eV. Ionic transport number was evaluated using DC polarization technique and it reveals the conducting species are predominantly ions. It is found that the ionic conductivity and transport properties of the prepared GPEs are consistent with the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) studies.

The gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) composed of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) with lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF3SO3) salt dissolved in a binary mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) organic solvents have been prepared by the solution casting technique. The samples are prepared by varying the salt concentrations from 5 wt.% to 30 wt.%. Impedance spectroscopy measurement has been carried out to determine the ionic conductivity of the samples. The sample containing 25 wt.% of LiCF3SO3salt exhibits the highest room temperature ionic conductivity of 2.56 x 10-3S cm-1. The conductivity of the GPEs has been found to depend on the salt concentration added to the sample, while at higher salt concentration reveals a decrease in the ionic conductivity due to ions association. The temperature dependence of conductivity from 303 K to 373 K is found to obey the Arrhenius law. The ionic transference number,tiof GPEs has been estimated by the DC polarization method and the value is found to be 0.98, 0.93, and 0.97 for the sample containing 25 wt.%, 5 wt.% and 30 wt.% respectively. This result is consistent with the conductivity studies.

Corn starch (CS) – sodium chloride (NaCl) based polymer electrolytes were prepared by solution casting technique. At room temperature, CS-NaCl film with ratio of 70 wt. % - 30 wt. % demonstrates the highest ionic conductivity in the range of (1.72 ± 0.12) x10-5 Scm-1. Temperature-dependence ionic conductivity study follows Arrhenius model and using related plot, the activation energy for highest conducting composition is 0.16eV. The transport number measurement studies confirmed that the ionic conductivity of this polymer electrolyte is due to ions. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis proved the interaction between CS and NaCl.

The present work deals with the findings on the ionic conduction behavior based on ethylene carbonate (EC) as plasticizer in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) – dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) for green polymer electrolytes (GPEs) that were prepared via solution casting technique. The highest ionic conductivity obtained for CMC-DTAB film was 7.72 x 10-4 S/cm and enhanced to 2.37 x 10-3 S/cm with addition 10wt. % of EC. The conductivity-temperature of GPEs system obeys the Arrhenius relation where the ionic conductivity increases with temperature. The temperature dependence of the power law exponent for plasticized CMC-DTAB based GPEs system follows the quantum mechanical tunneling (QMT) model for conduction mechanism.

To find out the proper sodium ion conducting electrolyte at room temperature, we investigated the ac impedance measurement of PVdF gel polymer electrolyte and liquid tetraglyme(TEGDME) with various concentrations of sodium trifluoromethane sulfonate(NaCF3SO3). The concentration of NaCF3SO3 did not severely affect the ionic conductivity. The sodium ionic conductivity using TEGDME with NaCF3SO3 was about 3.3×10-4 S㎝-1 which was lower than that of the PVdF gel polymer electrolyte, 5.0×10-4 S㎝-1. From the viewpoint of ionic conductivity, PVdF gel polymer electrolyte was proper electrolyte for sodium battery.

A gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) comprising of 62.3 mol% of epoxidized-30% poly(methyl methacrylate) grafted natural rubber (EMG30) as a polymer host, LiCF3SO3 as a dopant salt and ethylene carbonate (EC) as a plasticizer was prepared by solution-casting technique. The effect of plasticizer on the EMG30- LiCF3SO3 on the ionic conductivity is explained in terms of the plasticizer loading of the film. The temperature dependence of the conductivity of the polymer films obeys the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher (VTF) relationship. The ionic transference number is calculated using Wagner’s polarization technique shows that the conducting species are predominantly due ions and hence showed the system is an ionic conductor. Surface morphological analysis showed the sample with the highest conductivity exhibited most homogenous in nature.

Poly (methyl) methacrylate (PMMA)-based gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) containing magnesium triflate, Mg (CF3SO3)2 salt were prepared using solution casting technique. Different concentrations of Mg (CF3SO3)2 ranging from 5 wt.% to 30 wt.% have been added into a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) with a fixed mass ratio of 2:1. These free-standing GPE films were characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The highest ionic conductivity of 1.27 x 10-3 S cm-1 is obtained from the GPE film containing 20 wt.% of Mg (CF3SO3)2 salt. The electrochemical window stability has been found in the range of-2.5 V to 2.5 V for the highest conducting GPE film. This value is considerably high enough for the GPE film to be used as electrolyte in magnesium rechargeable batteries.
