Polymer electrolyte membrane based on Polyethylene oxide/1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate (PEO-BMImHSO4) is prepared. The highest room temperature ionic conductivity of the membrane is obtained as ~ 4.27 × 10 -5 Scm -1 . Ion dynamics is studied using dielectric measurements which reveal translational motion of the ions in the prepared polymer electrolyte. The loss tangent (tan į) reflects faster ion hoping in the electrolyte but at higher concentration of IL, hoping rate receives tapering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
