Abstract. The systems poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (PBAN) -lithium salts have been studied by means of X-ray and IR spectroscopy, optical microscopy and ac-and dc-conductivity measurements. X-ray and microscopy studies have confirmed that PBAN dissolves LiC104 up to [CN]/[Li] = 2: 1. IR spectra of the samples with LiAsF 6, LiCF3SO 3 and LiC104 have indicated the coordination between Li § and the polar CN groups of PBAN. So, PBAN was found to be a suitable polymer matrix for SPE. The polymer films exhibited predominant ionic conductivity. Measurements of conductivity and Li transport numbers versus temperature over a wide range of salt concentrations revealed the existence of two concentration regions (within the limits of salt solubility) corresponding to liquid-like and glass-like ion transport mechanisms. New solid polymer electrolyte with lithium single-ion conductivity of 10 .3 S cm "1 at 25 -95 ~ was obtained.
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.
